This remarkable enclave is called Look-afar-Farm for the lovely pastures that sweep away from the privacy of a hilltop, to rolling meadows and their sequestering woodlands, leading the eye over the treetops, far away to the mountains. The property consists of 47 acres, of which about 27 acres are in the pasture. The dwelling is ‘cottagesque’: woodsy, cozy, and comfortable on three levels. There is a weathered, wooden deck, the enchanting mood of which is created by a leafy canopy. Close by the house is an authentic, one-room cottage with facilities. These buildings comprise the living area of the farm and occupy the high ground from which the pastures gently fall away. A few years back this was an active equestrian property, and there is a run-in/barn, an equipment shed, and a large workshop/storage building. While the buildings are modest, the site is superb, and the land is gorgeous. There is a rare serenity about this unusually sweet spot.
