Estate

Last week I received a real-estate firm's glossy, photo-filled catalog of what they call "extraordinary properties" in the mid-Atlantic area. Of course I immediately paged through to see whether their real-estate agents had any listings in Unionville. None. The closest was a 72-acre farm at 912 Providence Road, Willistown, with eight bedrooms, an underground shooting range, lit tennis courts, a heated greenhouse and a 25-stall barn. Asking price: $17,950,000, reduced from $19.5 million.
I do hope the shooting range is soundproofed. When I was a reporter I often visited a police station with a basement range and the noise and smell drove the secretaries crazy.
