You will feel your blood pressure drop as you follow the curving lane to the whimsical, but artfully positioned collection of buildings, gardens, standing stones, stone walls & walkways that make up the âbuilt landscapeâ on this 22.52acre parcel. The buildings, a main small house (20â4x20â4) attached to an octagonal wooden yurt (11â5 per side) , a two story barn (24âx20â) with studio/office space, a rustic cabin11â6x10â6 & woodshed/ run in shed 12âx12â provide a solid homestead. Heated by propane & wood with septic system & drilled well, this is a real place to live simply.

The balance of the land is bisected by the Canoe Brook & offers unspoiled woodland near The Putney School ski-trails.
