With its balance of open loft area and cozy bedrooms, this 3 bedroom 2 bath log home has wonderful flexibility. Affording an excellent weekend getaway for two or ample space for larger groups to use as home base to explore nearby attractions including Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow dance center, the Becket Arts Center, and the Dreamaway Lodge. For outdoors enthusiasts, there is kayaking on Buckley-Dunton Lake, hiking/cross-country skiing in the 17,000-acre October Mountain State Forest, and as a Becket property owner, you will enjoy access to one of the gems of the region, Center Lake. Conveniently situated approximately two hours from Boston and three hours from New York City, this three-bedroom, two-bath home nestled in the middle of the generously proportioned tract has it all. Enjoy sipping coffee or tea to the sound of morning birds on the east-facing front porch, which is flooded with beautiful morning light. Entertain friends and family in the spacious three-season room. Wind down the day with glorious sunsets on the back patio area or survey the entirety of the retreat from the promontory that overlooks the homestead. And once the sun goes down, drink in the splendor of the starry nights while you bask in the warmth of a glowing campfire.
