Set on 11 enchanting acres in the pastoral town of New Marlborough, Massachusetts, this exceptional Berkshires estate offers a rare convergence of architectural refinement, natural splendor, and modern luxury. Designed by an architect and originally built in 1984, the main house, guest house, and pool house were all fully renovated in early 2025 to create a cohesive, contemporary compound with timeless style and enduring grace.
A long, private drive leads through an arboretum-like collection of mature trees to a secluded setting that feels both cultivated and wild. Here, heirloom stone walls, glacial rock formations, and a shimmering pond define the landscape. Master-crafted stone paths and terraces by local masons integrate the home with its natural surroundings, while new systems and finishes elevate everyday living.
The main residence features three serene bedroom suites, with radiant-heated bathrooms, central air-conditioning throughout and private views. The primary suite is a standout, with curved, panoramic windows framing the pond, a luxe dressing area, and spa-like bath. The kitchen is equally refined, appointed with Sub-Zero, Bertazzoni, and Thermador appliances – ideal for both quiet mornings and entertaining on a grand scale. The open plan and natural finishes, make this a home that breathes with the land around it.
The guest house (air-conditioned) offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a cozy living room, and a well-equipped kitchen – perfect for long weekends or independent living. The guest house primary suite includes its own private terrace for quiet morning coffee or evening repose.
The pool house charms with a kitchenette, changing room, and both indoor and outdoor showers. The pool and spa – outfitted with all new equipment and liner in 2025 – are framed by lush gardens and stonework, creating a retreat-like setting for relaxation or entertaining.
This is a property designed for quiet reflection and lively gatherings alike, offering luxurious indoor-outdoor living in one of the most sought-after corners of the Berkshires. A whole-house generator provides peace of mind.
Located less than 25 minutes to Great Barrington and just 30 minutes to Salisbury, CT, this home also offers easy access to Norfolk, CT (10 minutes), Wassaic train station (50 minutes), and Bradley International Airport in Hartford (about 50 minutes). New Marlborough itself is home to four of Berkshire County’s most celebrated culinary destinations – The Old Inn on the Green, Gedney Kitchen, Cantina 229, and the beloved Southfield Store, a local hub for coffee, brunch, and community.

It would speak of the stonemasons who returned to breathe new life into its pathways and patios—just as the interiors were reimagined with the finest finishes and systems. This house has always held beauty, but today, it tells a richer story—of vision renewed, of land honored, and of the timeless allure of the southern Berkshires.
