RICHMOND, Mass. (AP) - A Berkshire County real estate company is using a new tool to market its high-end properties - aerial drones.

Tucker Welch Properties on Monday rented a small unmanned aerial vehicle to buzz over a 27-acre property in Richmond occupied by the Inn at Richmond and the Berkshire Equestrian Center. It’s on the market for $5.9 million.

The drone flew high enough to provide a unique view of the equestrian center’s riding ring, and low enough to fit under the ceiling of a main room at the 1771 inn.



The drone’s owner, Terry Holland, tells The Berkshire Eagle (https://bit.ly/1lZnK2i ) he planned to use the footage to create a two-minute video that those interested in the property could access online.

Drones have been used to market luxury properties in other areas of the country.
