An exceptional retreat with sweeping pastoral and mountain views

Sheila Thunfors and Nikki Carchedi of Stone House Properties offer a home with the best of both worlds—a rural retreat that's close to town.

Come relax amid sweeping pastoral and mountain views in this exceptional retreat designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort. The impressive great room, anchored by a massive stone fireplace, offers a welcoming focal point and flows into a spacious well-designed kitchen/dining area. A screened porch with fireplace overlooks the pool and rolling landscape, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The first-floor primary suite features a luxurious bath and tranquil views. An exceptional cinema room includes theater-style reclining seats and a half bath. Generous guest accommodations throughout. A private office suite with full bath. Outdoors, enjoy an infinity pool, bluestone patios, lush gardens, a charming pool house — all just three miles from downtown Great Barrington.

What is the most compelling thing about this property?

The most compelling thing about this property is the bucolic view of the mountains to the south and west enjoyed throughout the house, deck, porch and pool.

For whom is this house perfect?

Designed for both connection and privacy, this home offers generous common spaces along with distinct, quiet areas for a private home office suite, home theater, exercise/playrooms, and welcoming guest quarters.

What is the most fun thing to do within five miles of this property?

Enjoy this exceptional location with countless activities nearby.  Just three miles to downtown Great Barrington for dining, shopping, and theater.  Skiing at Butternut, miles of preserved hiking trails, swimming and fitness classes at the South Berkshire Regional Community Center, and local favorites like Busk and the Farmers’ Market are all within 5 miles.

If this house could talk, what secrets would it tell you about its history?

This house has heard many secrets; some shared during unhurried poolside conversations, some while enjoying golden sunsets from the porch and deck, some among multiple cooks gathering in the kitchen, and some during playful hide-and-seek games of the younger set.
