Stripped down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, the exterior boasts completely new sheathing, classic wood clapboards, and all new Anderson windows. Step through the bespoke mahogany front door into a newly created entry hall that welcomes you with warmth and elegance. The interior has been artfully reimagined for modern living while fiercely protecting its heritage. Original doors, pocket doors, and historic fireplace mantels were retained, and layers of old flooring were stripped away to reveal breathtaking, original wood floors throughout. The living room features a cozy propane fireplace and custom bookcases, flowing into a brilliantly reconfigured kitchen. Featuring custom cabinetry, new appliances, exquisite Taj Mahal Brazilian quartzite countertops, serving as a stunning centerpiece for entertaining. The meticulous attention to detail continues into the private spaces of this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home. It features two beautifully renovated bathrooms, plus a newly added, luxurious primary en suite bathroom with Calacatta marble, illuminated by skylights and a custom transom window.

Lush perennial gardens are framed by new split rail fencing and custom fieldstone walkways making a space where you want to linger on summer mornings. A rebuilt pergola and a two level back deck offer endless options for outdoor dining with guests.

An adjacent old barn was completely rebuilt into a secure, cement floored garage with a custom wood overhead door, brilliantly preserving the antique stonewalls and original timber beams. What truly sets this property apart are the invisible, structural upgrades that ensure decades of worry-free living.

High on a hilltop in the Southern Berkshires stands East Hill Farm. 227 cultivated acres encompassing pristine forest, a spring-fed pond, a striking barn, verdant pastures, formal and vegetable gardens, a pool, and a tennis court. The centerpiece: a 1798 Georgian home, 5,000 SF with 5 bedrooms. Ready for private living, entertaining, horses, farming, a bespoke destination, or simply: tranquility. Includes a reimagined 6,000+ SF guest house, once an Arabian horse barn. 2½ hours to both NYC & Boston, yet a world apart. East Hill Farm offers what money rarely can buy: authenticity at scale. A 227 year-old house expanded, refined for 21st century life. Land, privacy, history, and a place of peace, which has endured through every chapter of American history. The next chapter begins with you. Reach out! Where The World Falls Away--227 acres. 227 years. One extraordinary hilltop farm. Drive up East Hill Road through Southfield village, past the store, climbing toward the top of Woodruff Mountain. The dirt road is well-maintained and lightly traveled. Sugar maples line your approach--massive, ancient trees that have watched over this land since before the house was built. Behind them, set back from the road, stands the kind of barn that makes photographers stop their cars. Three and a half stories of hand-hewn timber, painted proper New England red, moved here piece by piece from Amherst, Massachusetts, because the sellers understood that a farm needs a real barn. Not a replica. The real thing. The House Stops Your Heart--Federal period, 1798, when John Adams was president. This wasn't just another farmhouse. When Thomas Shepard commissioned John Collar to build this, he was making a statement. 8 rooms. 5 fireplaces. Ceilings higher than any farmer needed. Those distinctive 12-over-12 windows with hand-blown glass that turns the morning light liquid. A facade with sidelight windows and dentil cornice that announced to every traveler: here lives a person of substance. Walk through that front door and the wide center hall opens before you. Original wide-plank floors--King's boards, they called them, because timber this wide was supposed to be reserved for the Royal Navy's masts. Twin parlors flank the entrance, flooded with southern light. To your left, the original keeping room, now the dining room, where that massive cooking fireplace with its beehive oven still works perfectly after 227 years. The draft in these fireplaces is extraordinary. The woodwork throughout is original or crafted by hand precisely to match. Chair rails, wainscoting, built-in china cabinets with their original hardware. Those small cupboards tucked around the chimneys--John Collar's signature touch. Five Families in 227 Years--Jesse Hartwell married Thomas Shepard's niece and turned the house into a meeting place for progressive thinkers, and through the 19th century, the Hartwell family made this their home. Then came the Arabian horse breeders in the 1930s who added the newer rear ell and built what's now the guest house. The current sellers bought the house and five acres in 1969, then spent the next five decades not just restoring but thoughtfully expanding it. You'll be only the fifth resident to call East Hill Farm home--and despite its National Register status, free to shape its future as you see fit. That newer section? Radiant heat underfoot, a proper mudroom with laundry, a family room or perfect home office with its own kitchen, and an elevator up to a sun-filled library with built-in shelves and an ensuite bedroom and bath. A luminous sunroom framing year-round sunsets, with sweeping views across the formal gardens, horse pastures, and the shimmering pond below. Upstairs in the original part of the house, an additional four bedrooms, each with its own character. The canopy bedroom with its blue and white toile--that's not staging, that's how the family lives. Wide hallways, deep closets, and in that large upstairs hall above the front door, a perfect spot to sit and read while gazing out the neoclassical window over your barn, fields and forest, mountains in the distance. 5 full and 1 half baths in all--some original 1930s with their good bones, others from the 1980s restoration. The kitchen? Also 1980s, completely functional with good counter space, and a working wood-fired stove alongside modern appliances. Morning light streams in from the east, and sunset views are to the west, opening onto fieldstone patios on either side. Everything works: oil heat from a Viessman German boiler, cedar shake roof (much replaced in 2021), private well water so good they've bottled it up for guests, backup generator, fiber internet. The bones are so good and the mechanicals so solid that you can move in tomorrow or update to your taste--the house won't fight you either way. 227 Acres: A Complete World--East Hill Farm is more than the sum of its parts. From the original five-acre homestead, the current owners lovingly reunited land to create the breathtaking 227-acre estate it is today. 154 acres stretching across the north side of East Hill Road, and 73 tranquil acres to the south. To the north, a substantial portion of the property borders Sandisfield State Forest and thousands of acres of protected land. To the south, you have a section along Hotchkiss Road that is part of the New Marlborough Land Trust. Each acre is part of a dream fulfilled, a landscape that invites endless exploration and inspiration. Walk west from the kitchen patio between the formal gardens. Brick paths wind through perennial beds: heritage roses, peonies, iris. A long row of prolific blueberry bushes. In the vegetable garden, established asparagus and rhubarb come back stronger every year. Passing that perfect garden shed with its slate roof, as mist rises off the pond, becomes part of your morning coffee stroll. The pond--almost four acres, brook-fed, crystal clear. The family created it, and for decades it's been their private swimming hole, sailing spot, fishing paradise. Circle the pond and you'll find the big fishing rock on the west side, the perfect swimming spot on the east. Or head into the forest. Miles of trails, including a loop road that connects to Sandisfield State Forest. In spring, Lee Brook, the largest of several on the farm, roars with snowmelt. Up where the brook crosses the trail, it forms a waterfall after a hard rain. These are the headwaters of the Whiting River, and you own it. This isn't just acreage - it's a complete ecosystem. Meadows, forests, water, gardens, pastures, each flowing naturally into the next. Built for Whatever You Dream--That magnificent barn across the country road--3,550 SF on a full stone foundation, electricity, running water, lower level for equipment, main floor with stalls and work rooms, massive hay loft. Four pastures with water sources, run-in barns with power and water, and additional smaller outbuildings. The infrastructure is thoughtfully designed, whether your dreams include horses, alpacas, heritage sheep, a flourishing market garden, an orchard, festive celebrations, a tranquil retreat center, or simply savoring the seasons as they change across your land. The guest house tells its own story. Built as stables for those 1930s Arabians, it's now 6,668 SF divided into four independent residences, with cathedral ceilings and fireplaces. Some would use this for multi-generational living. Others might see a writers' or artists' retreat, a wedding venue, or wellness center. The bones are spectacular--soaring spaces and abundant light. Morning swims in the sparkling gunite pool with its serene fieldstone waterfall. Afternoons spent on the newly resurfaced tennis court. Evenings wandering down to the pond, soaking in the tranquility. Or embrace the rhythm of nature: January mornings breaking ice on water troughs, February afternoons tapping maples for syrup, and March evenings tending seedlings in the greenhouse, dreaming of summer tomatoes. The possibilities are manifold; life on East Hill Farm is generous and abundant. History You Can Touch--Walk these 227 acres and feel it: the weight of continuity. Five families in 227 years. Thomas Shepard, who helped found New Marlborough. The Hartwells, who held it for a century. Arabian horse breeders who landed their plane in the pasture. The current family, who pieced the scattered acres back together, whose daughters gathered eggs, boiled sap into syrup, grew the gardens that still bloom today. Some things do endure. That which matters can be preserved. In a disposable world, permanence is possible. The next chapter begins with you. The Berkshire Life, Perfected--Twenty minutes to Great Barrington's restaurants and shops. Less than ten to the Southfield Store. Tanglewood for summer concerts, Jacob's Pillow for dance, Butternut for winter skiing. Bradley Airport an hour away, Manhattan and Boston each two and a half hours. But honestly? Once you're here, leaving becomes the hard part. Mornings at East Hill Farm start with the mourning doves' lullaby that sounds like memory itself. The Sandhill Cranes return each spring to the lower pastures, their distinctive call announcing another season. Summer evenings, you'll sit on the west porch watching the sunset over your pond while fireflies rise from the meadows, and emerge from the woods. Winter nights, you'll build fires in those perfect fireplaces and be grateful they built that beehive oven so large. Everything here has been cared for with a deep knowledge of history and respect for nature and tradition. The heritage roses still bloom. The stone walls still stand true. The forest trails lead to hidden waterfalls and forgotten cellar holes. The gardens produce abundance. The pastures are ready to graze horses. Or you could simply walk your 227 acres knowing that in a world of constant change, you've found something real, something lasting, something irreplaceable. At $5.8 million, East Hill Farm offers what money rarely can buy: authenticity at scale. A genuine 18th-century house that works for 21st-century life. Land enough that you own your own hilltop. Buildings that tell the story of America. Privacy without isolation. History without the museum ropes. And beyond price, a place of profound peace that has endured through every chapter of American history, a hilltop sanctuary. Wake each morning in that otherworldly, untouchable tranquility that settles over the hilltop, where the rest of the world falls away, to watch the sun set where generations have watched it set, to be part of something larger than yourself, while making it entirely your own. 227 acres. 227 years. Some things are meant to be. Come see.

The Rev. Edmund Sears grew up on a farm down the road in Sandisfield. He carried its sky with him. That sky gave us ''It Came Upon a Midnight Clear.'' Simon Winchester arrived 150 years later, trained his telescope on Saturn, and declared the stars were like ''diamonds on velvet.'' Eight books written here, a million words at least. c.1760 and 1840. 4 bedrooms, 3 baths. Library, keeping room with original crane fireplace, Aga kitchen, vaulted living room, screened-in porch. A c.1812 granary rebuilt as a writing studio with loft and full bath. Stone walls, orchard, meadow, vernal stream. 50 acres. 3/4 mile road frontage. Borders protected land. A serious Berkshire country property with a sky that still delivers. Offers in excess of $2,250,000 considered. The Rev. Edmund Sears grew up on a farm just down the road in Sandisfield, working it with his hands through the Berkshire seasons, a poem always singing through his head. He left at twenty-one for Union College in Schenectady, then Harvard Divinity School, then answered the call to carry the gospel to the frontier settlements of Ohio, where the forests were still being cleared, the winters were brutal, and the nearest town was days away by horse. He was a young man from a quiet hillside in the Southern Berkshires doing serious work at the raw edge of the known world. But Sandisfield had been that world not eighty years before, when James Ayrault built the first house on this very farm. In 1760 this hillside was the frontier, as wild and remote as anything Sears would find in Ohio. He came back east eventually. Settled in Wayland, Massachusetts, as a Unitarian minister. And in 1849 he wrote a carol that has been sung every Christmas since. The sky it describes, full of stars and angels near the earth, was the sky of this corner of the Southern Berkshires, where the air is clean and the nights are dark and the hills rise toward heaven in a way that stays with you long after you have gone. That remove is not historical. It is still here. Sandisfield sits two and a half hours from New York, two from Boston, and feels like neither. In the winter of 2001, nearly 150 years later, shortly after his own purchase of the property, Simon Winchester stepped outside at three in the morning and pointed his telescope at Saturn. The air was bitter cold. The sky was moonless, and the stars looked, he said, like diamonds on velvet. He came in only when the dawn chorus was beginning. He found out only later that morning the intimate connection: five years after writing that carol, Edmund Sears's own brother, Joshua, had lived on this very farm. Winchester had already written more than 20 books, many of them bestsellers. Over the next quarter century at Barnhill Farm he would go on to write eight more (soon to be nine). All were written in 'his study' he had built specifically fit for purpose: a c.1812 granary he found in serious disrepair, restored and re-erected here in 2006. The Property and the Setting Barnhill Farm sits on approximately 60 acres along Silverbrook Road, a lightly traveled, town-maintained road in Sandisfield. 3/4 of a mile of the property's own frontage runs alongside it. Stone walls border the drive. The sign at the road reads Barnhill Farm. Below it, in smaller letters: The Sears-Hawley House. Two Birthdays The original structure on this land was built around 1760 by James Ayrault, whose family had acquired this lot in Sandisfield's first land division. In 1840 a new addition was built in the Greek Revival style. The entire property was restored with care and precision in 1985 by an old-house specialist, who set aside every salvageable original element, recreated missing plaster and molding by hand, refitted the foundation with quarried stone. Not a house made to look old. An old house brought back to itself. Winchester purchased Barnhill Farm in 2001, continuing the project of lovingly updating an old house. In 2006 he renovated the original early colonial southern end of the home, transforming it from primarily being a screened-in porch: opening the interior, vaulting the ceiling to expose the timber beams, rebuilding the original galley kitchen behind the keeping room fireplace with custom cabinetry and the Aga set against the chimney, adding a mudroom entry from the driveway, and at the far end of the living space, building a dual-sided wood-burning fireplace with a new screened-in porch on its other face. Coming In Three doors face the driveway. The formal front door of the 1840 house opens into a proper entry hall. To the right, the Morning Room: a fireplace, Farrow & Ball Pink Ground on the walls. Further along, the library: dark aubergine walls, wood stove, shelves from floor to ceiling, the particular stillness of a room made entirely for books and the thinking they produce. At the end of the hall, a small bedroom, honestly more useful as a very good study. Across the hall is the keeping room, the informal heart of the 1760 house. A large fireplace anchors the space, now fitted with a wood stove. In the afternoon, light falls across the wide plank floors picking up the warmth in the old wood the way only afternoon light in a house this age manages to do. On winter mornings, breakfast happens here bathed in early light, and this is where people end up after dinner. Off to the north: a full bath with laundry, a pantry, and the larger of the two ground floor bedrooms, its door set into the corner of the west wall. Upstairs Stairs in the entry hall take you to a second floor landing with a primary bedroom, a guest room, dressing room-closet, and a full bath, with views over the orchard, quiet in the way that an upstairs room in an old house on a country road knows how to be quiet. A narrow staircase continues to a fully finished third floor attic. The Kitchen The Aga, cream and solid, is undoubtedly the heart of this bespoke kitchen. Custom cabinetry, built to the character of the house rather than imposed upon it, lines the walls. A peninsula of warm wood reaches out from the old kitchen into the newer open space beyond, bridging two centuries of cooking in a single easy gesture, and draws you into the vaulted living room. Winchester says the house is superbly designed for light, and he is right: in winter the sun rises directly into this kitchen and tracks the full length of the room through the day. Timber beams span the vaulted ceiling above wide plank floors. The living space extends toward the far end, where the dual-sided fireplace stands between the room and the screened-in porch, doing what a well-placed fireplace does: making both sides of itself worth being on. The Screened-In Porch This room is used in every season. In winter, glazed panels close off the weather and the sun warms it like a greenhouse. Breakfast out here, and afternoon tea, and wine in the evening when the fireplace is lit. Come late spring, some of the panels give way to screens and the room opens to the meadow and the sky. A long table for dinner. The telescope positioned to track the planets on their path across the southern sky. No meaningful light pollution reaches Barnhill Farm. The Granary The granary stands at the edge of the orchard, reached along a path through the perennial gardens. The apple trees spread west from it into the open meadow. It sits at exactly the right remove from the house: present but apart, close enough to walk to in the morning with your coffee, far enough removed from domestic routines to allow for contemplation and creation. Perfectly suited for guest accommodations as well. Winchester found it near Cambridge, New York: a c.1812 structure in serious disrepair. He had it carefully dismantled, restored and re-erected here in 2006. What stands today is a freestanding structure with intricate timber framing fully visible, books lining every wall, a working research library on the main level, and a sleeping loft above. A full bath is fitted at one end. Winchester steps out onto the studio stoop on mornings and breathes the air. Apple blossoms in May. Apple pressing parties in October. Winchester is taking the books and art with him. Everything else remains. The Art Studio, the Barn, and the Outbuildings The main barn is a weathered timber-frame structure whose interior Setsuko Winchester, a former journalist turned artist and historian, fitted with a chandelier from their Chelsea apartment and a mezzanine level. The design borrowed from a nearby barn she admired. An art studio and woodshop occupy the lower level. All windows in the main house were replaced with insulated units designed to match the character of the old house, and solar panels on the barn's south-facing roof cover electrical costs without disturbing the 19th century feel. The red equipment barn nearby provides an EV charging outlet and stands closer to the road. The Land The property moves from one outdoor space to the next, and no two are alike. Close to the house, a stone patio with a fire pit. Beyond it, a raised bed garden, and frog pond give you other spots to sit and contemplate, quietly listen to birdsong in the morning, or hear the peepers start at dusk. The orchard produces cider apples, and an abundance of peaches. Wild blueberry bushes run along the treeline where the old growth apple trees give way to forest. Setsuko has never used a pesticide or artificially fertilized the plants, relying instead on the compost produced on the property and finding the right spot for each varietal. In the pine grove beyond the meadow, the light changes completely. Pine needles carpet the ground. Adirondack chairs and a hammock have lived in here for years. Even in July it is cool and unhurried, the kind of place where time moves differently. A vernal stream meanders through the woodland beyond, heard before it is seen. The property borders protected land. 50' into the woods and the house is completely gone. The canopy closes. It is quiet in a way that is easier to feel than to explain. What This Is Edmund Hamilton Sears grew up down the road and never forgot the night-time sky which came upon a midnight clear. Simon Winchester found it, wrote his books and stayed 25 years. Setsuko Winchester arrived to continue work on the property while carefully maintaining its early American character. She shaped the land, the barn, the gardens, into what they are today. The house has been restored with skill and lived in with intelligence. The granary is intact. The orchard blooms every May. The sky has not changed. Come and see what that feels like.

Approximately 30 acres of farmland is organic. Drive-bys are welcomed, but please do not pull in the driveway without a confirmed appointment.
