Experience the beauty and tranquility of mountain living in a custom-built, passive solar home set on 50 lush acres. $397,000

Experience the beauty and tranquility of mountain living in a custom-built, passive solar home set on 50 lush acres. This just six year old home was designed and built by engineers who planned for it to be their forever home. With that in mind, the owners chose to use more robust materials, installation methods and standards than are typically used.

The home boasts super energy efficiency with exceptionally thick walls, and every detail of the construction was purposefully and carefully planned. This home has a southeast exposure with large windows throughout that offer abundant natural light, enhancing the warmth in winter months. Craftsmen, artists, and engineers will appreciate the expansive shop/studio space in the basement, featuring pristine radiant heated floors, great lighting, and accommodating large equipment with ease.

With a 300 Amp electric service and several hardwired 240V outlets, the shop space is setup for welders or other high power machinery. Specially designed combination man door / barn type insulated swing-out doors allow for large equipment, artwork, or most any project to be brought in and out easily. The bright and airy living / dining area has a woodstove that keeps the upstairs warm with minimal wood.

There is a versatile great room off of the living area that could easily be turned into a first floor master suite, an exercise room, a studio space, a kids playroom or anything else you can imagine. The kitchen features a custom stainless-steel counter and sink designed for functionality and convenience. Upstairs is a master suite, two bedrooms and a study. The owners have continued to work on various house projects while living in the home, but it is not 100% complete.

It is just waiting for new owners who will finish it. This home presents an opportunity for new owners to personalize with their preferred floors and finishes. Just a few minutes from North Adams and Mass MoCA, and not far from Williamstown and all of the arts and culture that The Berkshires is famous for.

Mount Snow ski area is just 30 minutes away, and mountain biking, boating, hiking, world class fly fishing, and lots more are right on your doorstep. Ride snowmobiles or ATV’s on your own beautiful land, or use the major multi-town trails which are close by. There is the potential to build at least one more house on this lot.
