Turn onto the maple lined driveway, observe the century old stone walls, an occasional bird feeder, admire the burst of multi-colored wildflower, catch a brief glimpse of the views that stretch beyond the neighboring state forest, pass the proud timber frame barn, and finally view the gracious residence,refined but not stuffy, elegant without pretense, this well constructed Bensonwood post and beam home is exceptionally designed for efficiency, comfort and convenience. With its precise joinery, super insulated structural panels, supremely efficient propane boiler, radiant floor heat, finely engineered masonry wood heater, wood dumbwaiter and pizza and bread oven, this very impressive home is a modern marvel--yet is imbued with the charm and warmth that accompanies great design, natural materials, and masterful execution. This home also features smart building practices and technology, energy conservation features, amenities like the grand but practical entry and mudroom, locally quarried Ashfield stone counters, galley pantry, first floor bedroom and walk in closet, goshen stone walkways and terrace, flower and vegetable gardens, outdoor shower, oversize garage and workshop, wood storage shed and barn. Brilliant workmanship--exceptionally well crafted cherry cabinetry, doors and trim, douglas fir mortise and tenon joinery, excellent landscaping, the hearth's fine masonry, the post and beam barn that was built using native materials..... Equally matched in brilliance are the bountiful gardens, excellent landscaping, great views and tremendous recreational opportunities afforded by the neighboring state forest with its thousands of acres of trails, forests, lakes, mountains and streams. Whether it's hiking, cross country skiing, horseback or motorized transport (ATV's and snowmobiles), there is no shortage of adventuring to be found in this neighborhood! Both the head and heart were in perfect accord when a creative and hardworking family joined forces with a team of artisans in creating this fine home and the rewarding lifestyle that accompanies it. With all Berkshire and Hampshire Counties' fine cultural and recreational activities just a scenic drive away, this is truly a rare and magical retreat!
