NEW SALEM is your small town, old village on the edge of the Quabbin Reservoir lands. Hike, fish, picnic over hundreds of acres here. Very little commerce: a cidery, and a wonderful general store, a winery, the Meetinghouse for concerts, to name favorites. The structure was built on a poured concrete foundation using found original materials from homes torn down in the little villages removed by creation of the reservoir in the 1930's. The very special resulting home is a 1790's cape, but has all the modern systems, kitchen, and baths. It's an interesting structure that makes a truly magical home! It is set on a corner lot with mostly open land, many stone walls, garden spots, and an awesome field. Set back, the house is well screened from the road, sited for privacy. All on the westerly edge of the North Quabbin Region, not far from Amherst or Greenfield, and 1hour 43 min. to Logan Airport. Full time living, or your PERFECT COUNTRY VILLAGE HOME.
