About this property

Private Pond, Movie Room, Gym & Fire Pit | Luxe Secluded Berkshires Estate

Escape to the enchanting retreat of Sunny Pond, a charming estate nestled on a private pond among the serene forest of the Berkshires.

The inside of this estate boasts multiple living areas, allowing plenty of room to spread out. The main living area welcomes you with a fireplace, and cozy ambiance, while the second living area features a casual atmosphere, making you feel right at home. These spaces invite you to kick back and spend quality time with your group. A third living area offers a more intimate setting, with a brick fireplace, rich brown interior decor, and plush leather seating.

The spacious, gourmet kitchen is fit for a chef. A wrap-around island counter provides plenty of prep space, while a second island within features barstool seating for a quick snack. Fully equipped with top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including two dishwashers, two ovens, and two sinks, it's ready for you to cook up a feast for your entire group.

Head to the formal dining area, where a fireplace and chandelier set the scene for memorable gatherings. A second dining area, complimented by corner windows boasting views of the pond, offers a more casual setting for meals.

The rest of the estate has a haven for every member of your group. A grand office allows you to work remotely while living lavishly. Head downstairs where a world of fun and entertainment awaits. A movie room boasts a spacious sectional and a large flat-screen TV for the ultimate movie marathon. Adjacent is the playroom, fully stocked with toys, books, and games. From a dollhouse to a dart board, a keyboard to a rocking horse, the playroom promises endless fun for kids of all ages. Fitness enthusiasts will find enjoyment in the gym, fully equipped with a wide variety of machines and exercise equipment, including a Peloton.

For those seeking relaxation, the outdoors of Sunny Pond is the perfect escape. Retreat to one of the outdoor living spaces for your morning coffee or lounging with an afternoon book. Sprawling lawns and a playground offer plenty of room for activities. Go for a swim in the pond, head out on one of the provided pedal boats, or soak up the sun on the dock. You can even take a stroll out to the island in the middle of the pond, accessible by a bridge. It’s the perfect place for catch-and-release fishing! As the sun begins to set, gather around the fire pit to toast marshmallows and tell stories. Unwind from the day in one of seven comfortable bedrooms, each ensuring a restful night’s sleep.

With ample amenities and plenty of space, Sunny Pond has been carefully curated for the perfect group getaway. This dream estate brings the perfect blend of fun and relaxation, promising a truly unforgettable stay in the Berkshires.
