Best areas in RI for nature (Charlestown, Pascoag: house, buy, living in)

[Back to NE]

Hello everyone,

I plan to move back to New England (from Washington, DC) in about 5 years when I can give up the rat-race, buy an affordable free-standing house, and enjoy life.

I would love to find a house that is nestled in a natural area. Perhaps it would be called a "nature reserve" or national park - basically, an area that is better for birds and wildlife than it is for humans.

Can anyone recommend any towns/areas in Rhode Island that fill this bill (pun intended)?

Thanks in advance!

Foster or Glocester.

In general, the western section of the state is less populous.

Yes, the western part, especially the northwest or southwest corners of the state.

The southern part of the state (Washington County) I recently saw something about being in the top 30 places to live nationally. Quiet, near the ocean- pretty low stress low key area.

Living in Chepachet, I can recommend the NW part of the state. If you want solitude and nature turn to the Buck Hill area of Burrillville. Any part of Route 100 past Pascoag will fit your needs. West and NW of Route 102 in Glocester is a "back to nature area". Many lakes are located here with trout fishing in unstocked rivers! Both towns have large protected tracts of land owned by either the State or the towns. All sorts of wildlife. You could see a bear or even a rare (for this area)moose.
