An incredibly cozy five-bedroom home in the heart of the Berkshires has recently come back on the market for $1.49 million.
The striking post-and-beam mountain retreat in Hancock, MA, offers buyers rustic, warm interiors crafted by local artisans and the chance to own a home with access to year-round adventure.
Located just 3.5 miles from Jiminy Peak Mountain Resort, which is known for its ski slopes, mountain coaster, and four-season recreation, the property is perfectly positioned as a private escape for outdoor enthusiasts.
The nearby Appalachian Trail also provides endless hiking opportunities, while the college town of Williamstown (just 20 minutes away) offers access to Williams College, The Clark Art Institute, and contemporary art destination MASS MoCA.
But it’s not just the location that’s appealing; the property itself is equally captivating.
Set on more than 26 acres, the home was built in 2005 using regionally sourced and salvaged materials, resulting in a 5,000-plus-square-foot residence that feels deeply rooted in its surroundings.
“While it’s a relatively modern construction, the home has a true ‘heritage’ feel,” says listing agent Diane Thorson of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. “The property’s architecture and secluded location on the Hancock-Williamstown border make it a notable piece of luxury real estate.”
Inside, floor-to-ceiling windows capture sweeping mountain views, and the dramatic top-floor studio features a light-filled space that Thorson describes as being “like no other.”
The residence balances refined design with cozy mountain lodge energy. Exposed beams, soaring ceilings, and natural wood finishes create inviting interiors, while expansive decks make the home immensely suited for indoor-outdoor living.
Beyond its aesthetics, the property is loaded with wellness-focused amenities.
“A walk-out lower level features a professional six-station yoga wall, an outdoor hot tub, and a large Trex deck,” says Thorson. “The property also includes four garage stalls for cars.”
For buyers searching for a secluded mountain retreat that doesn’t sacrifice on recreation or culture, this home delivers on all fronts.
“The combination of a contemporary build, along with the views and seclusion, make this property a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ purchase,” says Thorson.
