196 Center Street

Welcome to 196 Center Street in the heart of West Hartland, where modern comfort meets the wild beauty of the Northwest Hills. From the moment you step inside, you can feel the care and pride that went into bringing this home to life. But what makes this property truly special lies just beyond the front door. Tucked away on a quiet country road, the house is surrounded by thousands of acres of preserved state land, creating a natural sanctuary that few homes can offer. The Tunxis State Forest stretches right into the backyard, and just beyond it sits the People's State Forest, a haven for hunters, hikers, and anyone who craves fresh air and open space. This is a place where mornings are quiet, where you'll wake to the sounds of the woods, where the forest greets you, the water calms you, and life slows down in all the best ways. A short walk down the side street leads to Howells Pond, a hidden gem perfect for fishing, boating, or simply escaping the rush of the world. Deer wander through the property like old friends, wild turkeys and moose have been spotted on trail cams, and the world-renowned Farmington River is close by, calling anglers from near and far for some of the best trout fishing in the region. This is more than a house. It's a story waiting to be lived. A front porch coffee as deer graze nearby. A sunset boat ride on the pond just down the road. A night sky full of stars you can actually see. Plan ahead, you do not want to miss this one! Strict viewing schedule The property has solar panels. Sellers have relocated out of state and prefer an as-is sale. Sellers choose the standard GHAR 5-page contract.
