Any New Hampshire yurters here?

[MG1917]

I am almost done with my overseas tour and am headed back stateside for at least two years… possibly permanently if I decide to retire early (which is looking more and more attractive as each day goes by). I have family in Western Mass and New Hampshire, and I am thinking of settling down in New Hampshire (in the Cheshire County area). I grew up in the area, and visit almost every year for Christmas, so I’m somewhat familiar with winter conditions, although I haven’t lived there year-round since I was a child.

I’d love to hear from any New Hampshirites here about your yurt experience, such as choosing a yurt,

heating

options, dealing with

moisture

and/or mold... and especially permitting. I don’t have land picked out yet or anything concrete planned, but I’ll be home in July or August and might start planning, looking at land, etc.
