Top 10 Country Homes & Horse Properties for Feb 7, 2020

I take my clients seriously. I take pride in doing a great job, and I love what I do...

The groundhog didn't see his shadow this year, so our longing for spring is tinged with waves of hope that are still cruelly punctuated by winter blasts. Never mind, we'll get there, and soon we'll be awash with dozens of country homes for the taking. Until then, here are the early contenders, from Ashby to Westwood. If you don't see your perfect place here, I'd love to help you find it.
