You want to spend up to 900k for a house in the woods with access to a downtownish area and near a major airport.

The woodsy part is confusing to me because that implies wilderness or remote areas which are limited to a few areas of the state that might be an hour from major airports but they aren't near Walmarts. From Boston, you want the 495 belt or further.

Not knowing your age and whether you want to be near people that age, but based on the attached link of 2021 median house prices, here are my top three suggestions:

  1. Milford / Bellingham / Hopkinton area
  2. Carver / Rockland / Bridgewater area
  3. Burlington/ Billerica area

It depends on how woodsy they want. There are places on the North Shore like Hamilton, Wenham, Topsfield, Ipswich, or even the northern part of Beverly that can get pretty woodsy and are within an hour of Logan. These are not full rural areas of course, but they are woodsy for a suburban area and many houses have woodsy areas abutting their property. I would suggest North Shore or up towards the Merrimack Valley if getting to Logan is a priority. You don't want to be going to Logan regularly from west or south of the city.
