Thimble Cottage on the Green River ~ This two-bedroom, one-full-, one-half-bath home perched overlooking the tranquil banks of the Green River awaits its new steward! Dating back to 1850, this staple of scenic Green River Road has been extensively updated in recent years highlighting new kitchen and bathroom details, Anderson windows, plenty of closets and built-in shelving plus mechanicals. On 1.7 acres of expansive land, the large one-bay gambrel-roof barn/garage features an improved office area with heat, ceiling fans and infrastructure to work in an incredible country setting with possible room for expansion above in its spacious loft area. Enjoy being one of three South Williamstown residents sharing this iconic stretch of the Green River bordered by historic Mount Hope Farm, Green River Farm and all the wildlife that makes their home here. Just minutes to the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute, Williamstown Theatre Festival, Williams College and Spring Street in the center of Williamstown and 20 minutes from MASS MoCA, the largest contemporary art museum in the US. This is a very special property rich in history located in the historic district of South Williamstown and having strong ties to Mount Hope Farm. Originally built for the piggery farmer more than 160 years ago, you can still see stone foundations belonging to the original footbridge across the river, which allowed access to farm barns and animals. Just prior to the current owners, this wonderful property was home to one of the caretakers to Mount Hope Farm and longtime resident of the area. Today, Thimble Cottage has been transformed into an inviting, updated retreat with more than 600 feet of lovingly maintained lilac bushes bursting with incredible fragrance noticeable upon your approach in spring; stately, old-growth willow trees stretching along the 1000-plus feet of river frontage and landscaped perennial beds throughout the property. Whether a weekend or seasonal getaway or your next full-time home, there are few options as unique as Thimble Cottage on the Green River.
