The fifth home in this week’s roundup of the most expensive recent Massachusetts home sales takes a different tack with its backyard. The Newton home offers rugged change of pace from the neo-Modernist style of landscape design so in vogue with Massachusetts’ wealthy. It trades right angles and vast expanses of sun-drenched, close-cropped grass for the jagged chaos of slate pavers hand-fit together and a generous tree canopy.
