Bucolic Family Gathering Spot
The pictures wowed me in the first place, but to see this property in person is the only way to understand its expansive beauty. With our two 20-something kids (and spouse + friends) based in NYC, we wanted a place to gather that would be a short commute for them. Our host was very responsive and the house caretaker and housekeeper were always nearby to help...and we were greeted with some fresh eggs from the farm's chickens, along with some local produce. Cooking together is our favorite way to reconnect and the farmhouse kitchen is spacious and very well-equipped for anything you want to whip up. The rest of the house (which managed to be both impeccably designed and instantly comfortable at the same time) provided plenty of rooms and sleeping spaces for some work-from-home time and a couple of last minute friend visits. The weather was very warm, but the incredible pool house and pool (situated at a high point in the property for incredible views) offered the perfect spot to cool off. That building, too, was very well outfitted for entertaining...a grill and a fire pit are just off to the side. The hedge-framed tennis court was just beautiful. This was an animal friendly place--our dog had a blast running and exploring the property with us. An organic market was minutes away and the surrounding towns offered interesting shopping and a wonderful farmers market. Needless to say...we highly recommend!
