The Yankee Candle compound is for sale.

And all we want to know is: WHAT DOES IT SMELL LIKE?

Built by Yankee Candle company founder Michael James Kittredge II and located in Leverett, the Yankee Candle compound is a 60 acre property has over 120 THOUSAND square feet and includes a main home, guest houses, two car barns, four tennis courts, a nine-hole golf course, spa, and a 55,000 square foot building with an indoor pool and arcade.

But what does it SMELL LIKE, PEOPLE?

Money. We’re guessing money. But we have some suggestions. See the rooms below and our ideas for the perfect scent. Unfortunately, there’s no candle that smells like “millionaire” or “cash”.

Anyway, check it out:

All for the low, low price of $23,000,000.

There’s a bowling alley and a wine cellar. (May we suggest Yankee Candle’s “Beautiful Day” or “Merlot”)

And the kitchen has FIVE islands and SEVEN sinks. (We think “Cafe Au Fresco” and “Pumpkin Banana Scone” would go well here!)

And wait, there’s a WATER PARK. (Perfect for “Coconut Island“)

AND A THEATER/BAR/CONCERT SPACE (It’s a 4,000-square-foot stage where Hall & Oates, the Doobie Brothers, and KC and the Sunshine Band have performed.) “Movie Night” or “On Tap” are MADE for these rooms.

Here’s the listing:

12 Cheapest Places To Live in Massachusetts

There aren’t many places in Massachusetts that you’d call “cheap” when it comes to rent and mortgage payments.

Sure, Boston is exorbitantly high, as are a number of the surrounding towns. But if you look in the right places, renting an apartment can be “cheaper” than the norm.

Rent.com did a recent survey and found where the cheapest towns are in the Bay State when it comes to living. These numbers are based on the average monthly rent of a one bedroom apartment.

Let’s see if your town comes in as one of Massachusetts’ bargains.
