Description

21 ACRES IN NORTH COUNTY A substantial corner parcel with long frontage on both Scott & Kessler Roads, sited between BNRC conservation land and a portion of Mt Greylock St. Reservation. The land unfolds naturally: meadow at the entrance, mature forest beyond, a substantial brook flowing from protected uplands, and a rising ridge offering elevation & potential views. Zoned R-A (2-acre min; 200' frontage), the parcel provides flexibility for a private hillside home, family compound, or potential future division subject to approvals. A small existing home and well infrastructure sit toward the lower portion of the property, offering a starting point for renovation or replacement. Close to Mt Greylock, Williamstown, MassMoca & Pittsfield. Views + Privacy + 21 Acres only $299k

Supplements: The Development Opportunity The strategic positioning tells a compelling story: 21 acres with substantial Scott Road and Kessler Road frontage in R-A zoning, where subdivision possibilities meet premium location. Just 2 miles from Mt. Greylock's 12,500 acres and trail network, this represents the rare opportunity to build your ideal home on choice elevated sites while retaining subdivision potential for future flexibility or investment recovery. The existing structure occupies the least desirable portion of the property, leaving the best building sitesalong the ridge with views, near the brook, or within the sunny meadowavailable for thoughtful development. The Natural Asset What makes this land exceptional goes beyond its development metrics. A tributary of Town Brook winds through the property, creating the kind of water feature that defines premium recreational land. The established trail system reveals decades of careful stewardshipwide, well-maintained paths that connect open meadows to mature forest. These trails currently provide access throughout the property's diverse terrain, from sunny field edges to deep woodland corridors where centuries-old trees create natural cathedral spaces. The Strategic Location Positioned between existing state forest and BNRC conservation land, this property represents a rare opportunity to influence landscape connectivity in the region. For developers, this protected context ensures long-term value and limited future density nearby. For conservation-minded buyers, it offers the chance to preserve critical habitat linkage and protect established recreational infrastructure that serves the broader trail network. The Cultural Context Beyond the immediate recreational access, this location provides exceptional proximity to the Berkshires' premier cultural destinations. Williamstown's world-renowned Clark Art Institute, Williams College, and prestigious Williamstown Theatre Festival create a sophisticated cultural environment, while MASS MoCA in nearby North Adams offers cutting-edge contemporary art. The region's theatrical scene thrives with venues like Barrington Stage Company and Colonial Theatre in Pittsfield, providing year-round performance opportunities. Vermont skiing is easily accessible for winter recreation, while the college towns of Williamstown and Pittsfield offer dining, shopping, and intellectual stimulation that sophisticated buyers increasingly demand. The Choice The expansive meadow provides immediate building opportunities with potential mountain views, while the forested sections offer privacy and established beauty. The substantial brook creates both recreational value and natural boundaries for thoughtful land planning. Whether envisioning residential development, recreational preservation, or conservation acquisition, this property provides the foundation for multiple futures. Some land waits to be shaped. Other land, like these 21 acres, has already demonstrated its potential through decades of natural development and careful stewardship. The established trails, the healthy brook ecosystem, the balance of field and forestall represent amenities that would cost hundreds of thousands to recreate elsewhere.
