Hawley is one of the most rural towns in Massachusetts, a high, heavily wooded stretch of the hills south of Charlemont. Route 8A climbs through it on the way to Plainfield, passing scattered homes, old cellar holes and forest. Much of the town lies within Kenneth Dubuque Memorial State Forest, and its population has always been spread thinly across farms rather than clustered in a village.
Homes in Hawley are mostly older farmhouses, cabins and newer houses set on large wooded parcels, many with long driveways and off-grid or seasonal character. Some buyers seek land for privacy or recreation. Dolan O’Rourke helps buyers and sellers in Hawley work through rural property details like road access, wells, septic systems and how much land suits their plans.
Living in Hawley
Dubuque State Forest
Kenneth Dubuque Memorial State Forest covers a large part of town, with Hallockville Pond, woods roads and trails used for hiking and snowmobiling.
Hawley Bog
Hawley Bog is a rare upland bog with a boardwalk through floating sphagnum and carnivorous plants, a quiet natural landmark in the hills.
Old farm country
Stone walls, cellar holes and old roads running through Hawley’s woods trace the hill farms that once covered the town before the forest returned.
Gateway to the Mohawk Trail
Route 8A drops north from Hawley to Charlemont and Route 2, putting the Deerfield River, Berkshire East and the Mohawk Trail a short drive away.

Client reviews
What our clients say
I had the absolute pleasure of working with John Dolan and Dolan O’Rourke Real Estate Services while selling my mother’s home. We were going through an extremely difficult transition. We were both unfamiliar with the process of selling a home. From day one, John made himself readily available and kindly explained every part of the process to my mother, always making sure she understood each detail. His knowledge and expertise goes far and above what we expected. His constant communication never left us guessing – we felt very involved in every part of the process. I was caring for my mother on my own and he did everything in his power to ease the burden of selling her property. John knew I had great anxiety over our difficult situation and would always tell me not to worry. He always found a resolution to every bump in the road- and now I am finally worry free! John made us feel cared for and safe. We cannot thank him enough for his hard work. He helped us find a deal that we never could’ve imagined and changed our life for the better!
John was amazing with helping us in our home buying journey! His knowledge and patience made things very easy for us as first time home buyers. I highly recommend John to anyone who wants professionalism and someone who’s gonna get the job done! Thanks John!
We worked with John of Dolan O’Rourke Real Estate Services to purchase our first home in the Greater Boston area. As first time home buyers, John invested a lot of time early on to educate us about what to expect and strategies to consider. Throughout the process John had great communication, listening and advice as we navigated a challenging market. John was approachable, knowledgeable and always fun to be around as we looked at numerous houses, and helped us shape our conversations to really dial in to what we were looking for. We would love to recommend John for future real estate services and are so appreciative of his hard work.
