This is a four bedroom 2700sq foot contemporary log post & beam home only 10 minutes from the center of Amherst. Set back from the road up a long driveway, the first floor has a private walkout entrance off the Goshen stone patio. There's a mother-in-law apartment on the first floor complete with a kitchen, bathroom, washing room, huge bedroom with closet and huge living area/family room. The wide double-paned windows let in sunlight year round, and it's very cool during the summer. The two upstairs floors are accessible by a private entrance, and include a full kitchen, living room, large bathroom, large bedroom with walk in closet. The 3rd floor consists of a huge loft (25x18'), which is great for an office/tv room, and a very quiet, sound proof deluxe master bedroom with a private deck overlooking the back yard. There is plenty of free off-street parking with storage for one car in the barn. Do you own horses? How about dogs? You'll love this space! It's perfect for animal-lovers, and the owners encourage them. There's a horse corral off the barn with space for up to 4 horses. If you have dogs, great! We love 'em. As long as they're well trained, this is the place and the neighborhood for dogs. Cats are welcome too. The house is on 3.5 acres of land abutting town land. There are many trails to hike, so if you like the outdoors this is perfect for you! We are looking for a professional couple, grad students or teachers. We are musicians, so we encourage other musicians to apply, however this is not good rehearsal space and we have a quiet time after 10pm. There is a wide Goshen stone patio out front for your lawn furniture/table, and plenty of space for your barbecue grille. We are 1/2 a mile from the PVTA bus line, and 12 minutes to UMass campus by car, 20 minutes to Northampton center. Neighborhood Description Very quiet, very private. The neighbors all have older children or none. There are many artists living in this area, professional people and college professors. We have no college students or small children, so it is a very peaceful area.
