About 48 & 56 Perkins Lane

At the quiet end of a town maintained gravel road, tucked away in a protected setting, lies a truly one-of-a-kind 313 acre property offering sweeping southern and southeastern views -- on a clear day, even the Boston skyline shimmers in the distance! The property has been in the same family for generations as a cherished family retreat. A 1936 Cape looks out over field and treetops to the expansive view. The living and dining room stretch across the front of the house, designed to frame the view and capture warm southern light. It offers three bedrooms and two baths, with additional space in the ell, which has been used as a studio apartment. In 2011, a beautifully designed, passive solar, energy efficient residence was built. It's perfect for guests or extended family! Both homes are equipped with automatic standby generators and share a well and septic system. There's ample storage in outbuildings plus storage for six vehicles. The land itself is a treasure. With all but 3.6 acres under conservation easement, one is surrounded by thousands of protected acres. The property includes part of the Temple Mountain ridge, including its highest point, Holt Peak. The historic Wapack Trail runs along the ridge, part of one of the Northeast's oldest interstate hiking routes.
