    To him who in the love of Nature holds …
    The venerable woods — rivers that move
    In majesty…
    "Thanatopsis," William Cullen Bryant
    (1794-1878)

Timeless beauty abounds on this 200± acre farm etched with a tracery of stone walls reaching back in time to the 1790s when Shaw Brook Farm was constructed. One can imagine a stage coach passing by the old "Otis Potato Whiskey Still" located in the handsome post and beam barn while Shaw Brook rushes in the distance, winding its way over waterfalls and swirling pools and finally spilling into the Westfield River.

      Old Goshen stone lines the path to the door of the inviting screen porch, which opens to the main living space. Here are dining and living rooms (each with its own fireplace), large country kitchen with hammered tin ceiling and two additional rooms with master bedroom potential, all on the first floor. The second floor has four sun splashed bedrooms, two full baths, laundry and office space.

      This magnificent property offers a rare opportunity to have your own hiking or cross country skiing trails, fly fish in your own stream, play tennis on your own court and swim in your own swimming pond! And still, it is convenient to all of the vibrant Berkshire and Hampshire communities with their cultural attractions, wonderful restaurants and exciting shopping opportunities.
