Fred Snow House in Becket

Come experience the Berkshires in the Fall! Enjoy the antique maples on the front lawn! Or come and cross country ski on a winter weekend! We are minutes from the beautifully maintained Canterbury Farms cross country ski area!  Beautifully restored Colonial historical farmhouse (1790) with almost 2 acres of lawn for playing croquet and hanging out in the sun. There is a small pond (unfenced) for frogs and birds.

Please note this is an old house that needs to be treated with respect. We love our house. Well behaved dogs are welcome.

Large screened in porch with a view of 200 year old maple trees; very spacious dining area; two fireplaces; fully equipped modern kitchen (completely renovated in 2000); new additional studio space with half bath and separate entranceway; more than 3500 square feet of living on 30 acres of mostly woodlands. There's plenty of peace and quiet but also convenience to local shops, shopping malls, nature reserves and mountain trails. October Mountain State Park a few miles away.
