Listing broker remarks

The Kemble, a registered Great Estate built in 1881, is set in the heart of downtown Lenox. Originally a Gilded Age estate, it has been updated and is now offered fully furnished as a turnkey luxury rental. The property is designed for groups, with multiple gathering spaces, a well-equipped kitchen, a mahogany bar, and 13 en-suite bedrooms. It comfortably accommodates 20+ guests and has been a strong performer for weddings, corporate retreats, and multi-generational stays. The grounds feature open lawns, established gardens, and west-facing views. Fully ADA compliant and walkable to Lenox's restaurants, shops, and cultural venues. A rare opportunity to own a large-scale, income-producing property in one of the Berkshires' most established locations.— William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty
