Located on 6 acres at the edge of town, this 1,200 sq. ft. rugged wooden yurt shaped house offers a private, peaceful retreat with the perfect balance of rustic cabin character and modern convenience. Inside, the open-concept layout features a warm, all-wood interior anchored by a central wood stove and a distinct sunken living room. Above, the loft bedroom includes a large skylight designed for stargazing from bed. While the home delivers the unique aesthetic of a yurt, it operates with the comfort and reliability of standard modern utilities. The acreage offers distinct spaces to explore and utilize. A short, scenic walk down a wooded path leads directly to Otter Brook running through the backyard woods. Nearer to the main house, a freestanding outbuilding provides a blank canvas for a seasonal art studio, yoga space, or writer's retreat. For those looking to homestead, water and power are already in place at the paddock area, making it ready for a hobby farm. With its eclectic design and distinct features, this property is an ideal setup for a standout short-term rental destination or a private homestead—all just minutes from downtown Peterborough. Peterborough is known for its quaint down town full of shops and restaurants and for its arts and music events.
