Overview
Description
Welcome to the Eagle's Nest!
Located in perhaps the most sought after neighborhood in Becket, this five acre lightly wooded parcel is a superb building lot. Nicknamed ''Eagle's Nest'' by its owners, given the nest-like shape of the frontage that leads up to a level building site.
A mature forest canopy rises above an open forest floor, replete with ferns, and partially bounded by stone walls. A pretty brook runs through the rear of the property, offering a peaceful spot to relax nearby.
Privately set in a quiet location, at the end of a well-kept town road with high end homes. To the east, the lot abuts a spectacular early 20th century Gilded Age Berkshire cottage, known as Boulder Grange, which sits on 160 bucolic acres.
Supplements:
The spectacular lodge was built 135+ years ago for Boston banker George A. Armstrong at a cost of $125,000, making it Becket's most significant contribution to the Berkshire Cottages. To the west lies another stunning shingle-style estate home, dating from the 1920s, and on the south side of the street are several other fine homes.
