Description
Tucked against hundreds of acres of protected forest, this beautifully preserved late 1700s Berkshire homestead offers a rare blend of historic New England character, thoughtful modern upgrades, and direct access to the outdoors.
Rich in period detail, the home showcases authentic craftsmanship, including hand-hewn beams, wooden pegs, and square nails, timeless elements seldom found beyond true historic farmhouses. Beneath it all, a fieldstone foundation with an insulated rim joist has been professionally sealed, while recent improvements such as a fully insulated roof and comprehensive air sealing enhance comfort and efficiency throughout.
Supplements: Modern systems have been carefully integrated to support year-round living, including an energy efficient mini-split heat pump system providing both heating and air conditioning, a heat pump water heater, and a new 100-amp electrical panel. Hydronic heat remains in place as a reliable backup, offering peace of mind during colder Berkshire winters. The outdoor setting is equally compelling. A fully fenced yard opens through a rear gate directly onto an expansive network of woodland trails, offering immediate access to hiking, biking, snowshoeing, and year-round exploration right from your own backyard. A standout feature is the 12' x 30' off-grid solar-powered barn, fully wired for electricity and lighting and complete with a propane heater and full loft. Currently used as a private fitness studio, this versatile space lends itself equally well to a workshop, studio, or home office--ideal for today's flexible lifestyle needs. Ideally located in the heart of the Berkshires, this property offers a unique balance of privacy and accessibility, equally suited as a full time residence, weekend retreat, or remote work escape surrounded by nature. A truly distinctive offering for those seeking historic charm, modern efficiency, and an immersive Berkshire lifestyle.
