Aaron Barbaro, an 18-year-old boy, would often dream of the perfect land to build his ideal home on. Little did he know that this dream would one day become a reality. The property, located at 4873 Lawless Road in Marcellus, New York, is a 40.54-acre estate that has been his home for the past 20 years. With its unique features, stunning indoor pool, and incredible outdoor spaces, this property is truly one-of-a-kind. For Barbaro, the journey to owning this property began when he was 18 years old. At that time, he was working in the generator repair business in Syracuse and had a keen eye for “special stuff” needed for the pool’s maintenance. He made a bid for the 60-acre property, one dollar more than the asking price, and successfully won the bid. Over the years, Barbaro has sunk a significant amount of sweat and equity into building and customizing his home. He began building the ranch in 2006, and the project has grown significantly since then. The home’s square footage has more than doubled, and it now stands at approximately 6,722 square feet. One of the most notable features of the property is its indoor heated pool, which Barbaro had installed in 2015. The 16-by-36-foot pool room is equipped with a slide, and its own dedicated furnace, ventilation system, air-conditioning, and dehumidifier ensure that the water remains warm and comfortable throughout the year. The pool is also equipped with lights and requires minimal maintenance, with chlorine added only once a month and vacuuming only a few times a year. The property also features an incredible great room, which Barbaro had added to the home in 2019. The room is adorned with a wood-burning fireplace made of solid stone, which Barbaro and his wife, Angela, burn for 20 cords of wood every winter. The great room is perfect for entertaining and features a wet bar and hot tub. In addition to the indoor pool and great room, the property also boasts a finished basement that could be its own apartment. The basement features a full kitchen, full bathroom, and bedroom, as well as a family area and room for a gym and rec area with a ping-pong and billiards table. The property’s outdoor spaces are equally impressive, with a serene backyard featuring a relaxing waterfall, pergola, stone patio, fire pit, and almost full-sized basketball court with lights for nighttime games. The property also features a five-car garage and a pole barn with a car lift.
