We looked for almost a year for just the right house. We put a compass in the center of Lenox and drew a 20 mile radius. My wife and I felt that Lenox is the center of the Berkshires, I'm sure others could argue, but for us, we are 10 minutes from Tanglewood. 40 minutes down the road from the Clark Museum or Mass-MoCA. 10 minutes from Shakespeare & Company or 20 minutes to Berkshire Theater Group. If yoga is your focus Kripalu another 5 minutes down the road from Tanglewood. I forgot Dance, Jacob’s Pillow is 20 minutes to the East.
And if it’s the outdoors you want anywhere in the Berkshires is the center. That explains the location. , As to the house and the land, the house was built in 1918 for the Parker Farm. And the land is some of the rolling fields’ clear back then for the farm. The farm backs up to the wetlands of the Housatonic River and be on that is October Mountain. The sunrises are spectacular.
