Occasionally, the urge to “Walden Pond” it out of city life wins and you decide to move to a log home on a two-acre lot in Warwick surrounded by a protected state forest.

All that, plus a three-stall barn awaits you at 409 Gale Road in Warwick, near the Vermont and New Hampshire borders. This haven of tranquility, built in 1988 and expanded in 1994, has lived several lives but at its heart, it’s a chance to get away from it all. Or, if you must leave, you’re just a few miles from Route 2.

Whether you’re looking to live out your horse girl dreams — the current owner also has alpacas — or for a cozy but incredibly spacious retreat, 409 Gale Road is your gateway to hiking trails, leaf-peeping, and wildlife spotting right from your front door.

The home’s unique layout and additions make it ideal for multiple uses, including multi-generational living, studio space, workshop, and so much more. It boasts more than 3,400 square feet of living space, so there’s no chance of feeling cramped. Custom cherry cabinets and woodwork lend a rustic warmth and patina to the interior, and tall cathedral ceilings add to the openness of the space. Large picture windows throughout allow you to experience the majesty of the seasons changing. You can also enjoy the latter from the sunroom or multiple porches on the property.

In the family room, the home’s piece de resistance is a massive fieldstone hearth you’ll want to curl up next to forever.

The sale of the property, on the market for $568,000, is represented by Harriet Paine with Cohn & Company, 413-475-4203.
