Property Description
A PROPERTY UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE ON THE MARKET! This distinctive 5-bedroom post-and-beam contemporary is set privately on 3.75 wooded acres abutting Amherst Woods and feels like a woodland retreat just minutes from Amherst center. Passive-solar design, soaring beamed spaces, abundant windows and a sunken fireplaced living room bring the surrounding woods into nearly every room. The kitchen, sunroom and french doors invite easy indoor-outdoor living, while the top floor primary suite offers a vaulted beam ceiling, walk-in closet, soaking bath and loft retreat. A finished walk-out lower level adds 3 bedrooms, a full bath and kitchenette, creating an unusually flexible space for guests, work, teenagers or multigenerational living. The current owners have invested thoughtfully in both the care and evolution of the property, including a 2023 roof and skylights, heat pump, minisplits, flooring, garage doors and exterior paint, as well as numerous outdoor improvements, including stone paths, patio, fire pit, a private wooded 1/3-mile walking loop, a large fenced, lighted pet area off the back deck and a hobby-ready shed. A circular drive and peaceful woodland setting complete this truly distinctive, private and versatile Amherst property. A truly one-of-a-kind property!
