デッキ、池、そりの丘の素晴らしい景色 - 100エーカー以上 - 家族のための素晴らしい

We are a family of musicians and writers who like to walk in the woods. There's an electric piano; there are music stands, Ping Pong table, games (we are Scrabble fans) and plenty of privacy for quiet reading. This is the perfect house for those who like to stay at home while others are skiing, as the house is such a pleasure. There are 100 hikeable acres down "our valley". Food shopping and a big drugstore are seven minutes away, yet the privacy is perfection.

We first built this house in 1965, and enlarged and modernized it in '95. Our house is completely private - you can't see or hear any other houses (although there are houses perhaps 1/4 mile away). Even the view is just nature, just trees and mountains. We chose to come here because we love Vermont, and Wilmington is within reach of both Boston and New York, as it's just over the Mass. border. There's plenty to do here, but it's not all frantic traffic and street density as it is on Cape Cod or in the Hamptons.

There's something about standing on our deck and looking at the view that is totally relaxing. Then there's that walk to the pond, where one can swim or raft, and, in winter, the pleasure of watching children take sleds from our woodshed and slide down the hill. Wilmington has all sorts of sweet shops, and Brattleboro is 30 minutes away, a town of artists and craftspeople. Manchester and its outlet stores is an hour away. Of course, for skiers there's Mount Snow or Stratton--or you can just snow shoe in our woods or sled down the hill.
