About this home
Unlock the potential of this spectacular 58.1 +/- acre woodland property in historic Bennington. The groundwork for your future home or getaway is already laid with a State-approved wastewater permit in place for a three-bedroom single-family residence, allowing you the flexibility to design your build. Further simplifying your plans, the property offers the rare advantage of connecting to the municipal water supply at the road. Essential utilities are right at your fingertips, with power readily available along the town-maintained, plowed Chapel Road near utility pole #25, and Xfinity providing high-speed cable internet, TV, and phone services. An existing roughed-in driveway provides a solid starting point for accessing the expansive acreage. Backing directly up to the 926-acre state-owned Bald Mountain recreational area, this woodland is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. The diverse landscape features approximately 30 acres of manageable hardwood timber and 28 acres of softwoods on the higher ground. Beech and red oak provide excellent wildlife habitat, while existing woods roads offer private trails for cross-country skiing, hiking, and ATVing with distant views of the Green Mountain National Forest. The land benefits from reduced taxes by being enrolled in Vermont's Current Use program, with six acres thoughtfully excluded to accommodate your development. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Bennington, you have quick access to local dining, the Bennington Museum, and the historic Bennington Battle Monument. Seize the rare opportunity to craft your perfect Vermont lifestyle on this expansive woodland canvas!
This gorgeous 58.1 +/- acre woodland offers distant mountain views of the Green Mountain National Forest with excellent potential for a house site in the lovely southern Vermont town of Bennington! Perfect for an outdoorsman, the expansive woodland backs up to the state-owned, 926-acre Bald Mountain recreational area. Beech and Red Oak offer great mast crops for wildlife. Existing woods roads provide easy access to much of the acreage & offer private recreational trails for cross-country skiing, hiking, ATVing & the like. Preliminary 2018 soil testing indicate conditions suitable for a state-approved, private wastewater system. There is an existing, roughed-in driveway in need of a final topcoat that extends to the viable soil testing locations. Power is available along the road frontage of the town-maintained and plowed Chapel Road, with utility pole #25 located diagonally from the existing driveway. Consolidated Communications offers Cable TV & high-speed internet to homes located along Chapel Road. Approximately 30 acres of manageable hardwood timber with potential future value comprise the westerly portion of the land. Offering ideal deer habitat conditions, there is 28 acres of predominantly softwoods on the high ground of the property. The property is not enrolled in Current Use but is likely eligible. Conveniently located just minutes to the downtown Bennington hub. Your private recreational paradise awaits!
