Wellesley is home to Massachusetts Marketplace Festival

On Saturday, August 7th, the town of Wellesley held its annual farmer’s market and artisan product fair.  Over 60 vendors showcased good such as homemade tomato sauce, natural skin care products, Italian ice, and of course, fruits and vegetables grown by local farms!

The festival was held in the middle of 36 lush acres of the Elm Bank Reservation in Wellesley. The reservation is also home to the Festival’s host, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society.

The Massachusetts Marketplace Festival is a great example of sustainability in MetroWest Boston. In addition, Wellesley is also home to one of the best botanical gardens in Massachusetts — the Wellesley College Botanical Gardens. Go green in Wellesley!

Fall River Real Estate: That Lighthouse You Always Wanted

Next time Tom in Payroll starts bragging about his latest eBay find, you can
impress your coworkers by telling them about the lighthouse you won from a Fall River real estate auction. You can put in a bid for this unique piece of real estate by visiting the Federal property surplus auction site.

Borden Flats Lighthouse in Fall River MA

Borden Flats Lighthouse in Fall River, MA

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Borden Flats Lighthouse in Fall River, Massachusetts is built of cast iron and brick and is 50 feet tall. Better make sure the family canoe is in good condition, too, because the lighthouse is only accessible by boat. The only downside to owning this unique piece of Fall River real estate is that you can’t paint a sprawling New England Patriots logo on it because it must be maintained under Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation.

Really, who WOULDN’T want to buy the Borden Flats Lighthouse?  It’s a mystery why Federal, state, and local governments as well as countless nonprofit organizations didn’t scoop up the lighthouse when it was offered to them for free.

To browse through homes for sale that can be reached by more than just a boat, visit the Greater Fall River Real Estate website. In addition to the most recent real estate listings in Fall River, you can also find an extensive collection of home buying and home selling tips.
