HISTORIC JABEZ BOSWORTH INN & TAVERN: AUTHENTIC BERKSHIRE COUNTRY LIVING
Set quietly in the heart of Sandisfield, Massachusetts, the historic Jabez Bosworth House & Inn, circa 1798, offers a genuinely rare opportunity to own an iconic piece of New England history just 14 miles from the vibrant town of Great Barrington.
Originally home to Revolutionary War Captain Jabez Bosworth, this Federal-style home once served as a welcoming stagecoach inn on the Hartford-to-Albany route.
The expansive living room stretching the width of the home, features a wood-burning fireplace, and provides an open palette to make the home your own. A thoughtfully designed country kitchen includes a charming breakfast nook with window seats overlooking the picturesque meadow. Step down into the remarkable great room, featuring original post-and-beam ceilings from former stables and an expansive window framing tranquil views of your private landscape. Although some historical elements have evolved through past renovations, the property continues to reflect its storied heritage, providing an inviting and comfortable setting, and an opportunity to refresh and personalize the home's interior spaces according to your vision.
Sandisfield is known for its quiet beauty, low property taxes, abundant wildlife, and brilliantly clear night skies. This idyllic rural lifestyle comes with the convenience of Great Barrington's renowned dining, shopping, and cultural venues just 20 or so minutes away.
The Jabez Bosworth House & Inn perfectly combines historical allure with comfort and charm in one of the Berkshires' most serene towns. This was once the heart of the town, and this home belonged to the founding family of Sandisfield as well. There was a beautiful Congregational church, set diagonally on the opposite side of the road, just across what was once the village green.
Abundant wildlife, starlit skies, and four distinct seasons create an ever-changing natural backdrop. This rare offering combines historical significance with modern comforts, all set against the pristine beauty of one of the Berkshires' most unspoiled towns. For those seeking authentic rural living, this Sandisfield home represents a unique opportunity to become the next stewards of this 227 year old New England center hall colonial.
