The Avara Residences from the air in early autumn: a private lane enters through a fieldstone gateway and divides around the woods to six black A-frame houses, each in its own clearing with a lawn and old stone walls, and a small A-frame clubhouse with two pickleball courts near the entrance

Tap a number to see the homesite.

Five of the six homesites are available. Gilt outlines are open; pale ones are reserved.

1.6 acres in all, with the clubhouse and courts by the gate.

New Canaan has built modern houses in its woods since the 1940s.

Avara carries that line on: six A-frames with glass gables, black standing-seam roofs and wood-lined porches, each on its own homesite and turned so that its glass gable faces the trees.

Photographic image of the Version 1 A-frame on a late October afternoon: the black standing-seam A-frame with its glass gable set back under the porch shell, the trim in dark orange wood, a wide black entry door, the black-board wing with its roof deck on the left behind a clipped hedge, a manicured lawn in front, the drive on the right and a misty woodland in peak fall colour behind, under a soft sky breaking into gold

The residents' clubhouse: a small black A-frame with a glass gable under a wood-trimmed porch shell and a low black wing, a fieldstone terrace with lounge chairs and a fire table, and the pickleball courts beside it at the edge of autumn woods

A clubhouse for six households.

A bar and lounge under an A-frame roof, a stone terrace with a fire table, and two pickleball courts beside it. It sits by the gate, a short walk from every house.
