Special places don't come on the market often and this is a very special place indeed. Located on a private road just off Holland Hill Road in Putney, the land features a gently sloping terrain bordered by magnificent stone walls and dotted with majestic maples as well as ash, oak, and other hardwoods. From the height of the land there could be views to New Hampshire across the ridges to the east. Just minutes to Putney Village, Putney School, Greenwood School, and Interstate 91, making quick access to Boston and Hartford. A perfect escape property or a place to build your dream home.
Magical! Full of mushrooms, wildlife, beautiful stones, lovely trees and, of course, a stream of your own! Mostly bounded by stone walls, built with amazing skill and tenacity, by generations of hardworking farmers...you have to appreciate their joy in the land. Look carefully as there is a small stone foundation...the remains of?...sheep shed? shelter for the header? a get away from the hubbub? With clearing there can be a view out over the neighboring field all the way to NH. A surprise! The owners built a tent platform over 20 years ago and it does need a new top, but the foundation piers seem sound and strait. In 2004 the soils were tested, likely needing to be updated, but encouraging for an in ground system. The land is beautiful with lots of options for a house site, but house or no, this is a magical spot worth calling your own. And in the end, there is Putney, and Putney stands alone!
As everyone knows location is key, and locations like this don't come along very often. Almost at the top of Putney Mountain is this 5+/- acres of mature hard and soft woods, including red oak, birch, beech, pine and hemlock, just waiting to host your full or part time dwelling. The existing driveway, which is shared with the seller, offers access to the length of the parcel. A State approved Wastewater Permit with a complete septic design is in process as well. The land has a mixed terrain with seasonal views, and stone walls grace the boundary and crisscross the parcel. This property is a true gem you won't want to miss. When you go, please don't block the driveway and don't go up past the green ribbon on a tree on the right.
