property:
A PRIVATE MID-CENTURY MODERN SANCTUARY with a preserved butterfly
inspired house on 42 acres in coveted Monterey, just steps from a
magical two-acre wildlife pond. A long drive leads past the tennis
court to a 1958 classic mid-Century home designed by Peter Floyd of Geometrix, a Cambridge firm, and a
collaborator of Buckminster Fuller and architect of the Epcot Center
geosphere in Orlando. It is in mint condition and nestled on a verdant
peninsula surrounded by water and woodlands. From the living room
window wall, bask in a panorama of water, sky, flora and fauna, in a
natural paradise, while a fire roars in the huge masonry fireplace box.
Original General Electric metal kitchen cabinets have been restored and original wood
built-ins are in every room. The master suite opens to the outdoors and
two guest rooms have their own bath off the office craft room. A mud
room, laundry and utility area connect to a two-car garage. All
elements of true International Style are incorporated into the
structure, such as clerestory windows, shed roofs, lots of plate glass,
and minimal fuss.
The sybaritic property abuts Beartown State Forest and Berkshire Natural Resources trust lands. The professional-sized tennis court is made of artificial grass turf, and specimen trees and perennial gardens wrap the house. An old cabin, original to the site and facing the pond, could be renovated into a studio or guest house.
The location is extraordinary and the purity of the dwelling is uncompromised. Built for his family by famous balladeer, Richard Dyer-Bennet. Just minutes to both Great Barrington and Stockbridge.
