Located near the New Hampshire border, Holiday Hill farm is located in a Vermont village overlooking the White Mountains. Enjoy the 54.4 acres of sprawling land the property sits on, complete with pastures, forests, and stone walls. The 2007 Federal-style farmhouse itself totes period moldings, cherry floors, and two cozy fireplaces to curl up by on cold winter nights. Top all that with a four-season porch and you’ve got a place that’s downright dreamy, no matter what time of year you’re there.

If you’re in want of an actual farm, you’ll have enough room for yourself and a brood of farmhands in this countryside Vermont home. This compound comes with two houses (a 2007 timber-frame home and an 1840s farmhouse) and 80 acres of land. Across the sprawling grounds, you’ll find a river, sixty acres of timber, an apple orchard, perennial berry bushes, and sugarbush for maple syrup. A two-story barn is perfect for storing hay or sheltering farm animals, the latter of which can roam in eight acres of fenced pasture. But don’t think you’ll be stuck roughing it just because you’re living off the land: the main house comes with solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, and a cozy kitchen that’s to die for.

Nothing says cozy quite like a log house. Tucked away in the woods of western Massachusetts, this wooden home also comes with the updates you need so you can live a rustic (not rusty) lifestyle. We’re talking marble kitchen counters, stainless steel appliances, a second-floor loft, a finished basement, and high efficiency boiler and heater. In the warmer weather, unwind on the porch after a day on Lake Buel or the nearby Appalachian Trail. Winters can be enjoyed on the slopes of Ski Butternut nearby.
