Rare opportunity to own this private, 32-acre estate in the center of Alford. Built in 1875, the historic post-and-beam home was completely renovated by famed director Dick Schneider to create this spacious and comfortable country house perfect for relaxing with friends and family. The main part of the house features a light-filled, eat-in kitchen which leads out to the deck overlooking nature. The living room has a wood-burning fireplace and an adjacent den with attached full bath. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms including a large master suite. The breezeway off the downstairs atrium leads to a 2-car garage above which are located the guest quarters with full bath and which is also ideal for use as an office or home gym. The grounds are simply gorgeous, with the Alford Brook running through. Land can be subdivided for a second house to be built.

The grounds are simply gorgeous, with the Alford Brook running through the front of the property. Trails have been blazed leading to the upper land, revealing spectacular views of the local hills, and providing an opportunity to build. Seven minutes to Great Barrington yet another world away. A truly magical retreat you will never want to leave.
