Sharon, Connecticut, in partly rural Litchfield County, is where you'll find beautiful greenery along the Housatonic River and a portion of the Appalachian Trail. Also nearby is the Housatonic Meadows State Park, where you can enjoy performances at the Sharon Playhouse, long walks, and birding in the wooded Sharon Audubon Center. For dining, there are several breweries and taverns throughout the area.

Sharon has drawn past and present famous residents, like the late William F. Buckley, Jr., Jasper Johns, Kevin Bacon, and Michael J. Fox. If you would like to join them, consider this re-purposed, cross-gabled barn built in 1920 at 234 Gay St., on the market for $700,000.

The three-bedroom, two-bath house has an open plan living area with exposed beams and an extra-high ceiling.
