Perched atop a breathtaking ridgeline with some of the most extraordinary panoramic views in the Berkshires, this remarkable almost 18-acre estate parcel is one of only seven exclusive homesites within this private enclave. With the most recent neighboring estate having changed hands for $5.6 million, the property's exceptional pedigree and enduring value are unmistakable. Surrounded by more than 220 acres of permanently protected conservation land, the property offers unparalleled privacy, timeless natural beauty, and direct access to a protected greensward ideal for hiking, cross-country skiing, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. A handcrafted stone bridge spanning a tranquil woodland stream welcomes you to an expansive, level building site with coveted southeastern exposure, perfectly positioned to capture dramatic sunrises, rolling hills, forested vistas, and ever-changing Berkshire skies. The entrance, approach, dwelling site, and selective clearing have all been thoughtfully completed, providing an exceptional canvas for a world-class estate. The property spans two of the Berkshires' most desirable low-tax towns--11.2 acres in Egremont and 6.8 acres in Alford and borders New York State, offering the perfect blend of Berkshire culture, Hudson Valley charm, and convenient access to major metropolitan destinations. Perfectly situated in the heart of the Berkshires--home to Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, exceptional farm-to-table dining, boutique shopping, renowned cultural institutions, and endless outdoor recreation--the location balances complete privacy with remarkable accessibility. Hudson, New York, with direct Amtrak service to New York City, is nearby, while Manhattan's Upper West Side is approximately two hours away. Boston is just 2½ hours, Albany one hour, and Hartford 1½ hours. With an existing well, roughed-in driveway, excellent percolation, and permanently protected unobstructed views, much of the essential groundwork has already been completed. Opportunities of this caliber are exceedingly rare--a chance to create a legacy estate in one of the Berkshires' most coveted and thoughtfully planned settings.
