About This Home

Authentic 1786 colonial on a scenic farm in the heart of the Berkshires, furnished with antique and vintage pieces. Screened-in porch with all-around views, folk art wall mural, and many original details are preserved throughout. Set in a lovely valley on a 280-acre farm and surrounded by stonewalls, fields, barns, woodlands and rolling hills on one of Monterey's most cherished back roads. Expansive lawn with gardens and old growth trees, berry bushes and rhubarb patch. Opportunities on the farm include cross-country skiing, walking the dirt roads, hiking, and gardening. We produce maple syrup in the early spring and hay during the summer when the sun shines. Wildlife abounds. This property is located one and a half miles from the center of the village, and is close to all that Monterey has to offer, including a lovely public beach on Lake Garfield, Beartown State Forest, seasonal ice skating rink, community center, library, farmers' market, Roadside Store & Cafe, and the Bidwell House Museum. We are twenty minutes from the towns of Great Barrington, Stockbridge and Lee, and thirty minutes to Tanglewood in Lenox and other area attractions. $3200 per month plus utilities with six month lease or longer. High speed fiber optic internet is available. Oil heat with 1100 gallons per year average usage, and propane and pellet stoves can be used as supplemental heat sources. Snow removal, lawn mowing, and trash removal are tenant’s responsibility.
