Perched ideally at the top of the summit of Cunningham Hill, right near the border of New York and Massachusetts, this red barn-style masterpiece with over 30 acres of land is seeking $12.5 million. Perfect for those who want a rural residence that makes a statement, it offers peace and solitude so both humans and animals can savor breathtaking sunrises, lush pastures, and a quiet lifestyle with ease.
Designed in 2016 by Burr and McCallum, the AIA award-winning home was constructed with reclaimed wood from New York City water tanks and Boston cobblestones, according to Realtor.com. The firm especially embraces the ‘undisguised integrity’ of the residential, industrial, and agricultural structures of the northeast, evident here in the structure’s cathedral ceilings, exposed beams, and windows.
“This house is design-forward but not glitzy. It has a comfortable and elegant design in a modern shell with energy efficiency. It’s simple elegance with contemporary architecture at its finest that makes an impression on everyone who walks through the door,” listing agent Steven Weisz told Realtor.com this summer. The 6,829-square-foot property has classic barn elements, including sliding barn doors, wood-clad walls, and a farmhouse-style kitchen. With a metal roof and concrete built-ins, these more industrial details blend to create a cozy and rugged feel.
The great room is one of the most striking spaces. An elongated floor plan and the surrounding parallel windows welcome light from all angles into the great room, which is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. There is also an outdoor sitting room for lazy summer nights by the pool. Two of the four bedrooms, including the primary suite, have two connected loft spaces. A separate guest wing connected by a breezeway provides privacy for visitors or could provide a great work-from-home zone. When it’s time to relax, the property’s infinity-edge pool, built-in firepit on the patio, and fitness center offer luxe options for that.
Next to the home, there is a 6-acre hobby farm with an arena, paddock, and stables for horses or cows. Steven Weisz of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing.
