About this home
Build Your Berkshire Dream Home: Views, Convenience, & Site Prep Complete! Immerse yourself in the tranquil beauty of the Berkshires. This exceptional property offers the perfect balance of a scenic country retreat and effortless proximity to urban convenience. Situated along a picturesque road, the gently graded, partially cleared acreage showcases sweeping mountain and pastoral views--the perfect backdrop for breathtaking nightly sunsets. While the location feels remarkably peaceful, it sits just minutes from downtown Pittsfield's dining and shopping, and a stone's throw from cultural icons like Tanglewood, alongside year-round recreation at Jiminy Peak and Bousquet Mountain. Designed to streamline your build process, major infrastructure improvements have already been secured, including an onsite private well, engineering for the septic design, wetlands delineation, and underground electric conduit. A spectacular head-start for your custom country estate. An adjoining 1.79-acre lot (MLS #250295) is also available for purchase, offering additional privacy or the opportunity to create a larger estate. The owner, a local builder, has home designs available and is available to build your new home, or you may choose the builder of your choice. Disclosure: If the lots are sold separately, the existing well on 499 Gale Ave will be shared by both lots and subject to a shared well agreement with cross easements. The lots are designed for a shared engineered septic system. Seller will install the system in accordance with the engineered plans. Contact listing agent for details.
