A Berkshire residence has just entered the real estate market with a price tag of $3.25 million, boasting an exceptional quarry pool as its showpiece. Located at 232 Giberson Road in Sheffield, the 60-acre property houses a 3,459 square-foot carriage house alongside the stand-out 800-square-foot quarry pool, which is now equipped with a 16-foot waterfall and a full filtration system, according to Boston.com.
This pool, originally a limestone quarry, now functions with all the expected amenities of a modern swimming pool within a natural setting, and it is unlike any other—per real estate agent Jared Kelly of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, "I don’t want to say it’s all about the pool, but it’s certainly the centerpiece of this listing," Kelly told Boston.com. The property features a main residence with four bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, including a primary suite located on the first floor which allows direct access to the property's grounds, a sitting area, and a spa-inspired bath that boasts both a deep soaking tub and a large shower.
The accommodation includes more than the primary suite; it houses three additional bedrooms on the lower level, two of which feature carriage doors leading directly to the grounds, and there's a built-in gym area for exercise enthusiasts. The home's second story features a vaulted great room with exposed beams, a wood stove, and a kitchen that merges seamlessly into the dining area, as noted in the Boston.com report. The living experience extends outdoors with a balcony and a screened-in porch that offers a "treehouse vibe," harmoniously embracing the natural surroundings.
Surrounding the home are rolling grounds and meticulously maintained landscaping, woven throughout with trails and bordered by the undeniable presence of natural beauty, wetlands, and critical ecosystems, the home is just a short 15-minute drive from Great Barrington, making it both secluded and accessible in equal measure, Mansion Global describes the estate as a marvel of "geology, industry, and artistry," a rare blend that makes the property stand out as much for its aesthetic qualities as for its functionality and seclusion.
Indeed, the possibility for envisioning additional dwellings on the property enhances its versatility, however, the estate's recognition comes mainly from the limestone quarry pool, surrounded by gardens, an open lawn, and forested acreage all of which contribute to the property's extreme privacy. The Massachusett's mansion's blend of luxury and tranquility makes it stand out as a significant listing in the current real estate market, as detailed by both Boston.com and Mansion Global.
