Estate-sized parcel comprised of nearly 40 acres with additional development potential. The private road access has been augmented with the purchase of an additional 16 foot strip making the easement over 60 feet wide. Located very close to the east side of town including schools and shopping, this parcel offers excellent privacy from the road with some pre-building legwork already completed including a perk test, wetlands exception, soil erosion permit, and driveway information. The topography is heavily wooded, level, and high and dry. Excavation and some work has been completed on a site for a pole barn. It is adjacent to hundreds of acres of state land, offering wonderful recreation opportunities with many trails, including the VASA, nearby. The Rasho Road snowmobile trailhead is just down the road. The public park and beach on Arbutus Lake, and boat launches on Arbutus and Spider Lakes are within 3 miles!
