Public Remarks: This is a great opportunity to own a unique property with frontage on Highway 20. A perfect location for a store front, artist studio or a great retreat. It is on 4.9 acres of land and a beautiful brook that combines forest and aquatic environments. Spectacular natural views bordering the State Forest and protected lands. Becket is characterized by open forest land and known internationally as the home of the Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival. The house and two-story barn need a complete renovation.
