Description

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, 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.

The backyard is large and the back porch invites reading in rocking chairs or a hammock.

It is about an hour or so from various 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.
