WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — A large commercial property near the Vermont border is set to be auctioned off next month.

 

Last weekend, JJ Manning Auctioneers posted signs at 877 Simonds Road (U.S. Route 7) announcing a June 17 auction at the property, which was home to the former Chenail farm stand and currently houses other businesses, including a martial arts studio.

 

The online advertisement for the property says it encompasses about 7.1 acres of mixed-use land with eight structures, including a two-family home and two greenhouses.

 

At the south end of the property, it is bisected by Broad Brook; about 1.5 acres of the lot (21 percent) is on the south side of the waterway or includes the brook itself. 

 

Richard and Donna Chenail are currently listed as owners on the town tax roll, and the property has an assessed value of $632,900.

 

JJ Manning’s website says that pre-auction offers will be entertained.

 

The auction is scheduled for noon on Tuesday, June 17.
