173 Hillsdale Rd, South Egremont, MA, 01258
About This Home
Surrounded on three sides by Nature Conservancy-protected land, 173 Hillsdale Road is one of the most private and extraordinary estates in the Berkshires -- a handcrafted sanctuary where the wilderness is literally your backyard. Moose, deer, bear, fox, and turtles roam master-gardened grounds tended with rare care; fruit trees, a garden pond, mature perennial beds, and lush native plantings make every season a revelation. Custom-built in 2000 from timber milled directly on the property, this 4,842 sq ft home carries an irreplaceable provenance that announces itself at every turn. A native stone fireplace anchors the soaring vaulted great room. An ash sapling banister curves to the interior balcony above. Antique leaded glass casts dappled light across wide-plank floors. Reclaimed 18th-century doors from the historic Egremont Tavern frame the entry -- details that can never be reproduced, only discovered. Five bedrooms, five full baths, and an attached private apartment with balcony provide extraordinary flexibility -- full-time living, multi-generational use, or hosting guests in total comfort. Hot tub, screened porch, sunroom, barn/stable, and outbuilding complete this 8.79-acre estate. Minutes to Catamount, Great Barrington, Tanglewood, and the Taconic Parkway. Privacy without compromise. Craftsmanship without equal.
