Andover pairs wide-open hillsides and quiet backroads with easy access to some of the region’s best recreation and everyday conveniences. Tucked in Windsor County, it sits minutes from the ski lifts and dining in Ludlow, the classic village greens of Chester, the playhouse and galleries of Weston, and the backcountry lanes of Londonderry.
Outdoor enthusiasts have a full season-to-season menu. Carve turns at Okemo Mountain Resort via the official Okemo site’s snow reports, or chase steeps and old-school vibe at Magic Mountain. Trail lovers head for the Green Mountain National Forest and tranquil paddles or swims at Lowell Lake State Park. When the snow flies, the maintained corridors of VAST link riders to hundreds of miles of snowmobile routes across the region.
Families appreciate Andover’s connection to the Two Rivers Supervisory Union, with bus routes serving Chester-Andover Elementary and Green Mountain Union High School, plus nearby youth sports, libraries, and after-school programs across neighboring towns. Arts and culture are close at hand, too: the acclaimed Weston Theater Company stages professional productions a short drive away.
Housing ranges from sunlit farmhouses on acreage to energy-efficient new builds tucked along country roads. Daily errands, coffee, and restaurants are within a quick trip to Chester or Ludlow, while home remains peaceful and starlit. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can quickly introduce you to a top local real estate agent who knows Andover’s backroads, market rhythm, and hidden gems.
