Listed: For $3.25 million, a Berkshires oasis with a quarry pool

“I don’t want to say it's all about the pool, but it's certainly the centerpiece of this listing,” the listing agent said.

The home at 232 Giberson Road may be stunning, but it’s the 800-square-foot quarry pool that instantly draws the eye.

Tucked away in the Berkshires on 60 bucolic acres in the town of Sheffield, the sprawling property features a pool that was originally a limestone quarry. Now, it’s equipped with a 16-foot waterfall, a spot for seating, a filtration system, and is fully functioning like any other pool.

“I don’t want to say it’s all about the pool, but it’s certainly the centerpiece of this listing,” said Jared Kelly of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, who has the listing with Elle Villetto. “It’s unlike anything that we’ve seen.”

Along with the unique pool, the four-bed, three-and-a-half-bath carriage house, which measures 3,459 square feet, is listed at $3.25 million. Originally built in 1997, the home underwent multiple renovations in later years.

The primary suite is on the first floor of the home and feels like a private retreat. It has its own sitting area, as well as a spa-inspired bath with a deep soaking tub, a large shower, and direct access to the grounds. There are three additional bedrooms on the first floor. The beautiful carriage doors open up from two of those bedrooms, boasting a unique opportunity to walk directly out to the impeccably curated grounds. You’ll also find a gym on the first floor.

Head upstairs and you’ll find the vaulted great room featuring exposed beams and a wood stove. The kitchen is also located on the second level. It features marble countertops, a farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry. Flowing naturally into the dining area, it’s ideal for entertaining. But it’s hard to resist the draw beyond the French doors out to the screened-in porch, which provides a treehouse vibe that makes one feel as if they’re tucked inside the canopy. You’ll also find a balcony off the great room overlooking the grounds.

The home has an oversized three-car garage.

In addition to the rolling grounds and stunning landscaping, the home is surrounded by trails and natural beauty. Wetlands and critical ecosystems are plentiful in the area. High on privacy, a 15-minute drive will take you into Great Barrington.
