Have you ever imagined driving into unspoiled countryside where tourists are rare, vacation properties rarer, people are friendly, and views are spectacular. You turn off the main road and go down gravel roads passing the last house wondering if this is the right way until the road opens up on a lovely farm from the past--clapboard house, big barn, former one room school workshed.
I fell in love with my place in the Southern Tier of NYS 6 years ago when I first saw it. It is 70 acres of hilltop heaven--the quiet is so intense you feel it. The views are incredibly beautiful and serene. A handful of cars come by each day. You can't see another house--it feels like you are by yourself in the midst of country beauty.
The house has 2 big living rooms, a dining room, enclosed front porch, 2 bathrooms, laundry room, and entry/woodshed on the 1st floor. The 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms and a sitting/reading area. The rooms are tastefully redone and decorated--the descendants of the owners from 1915 to 1965 just had a reunion there and said it had never looked better.
There is a large lawn to sit on to enjoy the views, eat out, read, play with the kids or dogs etc. A path goes up the hill through the hay fields (30 acres are still being hayed) to the pond for swimming, picnicking, and even more spectacular landscapes.
There are fields, woods, streams, and gravel roads all around to walk or bike on. Just walk out the door in the morning and you have great choices of where to go for lovely views and fresh air.
There are many good inexpensive country restaurants in the area and a terrific Wegmans Supermarket open 24 hours a day in Hornell. It is a short drive to the restaurants and wineries of Keuka Lake and the Glass Museum and charming downtown of Corning.
Try a vacation here and you will love it -- just read the guestbook comments. |
