Whately, Massachusetts, located along the southern border of Franklin County, is a small town just north of Springfield that lies along the banks of the Connecticut River. Although Whately is primarily surrounded by farmland, the town's prime location along the Connecticut and Mill River made it a successful mill town at the turn of the century, when a number of the historic homes that line Chestnut Plain Road, Whately's main thoroughfare, were constructed. Today, Whately is home to approximately 1,500 residents, and its pristine woodlands, meadows, and meandering brooks make this town an idyllic getaway from the stresses of urban living. Enjoy the stunning fall foliage from the porch of your log cabin, or watch the sun set over the picturesque pastureland surrounding your own private retreat. Whately offers homes ranging from traditional federal farmhouses to mid-century modern designs, all situated in the rolling hills of the Pioneer Valley. Development in the areas surrounding Whately has created brand new home construction with contemporary features and all the latest in home amenities and styles, while plans for new Open Space preserves will ensure Whately maintains its rustic charm for years to come.
