Modern comforts in this gorgeous, passive solar, post and beam house on 50 private acres with a view of the Green Mountain foothills. All season beauty and tranquility; great for family holiday gatherings! High Speed Fiber Optic internet and cell service makes it easy to work reliably and relax.
Two huge bedrooms (450 sq ft) and a third medium sized. One of the bedrooms has a king size bed, the two others have queens. There are two and a half bathrooms - one in the master bedroom. Bedrooms are on the second and third floors accessed by a fairly wide spiral staircase.
Passive solar house (wood pellet / radiant heat - warm floors) is spacious and comfortable; washer, dryer, expansive and well-equipped kitchen, wood floors, large living room/dining room with wood stove and a 34' x 12' deck that looks an amazing view of the Green Mountains.
This property has a little of everything. A third of a mile off a quiet country road with a pond, fire pit, streams, perennial gardens galore, with awesome hiking trails, lakes and cross country skiing nearby. Field stone fire pit and gas grill for great summer and fall hanging out.
Ashfield, MA is a quintessential New England town with great amenities - Elmer's a community owned coffee shop, the Lake House (lunch and dinner right on Ashfield Lake), Country Pie (a decent pizza place) as well as Neighbors (a gas station and convenience store.) So while you'll be out in the woods you're not in the middle of no-where.
Ashfield has a wonderful town beach, town tennis courts (free), and a community golf course available to all. There are well marked town hiking trails in several locations and the DAR State forest just minutes away with swimming, hiking, skiing galore. Ashfield also has the Double Edge Theater, an ensemble of multi-talented artists whose performances are immersive events that are physical, lush and dreamlike.
Minutes from the historic, quaint New England town of Shelburne Falls, MA; 30 minutes from the restaurants, culture and shopping of Northampton and Greenfield, MA, forty minutes from Amherst and an hour to the cultural gems of the Berkshires; Mass Moca, Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, the Clark Museum, The Mount - Edith Wharton's homestead, etc.
It is also 30 minutes away from Smith College, 40 minutes from Amherst, Hampshire and UMass/Amherst and 50 minutes from Mt Holyoke College and all they have to offer. Cultural and educational events and museums including the Smith College Museum of Art, Mead Art Museum, Beneski Museum of Natural History and the Eric Carle Museum.
Plenty of sports activities year round including rafting, mountain biking, cross-country skiing, down hill skiing, snow shoeing, fishing and swimming. Check out Zoar Outdoor, Berkshire East, Stump Sprouts, Notchview Nordic skiing for more information.
Dozens of nearby farm stands sell locally grown and produced products including maple syrup, grass fed beef, hard cider, eggs, fruit, honey, yoghurt and raw milk, eggs, vegetables and flowers
Only two hours from Boston; three and a half hours from NYC.
The owner lives mostly on the premises in a studio apartment above the garage; you may see her in the garden or feeding the birds but overall is pretty low profile. Feel free to enjoy fully the yard, the fire pit and the pond (sorry no swimming.)
