October 24, 2026 land sale at NLP's Brookside Preserve will feature 2.5-acre estate homesites priced at $99,900 and a limited selection of wooded properties spanning more than 20 acres along the Richmond and West Stockbridge town line. 

RICHMOND, Mass., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The family-owned developer behind Brookside Preserve today announced the grand opening of the private large-acreage community in the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts. The one-day land sale will take place Saturday, October 24, 2026, and will feature a limited release of wooded estate homesites ranging from 2.5 to more than 20 acres. The family also plans to retain a portion of the property as part of its own family's legacy land – a testament to the caliber of this Berkshire property.

Grand opening pricing includes 2.5-acre homesites from $99,900 and a 21.285-acre wooded property at $299,900. Private property tours and priority sales appointments are available in advance. To schedule a private tour or priority sales appointment, call or text 800-564-5092.

Brookside Preserve spans approximately 118 acres, with 91 acres in Richmond and 27 acres in West Stockbridge. The community features wooded terrain, natural privacy and Furnace Brook running through the property. County road access, electricity and internet service are available. Buyers may purchase now and build later with no required construction timeline, select their own builder and take advantage of available bank financing.

The family behind Brookside Preserve has been in the land development business for several decades and is backed by one of the nation's largest buyers and sellers of recreational and residential acreage. They fell in love with the property the moment they saw it. That immediate connection led to a decision to keep some of the acreage for their own family to enjoy and pass down through generations. Their choice to make Brookside Preserve part of their personal legacy reflects what drew them to the land in the first place: a rare combination of wooded privacy, natural beauty and proximity to the cultural and recreational destinations that make the Berkshires so distinctive.

The release comes as the Berkshires continues to draw significant visitor activity. The Massachusetts Office of Travel and Tourism reported that direct visitor spending in Berkshire County reached $853.2 million in 2025, up 1.6% from 2024. Tanglewood, the summer home of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, typically welcomes more than 350,000 visitors during its summer season. Brookside Preserve is approximately 10 minutes from Tanglewood and Stockbridge and approximately 15 minutes from downtown Lenox.

"Brookside Preserve gives buyers a rare opportunity to own private wooded acreage in the heart of the Berkshires while remaining close to the region's best-known cultural, recreational and dining destinations," said Jon Riley. "With homesites ranging from 2.5 to more than 20 acres, buyers can choose the setting that fits their plans and build when they are ready."
