Property is located outside United States.

Sale results in long term capital gains.

For federal purpose, this needs to be included on the Federal form.

For Massachusetts, does this long term capital gain be included in the state form?  

Do I have to pay Massachusetts state capital gains tax on this foreign capital gain?

Maybe, MA does tax foreign gains. You can review page 14 to see if you qualify for a tax credit for taxes paid in another country. Page 5 lists the taxable income.
