Property Description
Some houses are named for what they have. This one is named for what surrounds it.
East of the front porch, the Washington County Grasslands opens and keeps opening. Fields, then more fields, then mountains holding up the far edge. 478 acres of it are a state Wildlife Management Area, so the view is not a matter of luck. One of the Northeast's great birding grounds: short eared owls and harriers in winter, meadowlarks and upland sandpipers in summer, nearly two hundred species across the year. People drive hours for what you will see each morning.
The next thing you notice is what you do not hear. No traffic, no compressors, no highway underneath. Just birds working through the morning, crickets that never quite stopped overnight.
West of the house, a different kind of open. Seven acres fall away from the back deck to a pond where the light goes copper before dark. The neighbors, both of them, are far enough away that you will not hear them, close enough that you would notice if something were wrong. The cul de sac ends here. Nobody drives past by accident.
Between the two views sits a single story home, three bedrooms, two full baths, renovated top to bottom before the current owners moved in. Newer roof. Modern finishes. No weekend list waiting when you would rather be outside.
The 30x40 barn carries a new roof and a 14 kW solar array producing roughly twice what this house uses. Meaning this home is energy efficient. You'll never have an electric bill! Built with room for expansion to maintain that energy independent lifestyle. Build the workshop. Open a farm. Start the homestead. There is power to spare. A new engineered septic and whole house water treatment went in last year, which is to say the expensive, invisible work is done.
Sunrise on one side. Sunset on the other. Crickets in between. All 20 minutes from Saratoga Springs.
Come sit on the front porch in the rocking chair. That is usually all it takes.
