The Woodlands, A RARE OPPORTUNITY TO OWN YOUR OWN 74-ACRE PRIVATE SANCTUARY IN THE HEART OF GREAT BARRINGTON. This property abuts the Thomas & Palmer Brook preserve on three sides, is a two-minute drive to Ski Butternut and five minutes to dining and shopping in downtown Great Barrington. A picturesque pond flows into a babbling brook right outside of the large cathedral-ceiling primary suite's windows. Big open lawns, a hayfield and an orchard surround the five bedroom three bath house, along with pristine woodlands that rises to the top of Three Mile Hill ridge. Hike and snowshoe throughout with private points of access into an additional 267 acres of protected Berkshire Natural Resources Council land trust. The light-filled home takes in the scenic Berkshire hills views, including a view of the ski trails across the road - as close to ski in/ski out as you can get. Plenty of space for you and all of your guests with 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a second floor cathedral-ceiling family room for watching movies and the big game. Other amenities include a stone fireplace, hardwood floors, a large work-from-home office with built in bookshelves and a secret room above, walk-in climate-controlled wine storage, first floor ski and boot room, golf bag storage, professional dark room, a large outdoor deck for grilling and enjoying the views, and under-house garages for four cars, plus a stand-alone additional garage on lower property. The ultimate private Berkshire retreat.
