Former Pine Cone Hill complex in Pittsfield is now for sale at $3.25 million

PITTSFIELD — A historic industrial complex near the center of the city is now for sale, with a suggested price tag of $3.25 million.
The 11-acre, four-building complex at 125 Pecks Road, with roots dating back to the Civil War, hit the real estate market on June 2.
The former Pine Cone Hill complex at 125 Pecks Road, now for sale, includes substantial warehouse space.
Real estate agents from William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty recently took The Eagle on a tour of the four buildings, which collectively span 193,037 square feet. The campus is bordered by Pittsfield Cemetery to the west and St. Joseph Cemetery to the north, while Onota Brook runs along the property’s eastern side.
The property previously housed an outlet store and manufacturing space for Pine Cone Hill, an Annie Selke Cos. brand that specialized in rugs, bedding, sleepwear and other products. Fresh American LLC, the parent company of Annie Selke Cos., was acquired by Rugs USA in 2023. Rugs USA now owns the Pecks Road complex through a subsidiary, 1863 Mill Realty LLC.
The industrial complex at 125 Pecks Road in Pittsfield formerly housed an outlet store for Pine Cone Hill, a home goods brand.
Rugs USA laid off between 40 and 50 employees at the Pecks Road campus in 2023 following the acquisition. The company plans to relocate its remaining Pittsfield employees to New Jersey once the sale is complete.
While some employees are still working out of the complex’s main office building, the three other warehouse buildings are currently vacant. The outlet store closed in late 2024.
The current complex began its life as a three-story woolen mill, built by the Russell family in 1863 to produce uniforms and blankets for the Union Army during the Civil War.
It was one of 11 former mills and factories that sprang up in Pittsfield during the city’s industrial heyday, according to The Mills of Pittsfield, a website curated by John Dickson, chair of the Pittsfield Historic Commission.
“It’s important to have a history and cherish it,” said real estate agent Carrie Lobovits Wright of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty. “I’d love to see it go to the next person to take the helm.”
The 125 Pecks Road complex features 32 office and conference spaces in its main building.
The complex’s history is evident in the building materials. Building D, a three-story office hub, still sports a brick facade. While the building’s interior has been modernized to include bespoke office space — including kitchenettes, built-in whiteboards and a conference room with a wall of plants — the brick is still visible along the outer walls as well.
“What’s great is that there was a revitalization and a rejuvenation of an old mill,” said real estate agent Nick Geranios of William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty. “Anytime you can reuse and recycle, it’s just a win for the community and the environment.”
At full capacity, the complex can support roughly 200 on-site workers, Geranios said. The property listing mentions 32 office and conference spaces in Building D, and at least 15 other spaces throughout the complex. The complex also has a parking lot.
“We would love for a company to come to bring jobs to the Berkshires,” he said.
With plenty of warehouse space — including loading docks — and room for manufacturing equipment, the property would translate well to another business venture. But the property’s listing agents said they’re willing to entertain a variety of creative uses.
“We’re open to everyone, we really are,” Wright said. “It could be a company, it could be an artist, it could be a group of people.”
