Property Description
On a quiet country road shared with a roving gang of wild turkeys, sits a proud reproduction saltbox that graciously honors its colonial heritage. Practicing the fine craftsmanship of another era, this 3BR, 2 BA home was built in 1980 by the original owner. Perfectly sited on 8 wooded acres and across from conservation land, privacy and abundant wildlife are assured. An English Herb Garden greets you at the kitchen door, a screened porch soothes with birdsong and sunsets and a nature trail beckons. This exceptional property inspires exploration of the grounds, barn/garage/workshop, along with neighboring treasures--Becket Arts Center, Becket Town Beach, Jacobs Pillow, October Mountain State Forest, and many fine restaurants. Half hour to Lenox, Stockbridge, Chester Theatre and Tanglewood!
