    Overview

    For Sale by Owner – $575,000 A unique opportunity to own approximately 4.12 acres including lakefront on beautiful Plunkett Lake in Hinsdale, Massachusetts. Set among mature trees in the heart of the Berkshires, this property offers a wonderful combination of privacy, acreage, waterfront, and potential. Plunkett Lake is a picturesque approximately 73-acre recreational lake enjoyed for swimming, fishing, kayaking, and recreational boating. Surrounded by wooded scenery, seasonal cottages, and year-round homes, the lake offers a peaceful setting for enjoying the outdoors throughout the warmer months. The property itself includes wooded acreage, open grassy areas, established stone walls, and lakefront where you can enjoy the water and beautiful views. The rustic home is tucked into the natural landscape and features numerous windows, skylights, an elevated deck, wood details, propane heat, a woodstove, sewer, and a buried well. This is an inherited property being sold as-is. The home is in need of significant repairs, renovation, cleanup, and updating, and the seller will not be making repairs prior to closing. It is best suited for a buyer who is prepared to take on a substantial renovation and appreciates the opportunity to own more than four acres together with lakefront. With 4.12 acres, waterfront on Plunkett Lake, mature woods, and plenty of room to create your own vision, this property offers something increasingly difficult to find in the Berkshires. Asking $575,000. For Sale by Owner. Sold as-is. Serious inquiries welcome. Buyers are encouraged to conduct their own inspections and due diligence regarding the home, land, utilities, boundaries, waterfront, and intended use.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What I love about this home is how peaceful it feels. It’s the kind of place where you can sit outside, hear the birds, look through the trees toward the lake, and really feel away from everything. The lakefront is one of my favorite parts of the property. Plunkett Lake is great for swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water. There’s also plenty of land to enjoy, whether you want space for gardens, trails, outdoor projects, or just privacy. The house has a cozy, rustic feel with skylights, lots of natural light, a woodstove, and a deck that looks out into the trees. It definitely needs work, but there’s something special about the setting and the possibilities here. It has the potential to become a really beautiful Berkshire lake home.
