Change is coming, again, to one of Madera County’s most historic properties.

Putney Ranch — 92 acres off Malum Ridge Road between North Fork and Bass Lake — has been purchased by a group of Californians who intend to use it as a camp for dancers, singers and perhaps yoga practitioners.

The land will soon sport a new name: Cedar Springs. The new owners plan to rehabilitate some of the buildings on the site and perhaps add yurts and tents for summer activities.
