Massachusetts land real estate

Massachusetts land overview

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is home to an intriguing history including passengers of the Mayflower creating the Plymouth settlement, the Salem witch trials, the Boston Tea Party, and playing an important role in the Industrial Revolution. But the small state also features a large number of different landscapes. The rocky coastline of eastern Massachusetts, a popular vacation destination, has some incredible oceanfront property and includes well-known islands like Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket. In the central part of the state, the uplands meet the Connecticut Valley Lowland. The Connecticut River runs through this area providing rich soil to the farmland. As you move west, the elevation begins to rise into the Berkshires. This beautiful and charming region is mountainous and home to the Berkshire Hills, Mount Greylock, and the Taconic Mountains, but also includes the Berkshire Valley covered with green meadowlands.
