The home itself is a true work of art, infused with distinctive Southwest-inspired flair and exceptional craftsmanship. Throughout the property, you’ll find custom, hand-forged ironwork created by the late Nol Putnam, a widely respected artist-blacksmith whose work earned national recognition. Over a career spanning more than four decades, Putnam helped revive traditional blacksmithing in America, producing intricate, one-of-a-kind pieces using centuries-old techniques. His work includes notable commissions such as the gates at the Washington National Cathedral, as well as private estates, reflecting a rare level of artistry and precision. Known as both an artisan and philosopher, he approached ironwork as a fusion of art, mythology, and craftsmanship, often drawing inspiration from nature and classical symbolism. His influence is felt throughout the home, where each hand-forged element—from railings to fixtures and architectural accents—adds depth, authenticity, and a timeless quality that cannot be replicated. Adding to the property’s unique appeal is a second structure—the original blacksmith forge—once actively used by Putnam himself. Rich with character and history, this standalone building offers exceptional flexibility for future use, whether as a workshop, garage, artist studio, or creative retreat. It presents a rare opportunity to preserve a meaningful piece of local craftsmanship while adapting the space to suit modern needs. Rich in story and soul, 45 Shootz Hollow offers more than just a residence—it offers a legacy. With its blend of artisan craftsmanship, natural beauty, and access to some of the finest experiences in the Blue Ridge, this is a truly one-of-a-kind offering.
