Surrounded by 200 protected acres near world-class Tanglewood - your own slice of paradise where old-world charm meets mountain-top serenity! In 1916, renowned patron of th e arts Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge commissioned this magnificent 4-bedroom mountain house atop South Mountain in Pittsfield as a gift for her son Albert. This stunning stucco Italianate Berkshire cottage sits gracefully on 7.79 acres of pristine woodland, offering both grandeur and intimate charm.

A serene reflection pool anchored by carefully manicured boxwood gardens creates a peaceful focal point for contemplation and outdoor entertaining. The property enjoys a unique position adjacent to 200 protected acres managed by the South Mountain Concert Society, ensuring perpetual privacy and natural beauty. Following the Coolidge era, the estate became home to Willem Willike and his wife Sally, who cherished its artistic heritage. In 1992, the Miller family acquired this remarkable property, continuing its legacy as a treasured Berkshire retreat. This extraordinary estate represents more than a century of careful stewardship, combining Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge's vision for artistic patronage with the timeless appeal of Berkshire mountain living.
