The Estate
on 17 Acres
40 Brooks Pond Road, Spencer, Massachusetts
Impressive. Unreal. Speechless.
Mansion, equestrian estate, family compound or gentleman or gentlewoman farm, with total privacy on 17 acres in Spencer.
Set high on five gently sloping acres of open field, surrounded by 17 acres of gorgeous land, this 5,400+ square foot residence has been completely renovated to a like-new state.
Those are the words people use when they first see this home. Picture a private gate at the road, horses grazing along the drive, and the house rising at the top of the hill. Inside, the layout was designed for the most discerning buyer, with flexibility built in: open living and entertaining, a cathedral-ceiling kitchen and a primary suite that adapts to the way you live.
The 17 acres include six buildable ANR lots, giving you room for a family compound or the option to build and sell. Prefer fewer acres? The home is also available with about 8 acres at $1,250,000 or 12 acres at $1,350,000.

Life in Spencer
A historic New England town in central Worcester County, with farmland, forests and an easy drive to Worcester.
Spencer gives you room to breathe: open land, quiet country roads and real privacy, about half an hour from Worcester.
Settled in 1721, Spencer keeps the character of a classic New England town, with a historic Main Street, the Richard Sugden Public Library and the Spencer Fair, a traditional agricultural fair held every Labor Day weekend.
Buyers come here for what is hard to find closer to Boston: acreage, land for horses and a slower pace, with Route 9, Worcester and the Mass Pike all within reach. Most Spencer homes sit on modest lots, which makes an estate of this scale especially rare.
Schools
Spencer-East Brookfield Regional schools serve the town: Wire Village School (K–4), Knox Trail (5–8) and David Prouty High School, which is being transformed by a $112 million addition and renovation. Worcester Academy and Bancroft School are nearby private options, and Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School is in Charlton.
Dining
The historic Spencer Country Inn is the local pick for prime rib and Sunday brunch, with casual favorites along Main Street. Worcester's Shrewsbury Street restaurant row and Sturbridge's Publick House, a colonial inn dating to 1771, are both an easy drive.
Shopping and local finds
Everyday errands are along Route 9 and Main Street. Pick up monk-made preserves at the St. Joseph's Abbey gift shop, plants at Bemis Farms Nursery, family-run since 1947, and handmade holiday décor at the Oakwood Farm Christmas Barn. The Brimfield Antique Flea Market is close by.
Outdoors and riding
Spencer State Forest has more than 900 acres of trails and ponds, and Mass Audubon's Burncoat Pond Wildlife Sanctuary is in town. Riders can use the trails at the 300-acre Sibley-Warner Farm, show at Camp Marshall Equestrian Center or take lessons at Canterbury Acres.
Drive times are approximate and vary with traffic. Confirm school assignments with the Spencer-East Brookfield Regional School District.
