More than a luxury home, this is a collection of unforgettable experiences. Wander through your private garden sanctuary, relax in the glass conservatory, curl up in the custom-built library with 1,000+ books, unwind in the spa-inspired primary suite with its private jacuzzi, or gather for movie nights with the 100-inch projector, pool table, and pinball. Designed for families, friends, executive retreats, celebrations, and memorable getaways, every space inspires connection! The heart of the home is a spacious chef’s kitchen, perfect for everything from relaxed breakfasts to celebratory dinners, with seating for 12 around the dining table. Multiple living areas, each with its own fireplace, invite your group to spread out while still feeling together.
Enjoy movie nights in the dedicated media room with a 100-inch projector, challenge each other to pool and pinball, stay active in the fitness room with Peloton and Tonal, or find a quiet moment in the library or tranquil plant conservatory. The primary suite offers a private jacuzzi, and a dedicated executive workspace makes the home equally suited for corporate off-sites and remote work.
Step outside to over an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds with peaceful walking paths inspired by Japanese garden design. Just across the street, the reservoir and local trails create the feeling of being deep in the forest, yet you’re only 30 minutes from downtown Boston. Hopkinton State Park, charming downtown Southborough, and excellent restaurants are all just minutes away.
Sleeping arrangements: 4 bedrooms (2 king, 1 queen, 1 bunk room with 8 spots available), floor beds plus sofa beds across three living areas, comfortably accommodating 14 guests but can fit 16 or more.

Why they chose this property
We fell in love with how peaceful it feels while still being incredibly convenient. Surrounded by mature trees, local trails, and a reservoir just across the street, it feels like you’ve escaped to the forest, yet downtown Boston is only about 30 minutes away. Morning walks, coffee in the conservatory, and evenings surrounded by nature quickly become part of your routine. At the same time, you’re just minutes from Hopkinton State Park, charming downtown Southborough, great restaurants, grocery stores, and easy access to major highways for exploring New England.
