A Distinctive Contemporary Retreat Surrounded by Nature in Leverett, MA

Welcome to 247 Montague Road in Leverett, Massachusetts, a contemporary home nestled comfortably into nature. Set on 4.46 wooded acres, this distinctive home combines a unique multi-level design with treetop views, woodland paths, established gardens, and a peaceful sense of privacy. With 2,856 square feet of living space, three bedrooms, and two and a half baths, the property offers a flexible layout with stunning views for everyday living, working from home, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Pioneer Valley.

A Home Designed Around the Landscape

Built in 1989, the home takes full advantage of its wooded setting. The third floor houses the living, dining, and kitchen spaces, where large windows bring the surrounding treetops and distant mountain peaks directly into view. The result is a distinctive treehouse-like atmosphere that gives the living and dining areas an especially strong connection to the landscape.

Cathedral ceilings, skylights, hardwood floors, and an open floor plan give the upper level a bright and spacious feel. The living room features a fireplace and access to a deck, while the adjacent dining area provides an inviting setting for meals and gatherings. In the kitchen, stone or granite-style countertops, a pantry, gas range, and exterior access add both function and convenience.

Perhaps the home's most memorable feature is the wooden catwalk extending from the kitchen toward the surrounding woods. From there, paths lead into the private acreage, making the landscape feel like a natural extension of the home.

Flexible Space for Living and Working

The middle level provides a comfortable private retreat, with a primary suite featuring a walk-in closet and full bath with both a tub and shower. Two additional bedrooms and a renovated full bath with laundry provide plenty of flexibility for family, guests, or a home office.

The first floor expands the possibilities even further. A separate side entrance opens into a studio/office area, while an additional large room could serve as a guest room, library, exercise space, creative studio, or whatever best fits your needs. The walk-out lower level offers still more potential.

Central heat and air conditioning provide year-round comfort, while fiber-optic internet availability makes the property well suited to today's work-from-home lifestyle.

Gardens, Greenhouse & Woodland Paths

Outside, the property is just as distinctive as the house itself. Established perennial gardens, woodland paths, a functional greenhouse, storage shed, deck, and patio create a setting that invites time outdoors.

With approximately 549 feet of street frontage and more than four acres of land, the property offers a rare combination of privacy and usable outdoor space. The sloping lot and scenic views add to its character, while the wooded acreage creates a peaceful backdrop throughout the seasons.

Recent improvements include a brand-new roof, new well pump, and new septic tank, providing important updates for the next owner.
