When you near the top of the hill, the forest opens up to a contemporary mountain home. As you walk into the house thru the mud room, the Great Room opens before you with a soaring, 25ft peaked ceiling, sunlight streaming in thru windows, skylights and sliders everywhere, and the rich smell of yellow pine. The entire house is walled with tongue-in-groove yellow pine, with giant wood beams that run the length of the house and equally large cross beams and exposed joists, making a lattice of wood from floor to ceiling. Comfortably furnished and well appointed with all the comforts of home, you have multiple ways and places to relax. You can flop down on the giant sectional and put your feet up, go upstairs to the balcony and stretch out with a book or a game, go down to the lower level lounge and watch a movie on the 65” Samsung TV, retreat to your bedroom and take a nap curled up with feather and down pillows, or sit on the deck and bird watch at one of the feeders.Main FloorThe entire main floor is an open floor plan, with windows of all shapes and sizes, pine plank floors, and 4 sliders leading out to different parts of the huge deck. With the kitchen, living and dining areas open to each other, it lends perfectly to socializing and spending time with a group, whether you are on a multi-family holiday, a friends reunion or a single-family getaway. A fully appointed kitchen, with new high-end stainless steel appliances (GE Café 6-burner gas range/oven, Café Refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher), granite countertops, All Clad and Cuisinart cookware, Henkel cutlery, bakeware, serving platters, bowls and more, is ideal for making gourmet spreads to simple meals alike. People can eat at the large farm table (which can comfortably fit 10 or, with the extension, 12) in the dining area, on the screened in porch, or pull up a stool and sit at the eight foot island, perfect for socializing and helping with the meal prep. A big sectional faces a fully functional wood burning stove keeping you warm during those cold winter nights. And, for the more competitive types, there is a full-size foosball table with plenty of space around for spectators.Second FloorAs you walk up the wide stairs, you pass by an enormous angular plate glass window giving you a view out front and (in Spring) the Robin’s nest with babies, that sit on the outside sill. At the top of the stairs is an upstairs loft area with a small sectional couch that turns into a queen size sofa bed. You can watch the large 65” Samsung TV or pick a book or puzzle to relax. Along the railing you get a full view of the main floor layout just before you enter the master/primary bedroom. As you walk in, you see the giant beams and a cathedral ceiling, a king size bed, a long bench under a wall of windows facing south west, and an en suite bathroom with a double sink vanity.Lower levelAs you walk downstairs from the main level, you move from soaring timbers to a cozy lounge. The lower level lounge has a large sectional that can seat 6 in front of the large screen tv, or play board games on the large coffee table. As you work your way back you find 2 queen bedrooms, one with a built-in bed, and the other an impressive sleigh bed. Walking down the short hall you pass the other full bath and head into the bunk room, with handmade, sturdy, built in bunk beds and plenty of drawers for clothing.Amenities:Every convenience of living at home is provided whether it is choosing from any variety of puzzles and boardgames, cotton sheets (flannel for winter!), new mattresses and feather pillows (hypo-allergenic too!), to Smart TV’s, high speed WiFi, Alexa for music, cable and streaming services (or use your own), soap/shampoo, hair dryers, iron/ironing board, towels, washer/dryer, dishwasher, Braun coffee brewer, Keurig coffee maker, toaster oven, food processor, pots, pans, blender, baking and serving dishes, knives and utensils. Basic spices and baking ingredients are available, as well as condiments (tho many prefer to buy their own). You need only bring or toiletries and any food!PropertyThis striking contemporary house sits on 25 acres of very private woodland property, situated on the backside of Jiminy Peak, the largest ski mountain in Massachusetts. We abut 500 acres of private property and sit up the hill a couple hundred feet from the road, which makes it an exceptionally peaceful and quiet location. You are truly in nature. The sights and sounds of the forest are with you day and night, from the wind rustling the leaves and deer walking across the yard to the family of owls swooping from tree to tree and coyotes calling at night. We recently took down some trees to open up the space around the house, and create future space for more lawn and plantings, with the huge trees resting on the forest floor. The woods are lovely, looking densely packed from a distance but as you walk, you realize there is plenty of open space around you. Location and Things to DoSadie’s Woods is the ideal location for the outdoor enthusiast, as well as those who enjoy cultural pursuits. In winter: For skiing, we are less than 10 minutes from Jiminy Peak, and 45 mins or less to 4 other family ski mountains. For the more adventurous skiers, we are an ideal jumping off point for day trips to VT resorts Bromley and Mount Snow, a little more than an hour away. In Spring, Summer and Fall: We are a 5 minute drive from Pittsfield state forest and Balance Rock State Park, and 15 mins to Appalachian Trail access, with lots of great hiking within minutes of the house. For bikers and walkers, it is only 6 minutes to the beginning of Ashuwillticook Rail Trail, one of the longest in MA. For fishing, water sports and swimming, Lake Pontoosuc is 10 mins away, and Cheshire reservoir is 15 mins. There are 3 golf courses within 10 miles.The location is also perfect for those who want to enjoy culture and history from all parts of the Berkshires, from the Mass MoCA museum, Hancock Shaker Village and the Clark Art Institute, to music at Tanglewood or theater in Williamstown, being equidistant to both. On the way you go thru historic towns like Pittsfield, Lenox, and Adams (each with their own attractions). In each of these charming New England towns are fantastic food options for every meal.About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 10:30 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About customRules:Hypo-allergenic dogs possible upon request.
