The Barnes Homestead: A Tapestry of History and Modern Elegance. The Barnes Homestead, in its current iteration of Rock and Root Farm, beckons with the allure of a bygone era. This 1760 Federal Style post and beam residence stands as a proud testament to early American architecture and the legacy of one of Lanesboro's first colonial settlers, Joseph Barnes Sr. With a lineage of just five owners, this home has been meticulously renovated to preserve its historical integrity while integrating modern luxuries. The interior boasts soaring cathedral ceilings and a commanding floor-to-ceiling fireplace with a new wood stove, that serves as the centerpiece of the living space. The open concept kitchen, a modern chef's dream, is thoughtfully designed to complement the home's antique charm. Accommodating family and guests, the residence features four bedrooms and two and one-half updated baths, ensuring comfort and privacy. The estate spans over eighteen acres of pastoral beauty complete with an additional building lot, two barns, and a 14x50 hoop house. The "Town Brook" also runs through and abuts the property. The home is crowned with a new ProVia Metal Shake Roof, restored chimneys, a new boiler, and a wood stove, marrying historical aesthetics with contemporary comforts. Step outside onto the stone patio, surrounded by enchanting perennial gardens overlooking vast vegetable plots. Bask in the tranquility of serene relaxation, or host grand events against the backdrop of sweeping bucolic mountain vistas that reach towards the Taconic Range. Adventure awaits at your doorstep as the trails of Mt. Greylock offer cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, hiking, and the slopes of Jiminy Peak a mere 5-minute drive. Rock and Root Farm is not merely a residence, it is a cherished heirloom situated in the cultural embrace of the Berkshires. Seize the rare opportunity to become the next steward of The Barnes Homestead, where the roots of history and the comforts of modern living intertwine.
