About 20 years ago, a noted architect, divided the property of this entire area. At that time, he saved the best 2 lots for himself. His plan was to build his dream house. This is the first time that the property is available to the public.
The property consists of two lots, 4½ acres each and an entrance circle, total approximately 10 acres.
The land is off of Wheatleigh Drive. Wheatleigh Drive is a private dirt country road. At the end of the road is the private entrance to Tanglewood. Also, Lenox is within walking distance. All of the multimillion dollar homes on Wheatleigh Drive are directly off the road. They face east. Since all have wetland along Lilly Pond they must be set way back away from the pond. Also, depending on the time of the year, you can see your neighbor’s home.
This property is on the South side of Lilly Pond with almost no wetland. The new home or homes will face north. All you will see is the entire length of the pond and the hills in the background. You will not see any of the other homes. It is like you are the only home on Lilly Pond. The property also includes deeded Rights to Stockbridge Bowl, on the private White Pines Beach.
The property has two septic systems already installed. You could build a large house or perhaps a house and a guest house. There is a well with unlimited water, for a pool and tennis court. You can build a dock to go boating on Lilly Pond.
You enter the property off of Wheatleigh Drive. You go around your circle, now being used for a private organic garden and private children’s playground. You cross Lilly Brook, which runs the entire length of one side, breathtaking and there are fish in the brook. Your driveway will run along Lilly Brook. Once into the property, you will proceed to your home or homes sites. It is a gently sloping area that will afford magnificent views of the pond, hills, etc. There are hundred year old trees on the property. Truly a private compound!!! |
