Situated on 19.5 serene acres in the historic hamlet of New Concord, Knollcroft is an exceptional and rare offering of historical significance. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Knollcroft is a showcase of late-Victorian craftsmanship and rural estate planning. Thoughtfully designed for both durability and grace, the home offers approximately 3,325 finished square feet, with 8 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and 5 fireplaces. The home's three floors reflect attention to scale and light. 12-foot ceilings on the first floor, 10-foot ceilings on the second, and 8-foot ceilings on the third create a feeling of grandeur and importance throughout the residence. Original period details abound as well, such as cast iron radiators, stained-glass windows, sliding pocket doors, paneled ceilings and rich woodwork that can be found throughout the house. Conceived as a summer home, Knollcroft also incorporates intelligent passive cooling strategies, with wraparound porches, cross-ventilation through multi-exposure windows, and a flowing layout that responds to the surrounding landscape. The home also retains its historic outbuildings, including a carriage and pump house, each contributing to the authenticity of the property. A spring-fed pond, added after the original construction, now anchors the grounds, offering a tranquil water feature in a landscape of mature trees, mature perennial gardens and rural views in Northern Columbia County.Located in the quiet historic hamlet of New Concord, Knollcroft's location offers both a respite from the bustle of daily life and proximity to modern conveniences. Just a short drive away is the charming village of Chatham, with acclaimed restaurants and local markets. The property is also within easy reach of Hudson's galleries, shopping and antique stores, as well as the Amtrak station. Nearby are also many of the Berkshires' cultural venues and the town of Great Barrington, with yet more shopping and dining options.Rarely does a property of this integrity and provenance come to market. Knollcroft is more than a country house it is a living piece of architectural history, awaiting its next steward.
