Quietly tucked away up on a hill, this nearly 6 acre rectangular lot is waiting for someone to call it home! Great for building, camping, parking your RV, or just spending time in nature. This gently sloping parcel is mostly wooded, with a clearing at the center, plenty of ferns, and a well established driveway that leads you in from town maintained Ridge road. It has an incredibly private feel to it, but is also not far from towns like Hamden and Delhi for shopping and local eateries. Only 2.5 hours from the GWB. Nature calls!
