For the outdoorsmen and outdoorswomen who’ve grown tired of hopping in a car to go on a hike, there’s a solution in the form of a sprawling suburban home. This colonial in Holliston has access to miles of trails directly from the backyard. The property borders the serene Wenakeening Woods—108 acres of preserved woodlands and marked trails. The woods lead to the Holliston Rail Trail—a 6.7 mile long stretch from Sherborn to Milford. It’s touted as being one of only a few homes in such a close distance to trails in the MetroWest area. And to boot, it has a butler’s pantry, a screen porch, and a fireplace in the great room.
