Property Description
The heart of the home features a dramatic great hall with soaring spiral stairs that create an impressive architectural centerpiece. Multiple fireplaces throughout provide warmth and ambiance, while the library boasts a wet bar perfect for entertaining. A dedicated game room offers space for leisure and recreation, complemented by a thoughtfully designed guest wing that ensures privacy for visitors.
The lower level houses a completely self-contained one-bedroom apartment, while a separate catering kitchen provides professional-grade culinary facilities. Two single-car garages offer practical storage alongside multiple utility and storage rooms that provide ample space for estate maintenance and organization. A lower level parking area provides additional vehicle accommodation beyond the garages. Above, a large attic provides generous additional storage space.
The mature woodland gardens showcase spectacular rhododendrons and hydrangeas that bloom in seasonal splendor. 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.
