Exceptional opportunity to build or reimagine on 2.5 level, serene acres in one of Newtown's most desirable locations. Set on a picturesque property surrounded by natural beauty, this offering is ideal for builders, contractors, or end-users looking to create a custom estate. Following a house fire in winter 2025, the original portion of the home has been professionally demolished and removed. A newer section of the residence remains and, per the Town of Newtown, is structurally sound-offering potential for renovation, expansion, or incorporation into a new design. Valuable existing improvements include a septic system (2022), well, in-ground heated saltwater pool, shed, swing set, and whole-house generator (condition unknown)-providing a strong foundation for future development. The property benefits from a grandfathered footprint, allowing flexibility with setbacks and offering a rare opportunity to maximize building potential. Whether you envision a full-scale new construction or a thoughtful restoration, this property presents a unique chance to create something special in a sought-after setting-just minutes to Newtown's charming town center, with convenient access to commuting routes. Property being sold as-is. Buyer to conduct due diligence.
