The Yellow House is a warm and gracious country retreat set amid an extraordinary natural landscape at the gateway to the Berkshires. Just minutes from the charming villages of Salisbury, Lakeville, Norfolk, Sheffield and Great Barrington, the property offers easy access to the exceptional cultural, culinary, and recreational offerings of the Massachusetts-Connecticut border. Set against a backdrop of rolling hills, open meadows, gardens, and mature trees, the property was designed to embrace its spectacular surroundings. Light-filled interiors are relaxed and inviting, with expansive views. The grounds offer an exceptional country lifestyle, with an organic vegetable garden, apple orchard, and acres of meadow enclosed by a mowed walking loop. Whether enjoying a morning walk, an afternoon in the garden, or the changing beauty of the seasons, the land is as much a part of the experience as the house itself. Inside, a central kitchen serves as the heart of the home, connecting a thoughtfully arranged collection of spaces including a formal dining room, living room, media room, breakfast room, and sunroom. The floor plan offers both elegance and flexibility, with wonderful spaces for entertaining as well as comfortable living. The home is officially 5 bedrooms, but has flexibility for use as 8 or more bedrooms, providing generous accommodations for family and guests. Recent improvements include a new wood-shingle roof, new gym in the barn, and new hardwood floors on 3rd fl. A gunite pool, heated by solar panels on the barn, extends the swimming season while offering cost-free, carbon-free heating-a wonderful complement to the property's commitment to enjoying the land and its natural resources. There is also an attached caretaker's apartment which could provide flexibility for in-laws, or staff. The Yellow House is an extraordinary country property offering exceptional beauty and an authentic connection to the land, all within easy reach of the region's many pleasures. Enjoy multiple ski resorts, hiking, biking, boating, fishing, and the town beach at Lake Wononscopomuc, along with acclaimed restaurants and farmers markets. Nearby cultural destinations include: Yale School of Music, Tanglewood, Jacob's Pillow, the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, and much more. A truly special property-where gracious country living, spectacular surroundings, and the best of the Berkshires region come together.
