Item Description
An Historic Woods Retreat. A faithful copy, exact for size and appearance, of Henry Thoreau's woods retreat by Walden Pond (1845-1847), Thoreau House looks out across Hamilton Field, an early 19thC. homesite with a stone cellar, to the Jay Mountains and wilderness forest all the way to Lake Champlain. Ringed by pines in this secluded setting, Thoreau House is just a half mile above the scenic AuSable River on Stonehouse Road, the prettiest one-lane dirt road in the state. It's just a short walk to the cool-running brook, well used by settlers years ago, that runs down from Ebenezer Mountain high overhead.
This property offers amazing views, but it is a real wilderness experience for folks with outdoors experience. PLEASE VISIT SITE BEFORE BIDDING: http://4peaks.com/fth.htm
