Overview

Perfectly positioned on the border of Hancock and Williamstown, this striking Post & Beam contemporary estate offers a rare blend of architectural sophistication and rustic elegance. Spanning approximately 27 acres of meadows and woodlands, this property serves as a secluded sanctuary with views of countryside, mountains, and it is 3.5 miles to Jiminy Peak Ski Resort. The home's interior unfolds across three expansive levels defined by windows, views, soaring ceilings, and rich hardwood flooring.
The main living areas include a cozy living room with a Mansfield model wood-burning stove, media/music areas, and a 3-season sunroom that flows seamlessly onto a spacious trex deck. The chef's kitchen is a masterpiece of function and style, complete with a walk-in pantry and dining area. The primary suite is a remarkable haven with expansive windows all offering views. It boasts cherry floors, a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, a 25-foot walk-in closet, and a private ensuite bathroom. Four additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the second level, and an enclosed balcony with windows connecting two of the bedrooms frame the dramatic landscape. For those seeking the ultimate inspiring workspace, the residence's third-floor studio and office offering breathtaking 360-degree panoramic views of the surrounding Berkshire Mountains. The lower level is a walkout that contains an inhouse yoga studio with a six-station yoga wall. A custom bluestone retaining wall and staircase complete the walkout to an outdoor hot tub.
The grounds feature a private pond and a brook, both visible from various vantage points within the house. Additional structures include a four-car garage with both attached and detached options and a dedicated workshop with a potential studio loft above, making it an ideal retreat. While offering total seclusion, the estate remains minutes away from local cultural hubs and offers the unique financial advantage of Hancock's property tax rates, which are among the lowest in the region.
