18th Century Refurbished Yankee 3 Bedroom Farmhouse in the Berkshires

Built in 1794, this refurbished farmhouse sits on 7 acres on a secluded lane in one of the most charming towns in Western Massachusetts. With three full bedrooms, two full bathrooms, living room, dining room, utility room, and full back porch and deck, this historic farmhouse offers both rustic charm and modern comforts, including a fully-equipped kitchen with a refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer. Situated halfway between Greenfield and Williamstown, MA and on the border of Vermont, the house is steps away from over 500 acres of hiking trails. Guests also have access to Pelham Lake with a sandy beach and playground area, canoes, paddle boards and kayaking. The backyard is large and the back porch invites reading in rocking chairs or a hammock. A short 15-20 minutes away in Charlemont, Mass, are two water rafting or zip-lining recreation offerings, or skiing or snowboarding in Berkshire East Mountain Resort. It is about 40 minutes from Haystack and Stowe skiing resorts in Vermont.

If you want access to cultural events, the house is 30 minutes from Mass MOCA, the Clark Art Institute, historic Deerfield, Williamstown Theatre Festival in Massachusetts; and, the Marlboro Music Festival and Brattleboro or Bennington in Vermont. It is less than 2 hours to Jacob’s Pillow Dance Festival, Tanglewood Summer Music Festival or Hancock Shaker Village.

The house includes a Peloton bike, an erg, and free weights. The Town Hall offers a smaller gym with a rower, elliptical and standing weight machines and is available 8-4 Monday-Thursday. The local library, down the street, hosts children’s activities on Wednesdays.
