349 Old Stockbridge Rd (Main Campus)

A rare opportunity to acquire an established 11.90± acre campus in Lenox, Massachusetts, with substantial existing institutional infrastructure and educational use permitted by right within the property's R1A residential zoning district. At its center is Overlee, a distinguished Berkshire estate built in 1903 for Samuel Frothingham and designed by Adams & Warren in an Elizabethan/Jacobean Revival style. The historic mansion has served as the academic and administrative center of the Hillcrest Educational Center, with classrooms, offices, and gathering spaces accommodated within its substantial footprint.

Original architectural details remain throughout, including handsome woodwork, fireplaces, and a striking ballroom. Originally conceived as a private country residence, the house also historically included bedrooms on its upper floors.

The surrounding campus provides institutional infrastructure increasingly difficult to replicate in the Berkshires. Two dormitory buildings contain approximately 24 bedrooms together with shared common spaces, offering ready-made capacity for students, staff, workforce housing, or other residential components associated with a permitted use. A separate multi-level academic/support building provides commercial kitchen and dining facilities, additional classrooms and offices, library, conference, and medical/infirmary spaces.

A substantial gymnasium adds another significant campus amenity, with potential for athletics, fitness, indoor tennis, pickleball, squash, wellness programming, or other recreational uses. Additional support buildings, established parking and internal circulation, public water, multiple electrical services, mixed heating systems, central air in the dormitories and gymnasium, and commercial sprinklering in select buildings further support continued campus operation.

The property is zoned R1A residential, with educational use permitted by right. Any alternative use, subdivision, or redevelopment subject to Town of Lenox zoning and applicable approvals.

Hillcrest Educational Center currently operates on the property under a lease through June 2027 and presently anticipates vacating in February/March 2027, offering a future user a defined period in which to plan for transition and occupancy.

This offering is for the 349 Old Stockbridge Road campus only. The property is also being marketed as part of a separate combined offering with 40 Frothingham Crossing (see MLS #249507).

Offered at $2,295,000.
