Extravagant Contemporary on 120 Acres Along the Williams River, in Great Barrington
12,968 square feet, 9 bedrooms, a 25-meter saltwater lap pool, a 3,000-square-foot barn, and three-quarters of a mile of Williams River frontage—10 minutes from town.
Built in 2010 on nearly 120 acres of protected land off a private road in Great Barrington, 250 Long Pond Road is an architecturally significant contemporary designed by Steven Haas, constructed of steel, glass, concrete, and wood, with German Sorpetaler sliding glass walls and expansive IPE hardwood decks that run the length of the building. The design intent, developed by the owner and Haas together, was to bring the outdoor magic indoors and create a feeling of immersion in nature.
The main residence holds 9 bedrooms, 7 full baths, and 4 half baths, a chef's kitchen with a fireplace, an exercise studio, and a billiards room with bar. A separate guest house, also designed by Haas, provides independent quarters. A 3,000-square-foot barn with soaring ceilings sits further on the property, suited to whatever a buyer wants to make of it.
Outside, a 25-meter heated saltwater lap pool with outdoor kitchen, hot tub, stone fire pit, and pool cabana with full bath and outdoor shower occupy the immediate grounds. The 120 acres include cliffs, springs, running and biking trails, dramatic rock outcroppings, and three-quarters of a mile of the Williams River—a designated trout stream.
250 Long Pond Road, Great Barrington (MA) is listed at $6,475,000, offered by Elyse Harney Morris at Elyse Harney Real Estate.
