69 ARNOLD ROAD, PELHAM MASSACHUSSETTS 4 BEDROOMS 2 BATHS 2750 sq ft 10 ACRES 550 ft Road Frontage $1,650,000
Atop 10 acres of peaceful forest and rolling meadow, with sweeping views of the distant Berkshire mountains, this rare Usonian-style home is a masterclass in mid-century architectural philosophy.
Built in 1953, in the spirit of the Usonian tradition of Frank Lloyd Wright, this 2,750-square-foot residence is a thoughtful continuation of the ideals that defined Wright’s vision:
Simplicity, harmony with nature, and an understated elegance born from careful proportion and material integrity.
Nestled at the end of a quiet, dead-end road in Pelham, Massachusetts, the property offers privacy and serenity without sacrificing proximity to culture and community.
Both Amherst College and the University of Massachusetts are within an easy 8-minute drive, providing access to world-class lectures, libraries, art museums, and cultural events year-round.
Conservation lands are just across the road, maintained by the Kestrel Land Trust. These trails provide miles of walking and hiking that anchor the home in its natural setting ~ an embodiment of Wright’s conviction that architecture should exist in dialogue with the land.
This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home reflects Usonian principles through its horizontal lines, open floor plan, natural materials, and abundant glass that dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior.
Every window is precisely placed to invite the changing seasons indoors and frame the surrounding woods and distant hills like living artwork.
Perfect for families, artists, scholars,
or those seeking a refined rural retreat, 69 Arnold Road is just a 3-minute drive from Pelham Elementary School and only 8 minutes to Amherst Regional High School, a top-rated “A” school by Niche.
