About This Home
Escape to Country Living in Buckland! Looking for views, privacy and some acres of your own to roam? How about a well stewarded 1972 cedar shake Cape with many upgrades completed, and a brook at the edge of the property? Move right in and start enjoying the four seasons - in the summer heat you will escape to the covered back patio, away from the sun. In winter, snuggle up to the soapstone wood stove and watch the snow fall outside. Marvel as the magical fall colors appear on the nearby hills, and then green back up again in spring. Layout allows for a first floor bedroom (currently a den/library). The home is wired for a portable generator, and the one on site stays. New septic tank, well pump, recent high efficiency propane boiler are just a few of the benefits a new owner will enjoy. Terrific shed is both functional storage space and aesthetically pleasing on the landscape. Schedule your appointment today!
