Futuristic flair meets 1840s style in jaw-dropping property for sale. Take a gander
It’s not every day a property hops onto the real estate market that so smoothly blends modern architecture with old school buildings that are more than a century old. But this particular estate in New Marlborough, Massachusetts, manages to do that with a vibrant flair.
Yet, you have to have $15.5 million stored away for a rainy day.
“Set on a rise of nearly 300 acres of rolling meadows, ponds, forests, and river frontage, Vergelegen is a Berkshire estate without parallel,” the listing on Realtor.com says. “Developed by two art historians in collaboration with an award-winning creative team composed of world-class American architect Tom Kundig, and acclaimed British landscape architect Tom Stuart-Smith, and a Berkshires based master builder.”
The property has a 4,273-square-foot modern house that has an appearance of being mostly windows, giving it a futuristic feel outside, with an indoor/outdoor layout inside.
“It’s just a completely unique take on living in this area,” listing agent Kenzie Fields, of Elyse Harney Real Estate, told Realtor.com. “It offers the combination of privacy and a modern main home.”
Features of the main house include:
Central fireplace
Music room
Hidden galley butler’s pantry
Sound-proof office
Heated garage
Mudroom
Wine storage
Other buildings on the property include:
Renovated 1840s farmhouse
Bank barn
Two guest cabins
Art storage building
Equestrian facilities
Covered bridge
“The home offers the magnificent opportunity to live privately in a house designed with function,” Fields told Realtor. “I think the next buyer will be someone who loves the Berkshires or just wants to be in an area that offers equal parts art and culture—along with a pretty, pristine, natural landscape.”
New Marlborough is about 145 miles west of Boston.
