About This Home

As of September 2024

A private retreat on 22 ac., this whimsical house with octagonal wing includes a heated 2-story artist’s studio, perfect for nature lovers and those looking for a change of pace. Backed by peaceful forest, sited on a south facing portion of the land, overlooking established gardens, one can hear the soothing sound of the beautiful Canoe Brook below, which bisects the property. Enjoy a sauna, or hillside trail leading to the brook and access to nearby Putney School ski- trails. The eat-in kitchen includes a spiral staircase to two adjoining bedrooms. The mudroom entry connects the delightful octagonal space with an open concept living room, bed/bath and kitchenette, perfect for guests. Other features include a small barn for equipment storage, stonework and paths, balconies and walkout basement, with laundry room. Putney is a vibrant place to live, offering farm stands, orchards, festivals, private and public schools, artist studios, a food coop, general store, music venue, library, bike & ski shop and the CT River. For skiers there’s Mount Snow, Bromley, Magic, Stratton and Okemo mountains. West Hill is a beautiful place to call home.
