Listing broker remarks

Tucked away in a private riverfront setting, in the Tantasqua school district, this striking contemporary home is a rare nature lover’s retreat set on 12 acres, bordered by wide open fields and peaceful woodland. A metal-roofed gazebo at the river’s edge offers a serene spot to relax and unwind. Inside, soaring ceilings, a dramatic living room fireplace, sunroom, and a spiral staircase create modern architectural appeal. A flexible bonus room offers potential for a first-floor bedroom. The sleek, contemporary kitchen opens to the main living space, ideal for entertaining. The primary suite features its own fireplace, and mini-splits provide efficient heating and cooling. The finished lower level includes open living space, a 6-person hot tub, and walk-out access to a large deck overlooking the private wood-line. With a few finishing touches, this property offers exceptional potential to become a one-of-a-kind riverfront sanctuary blending privacy, modern design, and natural beauty.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Western MA
