***LOCATION*** If your looking for a Quiet, Rural setting to build your Dream Home on, just minutes from Wellesley Square, nestled between Rte 9 and 95, your Search is Over! This 47,045 sf cleared lot abuts 352 acres of the Ridge Hill Reservation that hosts wildlife unheard of near a city on a private road. There are over 120 species of birds alone in the Reservation that you can observe while walking the many trails there. For the really ambitious there is a 4.6 mile loop. The town water supply and snowplowing are provided by the Town of Wellesley, while the private sewer is overseen by the Town of Needham. A proposed house plan and a 5 bedroom septic has been approved by the town. There is an existing 4 bedroom system on site that will need to pass Title V. Buyer/Buyer's agent assumes responsibility to perform all due diligence, confirm facts, data and research regarding any permits, applications and filings related to the property. Don't wait, this property won't last long.

Babson Park, located between Wellesley Square and Newton Highlands, is a residential and campus-oriented Wellesley neighborhood with wooded hillsides and a collegiate greenbelt. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Babson College campus core near the Horn Library and Trim Dining Hall, where brick academic buildings, playing fields, and pedestrian paths set the daily rhythm. Sorenson Center for the Arts and the Weissman Foundry frame a cultural throughline that feels distinctly local. Streets around College Drive and Forest Street mix mid-century colonials with newer townhomes, often set back behind mature trees. Sidewalk walks link to small ponds and conservation edges, giving the area a quiet, outdoorsy cadence. Commuter patterns orbit the nearby Riverside MBTA station and Route 9 corridors without turning the neighborhood into a commercial strip.
