230 Middle Road, Austerlitz, NY 12017

Experience the best of New England’s fall season—and every season that follows—from this charming wood-shingled Cape tucked away on a quiet gravel road at the base of Harvey Mountain, the highest point in the county. Surrounded by more than 4,000 acres of state forest, this is a rare opportunity to live where outdoor recreation begins right at your driveway, with access to approximately 30 miles of trails for hiking, mountain biking, hunting, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and exploring. Set on two private acres, the three-bedroom home offers a warm and comfortable retreat after a day outdoors. The updated kitchen opens naturally into the dining room. The spacious living room includes a brick fireplace, built-in shelving and French doors leading to a bright, heated four-season sunroom with vaulted ceiling and expansive windows overlooking the property. From the sunroom, glass doors open to a small porch and the backyard. Outside, enjoy crisp fall evenings around the firepit, gather on the stone patio, or rinse off after an adventure in the unique outdoor shower created from a converted clawfoot tub. The setting offers an ideal combination of privacy, recreation and easy access to the surrounding Berkshires and Hudson Valley. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a full bath. The generous primary bedroom has double closets, while additional finished space adjoining another bedroom provides flexibility for an office, studio, playroom or creative space. The finished basement adds even more living and recreation space, including a cozy den, exercise area, laundry with utility sink and separate storage room. A two-car garage opens directly into the kitchen, with a convenient first-floor half bath. EV and RV chargers add modern convenience. With hunting, fishing, hiking and outdoor recreation literally outside your door, the location is hard to duplicate. Beebe and Harvey Mountain State Forests provide thousands of acres to explore, while nearby ski areas, Tanglewood, Berkshire cultural attractions and the restaurants, shops and movie theater of Chatham are all within easy reach. Hudson and Amtrak are also a short drive away. Come experience the magic of fall in the Berkshires—when the forests turn brilliant, the trails are calling, and this home becomes the perfect four-season basecamp for everything the region has to offer.
