Tucked nearly 900 feet off the road at the end of a winding wooded driveway, 17 Burgess Road offers a setting that is increasingly hard to find. Set on 25 private acres in Foster, this property invites a lifestyle centered around space, nature, and possibility. The Cape-style home offers 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a finished walkout lower level, and a screened sunroom overlooking the surrounding landscape. Outside, the grounds reveal the true character of this property. Wander established trails through the woods, enjoy open clearings, tend to the greenhouse, harvest from fruit trees and berry plantings, or simply appreciate the peace and quiet that comes with this remarkable setting. A detached barn and additional outbuildings provide flexibility for hobbies, storage, equipment, and future uses, while the detached 2-car garage adds everyday practicality. AR (Agricultural/Residential) zoning and expansive acreage create opportunities for those seeking a homestead lifestyle, recreational retreat, or room to expand and make the property their own. Whether you're looking for privacy, self-sufficiency, outdoor adventure, or simply a place to disconnect from the pace of everyday life, 17 Burgess Road delivers a rare combination of land, setting, and possibility.
Fabulous Foster - dynamite Colonial with 25 acres, 900' wooded driveway, barn, greenhouse, multi-fuel furnace, fruit trees and berries, many trails and open areas to explore all that and more located on this exceptional property.
