A spectacular house in a spectacular setting!!! Kitty corner to the Shutesbury Elementary School, this lovely home is a delightful mixture of classic and new! Tastefully renovated, adding the much desired 1st floor master suite, while keeping the charming details of a period home. The original three bedroom house was moved to it’s current location from the Atkins Reservoir, where it now sits amidst an heirloom apple orchard with a classic New England red barn and a separate workshop. It has been a potato farm, orchard, turkey farm and a Christmas Tree craft shop. This house has history! Enjoy cozying up to the wood stove or simply relax with the radiant heated flooring. Picture walking out the French doors to savor your morning coffee on your private patio surrounded by nature. Country charm all within a 15 minute drive to downtown Amherst. Come see what Western Ma has to offer!!! Broadband internet up and running.
