About this home

Rare opportunity to develop probably the only remaining 4 acre lot that is a 5 minute walk to downtown, yet in a rural private setting. This wooded lot has some gorgeous large mature trees that could be featured in the new landscape plan. The level build site provides the ability to create a gracious estate with a couple options for the building site. There is potential to create a sprawling estate with an expansive lawn area. Beautiful ledge outcroppings and forest paths help to maintain the feel of the natural surrounding. BOH approved six bedroom septic system design ready to go. Forster road is a private road with and annual HOA $400 fee for road maintenance. Town plows and provides trash pick up. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to build your dream home amongst other notable and significant properties! Accompanied showings only. Please no trespassing on the shared driveway!
