Properties Near 37 Fred Houghton Road Putney, VT

Just in time! So special! This unusual offering was a beloved family complex for many years. The land is a delight of mixed hardwoods and evergreens, easy to walk and gently rolling for intrigue. Walk to "downtown" Putney for the small town energy, pop in the auto for a short drive to everything else...interstate access, NH, skiing...hospitals and services.....or tuck in at home for a private get away. Wonderful for either primary or second homers. Mostly paved road access is great for spring travel. The structures are unsafe so do not enter. They will need to be replaced with something you love, but well worth the effort.

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!

This is a unique lot! Not only is it a rare, in town Putney village lot but the topography and adventure you will be surrounded in, will pique your senses everyday. We begin with a ROW driveway, which sets you back from the road for ultimate privacy. There is a 3-bedroom septic design, a well quote, and power is on the road. Beyond this is where the adventure begins; there is a gully that leads down to Sacketts Brook. On either side of the gully are "fingers" of wooded land that drop off on both sides and jut out high over the Brook. With some clearing, you'd have amazing views. For the sure-footed, you can make your way down to the Brook and potentially connect to local bike trails. Set up a hammock and recharge all of your senses as you revel in the solitude and uniqueness of what surrounds you.

Location is key, and locations like this don't come along 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. There's a State Wastewater Permit with a complete septic design in place, so there's no waiting for that process. 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. Town documents show this parcel might be subdividable. When you go, please don't block the driveway and don't go up past the green ribbon on a tree on the right.
