About This Property

Sometimes fairy tales do come true... Tucked away on five private acres in Monterey, this singular handcrafted Berkshire cottage feels as though it emerged from a storybook. Natural-edge wood siding, steep rooflines, a massive fieldstone chimney and a tower-like upper level rise from a landscape of hydrangeas, woodland and a grape-covered arbor. Inside, the house is an irresistible mix of rustic character and thoughtful updates. Original wood floors, reclaimed hand-hewn beams, paneled walls, arched doors and unexpected architectural details give each room its own identity. The dramatic great room is the heart of the house, where soaring volume, exposed beams, richly paneled walls and an immense fieldstone fireplace create a space that feels far removed from everyday life.
