About this home
Secluded serenity meets unmatched convenience on this sprawling 54+/- wooded acres in beautiful and historic Bennington, VT! Nestled among a lush mix of hard and softwoods teeming with wildlife, the property features a charming quarter-acre pond, perfect as a future homestead centerpiece, with your home set back just beyond the pond. Good access via a paved, town-maintained road leading to level Class IV gravel frontage (gravel portion is not plowed or maintained by the town – 400+/- ft). A gate is currently in place, but the town will remove or relocate upon request. Essential utilities are highly accessible: town water runs along the frontage with confirmed adequate pressure for development, while power and high-speed cable internet sit just 250 feet west. State mapping indicates favorable conditions for a wastewater system and a previous purchaser performed soils test indicating a 6-bedroom residential mound system but opted not to purchase; they wanted a home much closer to the road, where the State maps indicate a small wetland. This should be easily avoidable. Experience the best of both worlds - a secluded, off-the-beaten-path atmosphere with immediate access to the Route 7 corridor. You are just minutes from historic downtown Bennington’s shops, dining, and the iconic Bennington Battle Monument. For outdoor lovers, enjoy proximity to the Green Mountain National Forest and premier skiing at Mount Snow and Stratton. Whether dreaming of an expansive recreational haven or a brilliant investment opportunity, this versatile acreage is ready for your vision.
