This
turn of
the
century
Washington
Massachusetts historic
estate
was
built in
1897
atop
Washington
Mountain
in the
heart of
the
Berkshire
Hills of
Western
Massachusetts.
Originally
built by
George
F.
Crane, a
wealthy
New York
attorney,
as a
replica
of a
grand
estate
once
visited
in
England,
the
estate
was used
as a
summer
and
vacation
home for
the
Cranes’.
During
this
time it
was home
to
luxurious
entertaining
and some
of the
finest
thoroughbred
horses
in
Berkshire
County.
Eventually
converted
into a
family
vacation
center
by
combining
the
estate
with the
adjoining
summer
camp,
the
property
is
currently
used as
a year
round
resort
and
conference
center,
hosting
weddings,
special
events,
cross-country
skiing
and
other
outdoor
activities.
There
are many
unique
facilities
on the
property
including
a large
English
country
manor
house
with a
classical
dining
room,
beautiful
front
porch,
and
eight
elegant
guest
rooms.
In
addition
to the
main
house
there
are two
cottages
with 14
rooms,
each
with a
private
bath,
for a
total of
twenty
two
guest
rooms.
The
carriage
barn
with its
original
hand
hewn
beams,
wood
plank
floors,
stone
fireplace,
and a
reception
lobby is
used for
wedding
receptions,
conferences,
and
special
events.
This
place
offers a
lot in
terms of
recreation,
especially
as it's
situated
atop a
mountain,
giving
it a
secluded,
yet
premier
Washington
Massachusetts mountain
resort
possibility.
There is
also a
secluded
campground
with
rustic
cabins,
swimming
pool,
tennis
courts,
basketball
hoops
and
picnic
area.
This
premier
location
offers
endless
possibilities
with
over a
mile of
road
frontage,
only
minutes
to the
Appalachian
Trail, 2
½ hours
to
Boston,
and 3 ½
hours to
NYC.
Would
make a
great
bed and
breakfast
inn as
it sits
comfortably
on this
historic
property,
which
could
easily
make any
business
flourish.
