Knoll Rock is a rare compound in the Berkshire foothills of Canaan, NY, offering privacy, history and versatility on 10 + acres. Located on a quiet and desirable dirt road surrounded by other charming Shaker vernacular homes and estate properties, the compound includes two fully restored historic residences on separate lots, seamlessly blending 18th- and 19th-century architectural character with modern luxury. Both houses were sensitively renovated by its English owner, a master craftsman inspired by the Cotswold-like landscape that surrounds the property. Well-suited for income generation, multi-generational living, or live/work scenarios, Knoll Rock has been successfully operated as both a short-term rental (rated 5 stars on Airbnb) and longer-term seasonal rental, hosting artists at nearby cultural institutions in Lenox, Mass. The main Dutch Colonial home (c. 1760) boasts four bedrooms, four baths, two kitchens, original pre-Revolutionary ''shotgun'' chestnut beams, and wide-plank floors. The second farmhouse home (c. 1890) offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including a first-floor primary suite, along with a detached guest cottage with kitchenette and bath. A picturesque barn and rustic shed add charm and functionality, while rolling meadows, mature trees, and deeded access to nearby Queechy Lake complete this idyllic country retreat. 91 Miller Road - A beautifully restored post-and-beam Dutch Colonial dating to 1760 and set on 2.79 acres, this distinctive property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of early American architecture thoughtfully updated for modern living.

A generous family room with an additional bioethanol fireplace provides added gathering space and may also function as a formal dining room or media room. All four bathrooms have been tastefully updated with European-style spa-like showers and contemporary fixtures, including one with a jetted tub. Outdoor features include a covered porch, a pergola with blue-stone patio, and mature landscaping that enhances the home's tranquil, wooded setting. 95 Miller Road - Set on 7.09 acres, this fully renovated 1890 farmhouse is rich in character, featuring original exposed ceiling beams and wide plank flooring throughout.
