Since 1964, this has been called home. It is time to pass it on to the next family to love and cherish this spot. Less than a mile from Main Street, but a super country location. Surrounded by large parcels and a short walk to Proctor Piper State Forest where you will find trails to hike and bike. The 1850's Federal sits above the road surrounded by Mother Nature at her best. A small pond with a gazebo, rolling lawns, fruit trees, and perennials that will be in bloom all summer...daffodils, lilies, rhodys and more. A large front porch allows you to sit and take it all in. Stepping inside, you will feel right at home. The living room has a brick hearth with a woodstove and a large bay window to bring the outside in. The kitchen has wood cabinets and a couple of built-ins for your collectables. There is a sunroom/bonus room with natural wood and lots of windows. A very large laundry room and 3/4 bath on the first floor as well. Either the bonus room or the laundry room could become a third bedroom if so desired. Upstairs is a full bath and two bedrooms plus a small sitting/office area. The house is sound and has been loved for generations. A few cosmetics will make it good to go for the next 50 years. Outside there is a small garden shed, and an oversized two car garage. Fiber optic internet. Cavendish is a wonderful small town. Skiing at Okemo, golf in Ludlow, and several lakes for fishing and boating nearby. A wonderful spot that is ready for you!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
