Fire damaged home creates opportunity for possibly two new homesites. Beautiful meadows, stone walls, open sunny land, enough road frontage (~810') and acreage (13+ Acres) to split into two buildable lots awaits someone looking to build and possibly an investment project down the road. Developers, this could also be of interest to you! Passed Title V 7/25, 3-Bedroom Septic w/ new D-Box (2025) and replaced tank (1997). A well is also on the property! An additional, detached, undamaged 2 car garage makes for a perfect storage unit while building. Oakham fire dept. saved the home but there is excessive smoke damage. The home could possibly be salvaged by gutting & redoing. No fire retardant foams were used per Chief. (An attached garage & breezeway were destroyed.) All information needs to be verified by the buyer. Buildings, septic, well, driveway and land are being sold AS IS, WHERE IS. The "neighbor" across the street is 65+ acres of DCR land! This is a must see! Must make appt.

Beautiful setting! This Circa 1800 Cape proudly sits on one of the prettiest homesteads in Central Massachusetts. Old sugar maples line the road and driveway approaching this picturesque home privately set back from the road, yet not secluded. Over 13 acres and 810'+ of road frontage across from 120 acres of State owned Wildlife Management Area. Great potential as a horse property or small farm with large hay fields surrounded by stone walls. The well maintained home has a spacious 13'x26' living room with working fireplace, open and bright kitchen with hardwood floor, island and laundry closet, first floor office area and 9'x24' easterly facing screened porch, perfect for enjoying a sunny morning breakfast. 3 Second floor bedrooms plus 2 full baths and a huge walk-in closet. Replacement windows, central air on second floor, attached 24'x32' garage with storage above and a detached 2 car garage/workshop/barn. Easy commute toward Worcester yet far enough away to enjoy mother nature.
