An agricultural town of about 900 residents, Sandisfield sits outside Pittsfield and was named for a British colonel called Lord Sandys. Crops like rye are grown in and around Sandisfield. The area also is home to numerous fruit orchards. If the idea of living in a farming haven sounds perfect to you, you may want to sign up for an open house so you can see what homes are for sale in Sandisfield. Many of the homes for sale are designed in the farmhouse style. Vacant lots on which you can build a customized home are also available.
Because it is located some distance away from a major metropolitan area, Sandisfield offers some of the lowest priced real estate in Massachusetts. You can find a four-bedroom, one bathroom home priced at $92,000. You can also find larger ranch-style homes for sale starting at the $300,000 mark. These pricier homes feature more modern construction than those that have lower price tags, however. As is typical with homes found in Massachusetts, the houses for sale in Sandisfield typically have hardwood flooring and even hardwood paneling in some rooms like the living room or study. Your kitchen may come equipped with stainless steel appliances or appliances that operate with natural propane or gas.
