Wed like to thank The Week magazine for choosing The Ark as a featured property for their article, The Best Properties for Animal Lovers.
Great pick! The Ark is a 30 acre horse farm set in a serene country setting only 25 miles from Boston. It has all the necessities for a well-managed small farm: seven stall barn, heated indoor and regulation outdoor dressage arenas, workshop, garage with storage, greenhouse, and ample parking for horse trailers. It also has one of the prettiest houses weve seen a charming antique core and an elegant barn addition, with easy access to let the dogs out to run around. Lots of great walking in conserved land in the area to keep you and your companions fit!
