It's the distinct seasons and the transitions. I've lived in places that are perpetually green and have their own charms. For those who were born here, New England calls out to you even on the other side of the world.

There is like 1000 miles between Indiana Denver that just plain sucks! Drive it you will see

How does that change my comment?

You said “so is the rest of the United States” when I can assure you that a whole swath of the United States is not beautiful or desirable. Dead cornfields and dark grey drab weather for many months with subzero temps. I’ve lived it. The United States is best in the Rockies (where I live now) and New England. I’m not sure I could break it down more simple….

New England is probably the most beautiful place in the country- There are some "spots" that are pretty in other parts, but to have to have 8 or 9 states that all have breathtaking scenery is rare.

If CT had a proper mountain it would be by far the most beautiful state in the nation

Moved here from california. Been around the states and abroad. I can say CT is probably the best state to live in because of its beauty. Desert is kinda pretty but nothing beats lush dense forests, clouds and cute old towns

I will pay for dinner and bring all the booze you want. Also the green plant if you’re into it. Just to have an awesome conversation and looking out at that view.

Connecticut IS beautiful. Don't tell anyone and keep encouraging the haters to move the eff on. I just want to look at views like this and pet cows.

I would 100% fly my paramotor from a backyard like that... I'm envious.

Most beautiful state. Perfect balance between mild civilized tameness and unspoiled natural splendor. No other state strikes quite the same equilibrium.
Killer yard man.

I mean holy shit, you have an amazing property to begin with lol. Very nice
I try so hard to keep up the grass, do you use weed treatment and sprinkler system??

Two years ago there was a 140 foot, 10’ wide trench dug through there. It’s surprising how much Lawn Science helped. We are on a well, so no regular irrigation, though we did water the hell out of it in 2021. We stopped when the drought hit and it was mostly yellow.
I’m really frugal and it was a tough decision to pay someone to test and treat the lawn but has been worth it.
We mow it ourselves and do all other property care on our own. It’s become a hobby I guess.

Nice. Yeah it’s a lot of work but looks great, it’s tough to get it that point and then maintain.

Its sad how many people in this forum are probably looking at this view and thinking, you know you can fit a lot of affordable housing on that property.

Looks like a good place for a low income housing project.
