With crisp temperatures and mountain elevations that permit long-range views, the Northeast offers a bounty of opportunities for taking in September and October's changing colors. Below is a look at three residences where each could be a home base for a fall-foliage tour.

  • Liberty, N.Y.
  • Bartlett, N.H.
  • Norway, Maine

PLACE/PRICE: Liberty, N.Y./$799,000

PROPERTY TAX*: Approximately $14,000

THE PROPERTY: A 4,488-square-foot home with 5 bedrooms, 3 baths, on 72.44 acres approached by a winding wooded drive.

DESCRIPTION: A 3-acre spring-fed pond, a tennis court and three streams are among the highlights of this property. Other features include a wine cellar and a smokehouse.

NOTABLE: Miles of hardwood forest surround this country retreat in the Catskill Mountains region of New York. There is a solarium with large windows for enjoying the scenery. Visit Iloveny.com to find out when the state's leaves will be in peak season.
