60 West Hawley Road Hawley Hawley MA 01339 | MLS #73585438

What was once the homestead of Chickley Alp Farm offers an extraordinary combination of expansive land, quality craftsmanship, and timeless character in a picturesque setting with the river running through it. Set on 80 acres in the scenic hills of Hawley, just a few miles from Berkshire East Mountain Resort, this thoroughly transformed Contemporary Farmhouse is surrounded by pasture, woods, and trails, with several hundred adjoining acres being preserved for conservation. The acreage extends to both sides of the road, with the Chickley River winding through it. The circa-1780 farmhouse is in impeccable condition inside and out, extensively renovated with contemporary flair, updated systems, and quality craftsmanship throughout. Cathedral ceilings, skylights, maple, hickory, and Brazilian pecan hardwood floors, and abundant natural light accent the original hand-hewn American chestnut post-and-beam framing, creating a warm, open interior. The kitchen features quartz countertops and a custom stone sink and opens to the dining area with a cathedral ceiling and skylight, leading to the expansive covered post-and-beam porch overlooking the grounds, pasture, and woods. The living room features a cathedral ceiling, fireplace, and loft above. The grounds include 2 pergolas, an enclosed garden, and fruit trees, along with an impressive three-story barn that has been extensively updated and preserved while retaining its original American chestnut post-and-beam framing and slate roof. A two-story, oversized three-car garage with a 2-room office and workshop provides additional space and versatility, with a fully open second floor and a fireplace, while the former sugar house remains from the property’s maple-sugaring days. The Chickley River is an integral part of the property, offering a wonderful place to relax along the bank, gather around the fire pit, or cool off with a refreshing dip. Follow the trails winding through the woods for a hike or horseback ride, or head out on your ATV or snowmobile—all right on your own land. Whether envisioned as a country retreat, homestead, or four-season recreational property, this is a special opportunity to enjoy 80 acres of fields, forest, river, and mountain terrain with an impeccably maintained home and exceptional outbuildings, just minutes from some of the area’s best outdoor recreation.
