The Main House at Foothill Farm in Lenox

The Main House at Foothill Farm truly is one of a kind. It is a
9,000+ sq. ft., 16 room house nestled at the bottom of a mountain in
an estate setting, yet is 1/3 of a mile to Tanglewood and 4 minutes to
the middle of Lenox. All the rolling land across the road from the
main house and the dramatically renovated barn, once part of Foothill
Farm, is now in a conservation trust. The original 1838 federal farm
house has been incorporated into the historically sensitive redesign
of the whole property in the mid-nineties by architect Tim Techler of
Boston.
The cherry kitchen, dining room, library with fireplace, original
parlor, sun room and guest bedroom with bath are in the fully restored
older part of the house. Entering the front door, a loggia connects
with a powder room and a 2-story foyer, which leads to a music room,
and a 2-story living room with dramatic sky lighting, a tiled
fireplace, and built-in bookcases. Off the living room is a hexagonal
office with three desks with computers and a fireplace. Off the foyer
is a recently built screened-in porch which accommodates two teak
lounges and a dining table for six.

Upstairs is a spectacular master suite including the hexagonal
bedroom with a fireplace, and a huge Amdiga conservatory with an
eight person hot tub, completely tiled by the artist Philip Mayberry.
The dramatic double sink bathroom with steam shower and tub, is also
tiled by Mayberry. There is also a ping-pong room!
The old part of the house also has a lovely master suite, with
dressing room and bath. There are three additional bedrooms and two
more baths upstairs as well.

The house has a four year old 20' X 40' outdoor pool with an
incorporated 8' X 8' hot tub. The beautifully terraced and landscaped
area also includes a changing room. The terrace has a lovely table with
market umbrella, and ample lounge chairs.  There is an extra seating area.  The elaborate gardens lead to a trail up to an intermittant waterfall, which flows down to a stream running alongside the barn.  There is a second screened-in porch with a hammock. There are both gas and charcoal barbeques on the large patio outside the kitchen.
