Surrounded by abundant birds and wildlife, with distant views of the Berkshire Mountains, this small farm compound is perfect for someone dreaming of homesteading, or just a weekend getaway. The contemporary wood and stone residence features an open floor plan with a spacious kitchen, living/dining area, wood burning stone fireplace with insert, vaulted wood ceilings, and a light-filled 20 x 20 sunroom with breathtaking views.
