If Pottery Barn designed a country retreat, it would look a lot like this. Not a farmhouse. Not a fixer-upper. Not a cookie-cutter Colonial. Just a home that feels effortlessly inviting. A wood-burning fireplace in the kitchen. Hardwood and wide pine floors. A dreamy primary suite with a hidden bonus room perfect as a nursery or for working from home. A walk-up attic with endless possibilities. A backyard pond where you can cast your line. Stone walls. Raspberries. Close to Peabody Mills Trails. And somehow, you're only minutes from Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, restaurants and everything along the Bedford line. Some homes impress you. Others make you wonder what it would feel like to live there. This Amherst home gives you country living with a refined, classic aesthetic in a town with tons of history and hometown pride. Come take a look!

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
