East Hill Farm

A gunite pool and bluestone patio, a tennis court, a four-acre spring-fed pond, private trails, formal and vegetable gardens, an orchard, a greenhouse and a gazebo. Across 227 acres the land shifts from open pasture to woodland, so where you are changes what the day looks like.

The pond runs to four acres and is spring-fed, at the bottom of the pasture. Ask the listing broker about swimming and boating access before you visit.

Yes, horses are permitted. Stables, paddocks and run-in barns are already here, the pastures are fenced with water sources, and trails run through the property. The 18th-century barn anchors the east field, and the land is zoned RRD.

Yes, and it has been grown here for close to sixty years. A greenhouse, an orchard, vegetable gardens alongside the formal ones, and cleared level ground past that. These gardens weren't planted for a listing.

Conservation and state forest land borders the property to the north and south, which holds the privacy and the quiet in place long-term rather than leaving it to whoever buys the next parcel. The 227 acres themselves remain a single holding.

Neither the main house nor the guest barn has central air. At roughly 1,500 feet the hilltop catches the breeze, and the nights cool off even in July.

That's yours to decide. The listing notes cooling is relatively straightforward to add in both the main house and the guest barn.

Mornings begin cool at that elevation. Afternoons move between the pool, the tennis court, the gardens and the pond, and evenings come back to the porch, the patio, the balcony or the gazebo as the temperature drops.

Radiant, baseboard and forced air, running on oil, propane and wood, with the fireplaces on top of that. Water and septic are private, and the electrical service is 200+ amp.

Yes. The first-floor office has its own exterior entrance and a full bath, so it works as a separate workspace rather than a converted corner of the house.

Yes, one of the five bedrooms sits on the first floor. The office on that level has a full bath, the kitchen, dining and living rooms are on the same floor, and the house has an accessible entrance.

Annual property taxes are $26,400. The town assesses the property at $3,891,880, against an asking price of $3,998,000.

About two and a half hours to each. Closer in, Southfield is roughly five minutes for coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner, with Great Barrington a short drive past that.

The infrastructure is already here for all three — the four-residence guest compound, the stables and pastures, 227 acres. Zoning is RRD, and commercial use may require a special permit, so that's a conversation with the town.
