First, the land: Over 3 acres with spring-fed pond, horse barn, wood shed, mature trees, old lilacs, stone walls for borders to the surrounding forest. Now the house: Its native stone was laid sometime near the end of the 19th Century in unique design and construction, with a naturalist's delight in how stone and over a century of snow and rain and sun would cast a fine patina. Inside: board floors, true plaster, porcelain doorknobs, nooked-and-crannied rooms, and good tall windows for light (you can sit comfortably in most of the deeply-set windowsills). Also home to a connoisseurs' breed of draft horses, hence the solidly-built horse barn with hayloft. There's a well for livestock and one for people. The road to this place is remote and removed from the world of today, yet only 2 hours from NYC and 15 minutes from Ski Windham. EXCLUSIVE
