The Berkshires Lifestyle

A completely different
pace of life.

"2.5 hours from NYC. A completely different pace of life."

Sun-kissed porches. Heirloom gardens. Stone paths through grounds that have welcomed guests for over two centuries. The property sits minutes from Tanglewood, Kripalu, and the Stockbridge Bowl — close enough to culture, private enough to breathe.

The Story

The birthplace of a Supreme Court Justice.

"There are homes you purchase, and there are homes you inherit as part of a story."

Set in the quiet rhythm of South Lee, the Henry Billings Brown House has welcomed travelers from across the country — artists, families, retreat-goers — many of whom return again and again. Three separate addresses, independent utilities, and a thoughtfully configured parcel give the next owner a rare canvas.
