Listing broker remarks

Do the math...a tear down on the lake costs about $500K and then it costs another $500K to rebuild a 1200s/f cottage that the associations restrict to seasonal use. So for $1million+ you can buy a lovely home in Northampton and a second home on the lake but here you get that plus 3 cottages! Enjoy swimming, kayaking, sailing, canoeing, paddle boarding and fishing (no motor boats allowed), and is sited on a public road, NOT part of an association. Only 20 minutes to Northampton and within an hour to many major prep schools, Tanglewood, Jacobs Pillow, and Mass MOCA! The lake also abuts the DAR state forest w/miles of trails and many ski resorts are also within one hour away. This home is on a park-like setting with fantastic water views from every room! These are just some of the many reasons why everyone falls in love with the "Goshen Ocean." The three furnished seasonal cottages can be occupied during the summer months for additional income or shared with family and or friends.— Hampshire Realty Company
