Historic Stone Church in The Berkshires

Hinterland Hall was originally built in 1836 by the Saint Luke's Episcopal parish and in 1972 was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ripe with history and impeccable beauty, Ian & Jane purchased the old stone church in May 2021 completing an extensive restoration process in accordance with the Massachusetts Historic Commission. Available for: • Photo/Film Shoot • Content Creation/Blogging/Youtube Videos • Podcasts/Interviews • Weddings • Elevated Overnight Accommodations • Yoga Classes • Concert Hall When entering Hinterland Hall, the ground level sanctuary is flooded with natural light beaming in from its nine, twenty foot tracery windows, of which two feature original stained glass from 1851. The sanctuary's expansive floor plan includes its original reclaimed wide plank pine flooring with rebuilt pine pews. The thirty seven foot cathedral ceilings feature its original shiplap finish. Impossible to miss, the historic & rare hand pumped organ was crafted in 1862 by the famed organ maker William Johnson of Westfield. It is number 134 of 860 made by Johnson and operates today as one of the oldest-working hand pumped organs in the United States. Many of these old organs have been burned in church fires, replaced by later models, or have been significantly altered and electrified, but this one remains in its original condition and was professionally restored after our purchase. The sanctuary boasts impeccable acoustics. Elements of the original gold foiled altarpiece remain surrounded by a cozy living area complete with an HD film projector and contemporary furnishings. Have a sip of whisky from the antique brass bar cart while making your way upstairs to the luxurious ensuite. Follow the copper spiral staircase to an original early 19th century full length mercury glass Louis Phillipe mirror adjacent to a fully stocked kitchenette. Complete with a refrigerator, all-in-one compact oven, a pour over chemex coffee station and selections of specialty snacks from Regalis Foods. Pop some Black Truffle Popcorn and curl up on a sheepskin for the perfect movie night. Surrounded by glass, climb the steps inside the washroom which is fully encased in heated native bluestone. Take refuge in our luxurious concrete soaking tub for two or enjoy an open rain shower from the free-floating hammered brass shower head. Get wrapped up in our signature robes and curl into bed with hand block printed natural linens. Relax atop the live edge pine frame which was handcrafted by our favorite Amish furniture maker. Enjoy a large pull out drawer perfect for storing a suitcase or clothing. Back downstairs, walk through the altar door and find yourself on the stone patio which boasts pastoral views and our hand-forged fire pit for the perfect s'mores. When outside, look up at the original bronze bell atop the belltower. It is from 1891 built by the Meneely & Co. Bell Company from West Troy, NY, and was hoisted into position by horse carriage. Original marble stone platforms for passenger carriage unloading remain on the grounds today. Hinterland Hall is nestled at the foothills of Mt. Greylock state reservation and is minutes away from Jiminy Peak, the tallest ski mountain in Massachusetts. Also nearby are Mass MoCA and The Clark, must visit world class art institutions. For music lovers, Tanglewood is a short drive south in neighboring Lenox.
