We ordered that postcard. It says it's from the official site of the Sunset House.

If it is from Sunset Hill House, removed after I worked there in the mid-60s, then the barn on the left must be the gift shop we'd go to that sold magificent candles. Long before Yankee Candle came into popularity, the candles in that barn were unusual and amazing. As the thick candle burned, you were told to push in the front and back sides together and the outside (left and right) edges would scallop/wave out as the wax melted and flowed out.

Here are a few pictures from slightly different vantage points. Tree growth, power lines, and limited time made it a bit difficult to take pictures comparable to the OP's.
From the official viewpoint at Sunset Hill House:
By eyeballing it, the spot appears to be a little further to the south from this vantage point, approximately the same elevation.

In case anyone is curious about an update, my parents found where the photo was taken. They found the stone wall in the photo, some of the rocks still line up. It's at the intersection of Timber Lane and Lafayette Road. Here's a link to the google street view with the wall.
