Being an avid watcher of the television show Yellowstone is closely correlated with looking up real estate options in Wyoming.
For those of us craving the great outdoors but know we could never cut it on the ranch, there’s a showstopping log home at 448 S. Ashburnham Road in Westminster. It’s not as far as you think.
Nestled on the banks of Whitmanville Reservoir, surrounded by tall evergreens and overlooking pristine conservation land, the home is just 10 minutes from skiing and hiking at Mount Wachusett, an hour from Boston, and 90 minutes to the Berkshires. This is the place for you year-round outdoor enthusiasts or a seasonal escape.
Craftsmanship meets quiet luxury in this hand-hewn Montana pine log home. From a double-height open concept living room, a wall of glass lets you take in the breadth of scenery and boy, it’s a good one. Warm up by the wood-burning fireplace set into a ceiling-height stone feature and don’t miss a thing while cooking up a storm in the kitchen. Set in the corner, the kitchen features an oversized eat-in breakfast bar and buffet and dreamy AGA Elise range.
Upstairs, the primary suite stuns with treetop views and an en-suite bath that features a cast iron soaking tub and stone and slate shower. There are two guest bedrooms on the first floor.
Naturally, the outdoor living and entertaining here is primo. In addition to the stone steps leading you to your own private beach and dock — did we mention you get 700’ of lake frontage? — the home enjoys a sprawling covered porch, decking, a hot tub, and an outdoor shower.
