Description
This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from August 07, 2023
The Colt Tavern on the Old Traveler Road.
This glorious 18th century property is every historic home lover's dream. Set on 17 acres of pastoral bliss with big sky and Taconic mountain views on a seldom traveled country lane. Around two centuries ago, the Colt Tavern was converted to a single family home and has since been lovingly restored with a Shaker-like simplicity by its owner, a renowned architect.
The home's rich detail and depth of historic character are evident at every turn. Exquisite light is achieved through high ceilings and typical Georgian Federal architectural details, such as a five-bay facade with 12 pane over 12 windows, a Palladian window, and a center entry with transom window and sidelights. A large fireplace highlights the rear living room, in what was originally the tavern's kitchen. Original wood floors, doors, moulding, and hardware are found throughout.
The home's first floor features a center hallway, two first floor living areas with fireplaces, a dining room with fireplace, kitchen, and a half bath. Four bedrooms and two full baths are found on the second floor, and the attic features additional living space (with some finishing required) and a full bath.
Two handsome restored timber frame barns with metal roofs are found across the lawn. They are suitable for a variety of uses, having previously hosted square dances, horse stables, auto and tractor storage, and a two-story workshop.
Follow the path near the barns to the rear of the property and find sanctuary at a serene spring-fed pond, where one can watch turtles, birds, pollinators, and frogs in the warm season and ice skate in the winter months.
Pastoral and private, the property also includes a large cleared field with protected views of the Taconic mountains, and sits across the street from over 500 acres of conserved land that protects the critical Schenob Brook ecosystem, one of the most significant natural resources in Massachusetts.
Conveniently located to Berkshire and Connecticut attractions, and just 10 minutes to LaBonne's market in Salisbury and 20 minutes to Guido's in Great Barrington.
New septic system installed in April 2023. Air conditioning on the second floor. Home security system in place.
A bucolic Berkshires property with a serene sense of place unlike any other...come by for a visit at The Colt Tavern on the Old Traveler Road.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen my daughter was a student there, the school staff was so supportive & caring. I feel like it is a true example of 'no child left behind'. As well as exemplifying 'it takes a village to raise a child'. I don't believe that this kind of personal care & concern would have been possible in a larger school. Today she is a successful college sophmore studying forensic science thanks to the strong educational foundation that she received at Undermountain Elementary.Parent Review13y ago - Mt Everett Regional

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son attends this school. It is a good school with caring professionals. It can be hard to keep good teachers because we are so rural and housing is so unaffordable here. Last year my son had some struggles and his teachers all met to formulate a plan. They were really invested in his success and with their support he turned the year around.Parent Review7mo ago - New Marlborough Central

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is an extraordinary school. it's small enough (85) so that virtually every student is known by all the teachers. The school climate supports learning in creative ways so that kids may be outside in the garden or working on projects or making discoveries through one of the science-through art special units/productions put on in cooperation with Flying cloud Institute. The building is old and lacks a gym, but the really important features for positive learning are present; more than anything else this means a talented and dedicated group of teachers.Other Review9y ago
