About This Home
As of September 2025Down West Road, just past Wyantenuck CC, a 1,500-ft drive climbs through towering trees. At the crest of Broken Hill, where the forest gives way to wide rolling lawns, sits one of the Berkshires' finest examples of American Shingle Style architecture--5,219 sf of cedar and stone. For those who know that real luxury is quality of life, Broken Hill offers space to breathe, room to gather, and peace that lingers. This 1910 Shingle Style home with soaring ceilings, and artfully scaled rooms that invite quiet and connection. The finished 1,536-sf second floor of the original carriage barn is now a light-filled studio, retreat, or entertaining space. Set on 10.8 acres, it offers exceptional privacy just 3 miles from downtown GB--an opportunity as rare as the setting itself. MORE INFO AVAILABLE
