We'd like to keep it under $250 and taxes under 10K.

Not looking for a "statement house" - we had that already. Just a simple, convenient home with a functional kitchen and two full baths, and a finished, heated basement. A mountain or stream view would be lovely.

I’ve noticed your requirements are more than one bath and you wrote about a finished basement. What are the full requirements? How many square feet? Fenced yard for dogs? Attached garage? 2 car garage? Can it be a 1970s kitchen and baths. Are you ok with well, septic system, and no city gas? How far do you want to be from a grocery store? A hospital? A Level I trauma center in a major hospital?

In Vermont, the state school tax part of property taxes is means tested so most retirees will get some tax relief. Massachusetts has proposition 2 1/2 so you can’t have $10k in property taxes on a $250,000 house. New Hampshire varies wildly by town. You’d pay $10k on a $250k house in Claremont, for example.
