A solar panel system complements the property's design and energy-conscious living. The surrounding landscape is equally captivating, highlighted by three owner-curated ponds ideal for fishing, swimming, canoeing, or simply relaxing beside the water. Direct access to the Catamount Trail, Cook Brook, and bordering State Forest provide opportunities for year-round exploration and outdoor enjoyment. Berry Hill Farm is more than a home; It's a destination where exceptional craftsmanship and an extraordinary landscape create an ideal lifestyle located near world-class skiing, charming villages, dining, & local amenities.
