Picture perfect and ideally situated, this exceptional custom-built home is nestled on 15 private acres of fields and woodlands in the heart of Richmond, Massachusetts, just minutes from Tanglewood, the iconic Hancock Shaker Village, and a host of renowned cultural attractions.
Perched gracefully on a knoll, the main residence blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. Recent updates include a new HVAC system with two forced-air furnaces and two heat pumps, a new radiant floor heating system, and fresh interior paint throughout, including the kitchen. The home's open and inviting floor plan is complemented by warm wood floors, skylights, a built-in sound system, and multiple custom stone fireplaces that create a sense of serenity, warmth and comfort.. The spacious kitchen is ideal for both larger entertaining or quiet meals and features a center island with granite countertop, a dining area overlooking the fields, a new microwave and double oven, and a full suite of updated appliances. On two levels, the home offers four private bedroom suites, a terrific family room with fireplace and big views, and a library with custom cabinetry and gas fireplace.
Practical upgrades continue behind the scenes, including a newer septic system, updated lower-level cabinetry, and a new washer and dryer for everyday convenience. Outdoor living is equally refined with lush gardens, hand-laid stone walls, a welcoming porch, and a patio complete with koi pond perfect for al fresco dining or evening cocktails.
Just steps from the main house, the remodeled guest house offers flexible use as a studio or private retreat and features a bedroom area, full bath, and kitchenette. This light-filled area is highlighted with polished concrete floors, cathedral ceilings and had previously served as the workspace of an award-winning artist. A new roof installed in 2021 and gas furnace heating ensure year-round comfort.
The barn, once home to three horses, has been refurbished and features a new roof installed in 2024. The original stalls remain intact, offering the option for equestrian use or conversion to vintage car storage, workshop, or creative space.
Additional highlights include a wine room with a custom-carved door depicting a grape harvest, stunning views from every window, and quality craftsmanship throughout. Whether as a weekend getaway or a year-round sanctuary, this extraordinary property, which abuts 75 acres of the Richmond Land Bank complete with trail system in place, invites you to enjoy the very best of Berkshire living!
