About this home
PRICE DROP!!!! Welcome to a place where the sound of the river becomes part of your daily rhythm. This 4.7-acre parcel with an end-of-road location offers an extraordinary 1,400 feet of frontage on the Williams River, creating a private and tranquil retreat just five minutes from the quintessential Vermont charm of Chester Village. The land unfolds beautifully: wide, flat, sun-filled fields stretch toward the river, softened by a scattering of mature trees that add shade, character, and seasonal color. Set along gentle bends in the river, the property feels open yet intimate, an ideal setting for gardens, gatherings, or simply relaxing under the sky. Wildlife is abundant here: deer grazing at dusk, fox weaving through the meadow, and birdsong drifting from the forest edge. A 33-foot camper is already positioned on the designated house site outside the floodplain, allowing you to enjoy the property from day one. Powered by a solar-supported electric generator and a gas generator, sleeps multiple people with a queen bed in the bedroom, 3 bunks in the bunkroom, and a couch and dining booth that convert to beds as well, and there is an inside and an OUTSIDE kitchen! It serves as the perfect basecamp while you plan your future build, or as a ready-made retreat just as it is. An 8' x 8' storage unit provides convenient space for kayaks, fishing gear, a mower, or all the toys that come with Vermont living. The house site, where the camper is located, sits entirely outside the floodplain and comes with an approved 4-bedroom wastewater permit and power at the road. While a portion of the land does lie within the floodplain, the property as a whole saw very little impact during the 2023 flood. This land offers a peacefulness that’s hard to find and impossible to replicate. All measurements approximate

Looking for a spot to build your Vermont home, cabin or camp? This 4.7+/- level lot is all set with access right to the building site, state wastewater permit in hand (4 bedrooms) and power at the road. Approximately 1400 feet of frontage along the upper end of the the Williams River will let you listen to the lulling sounds from the babbling brook, and cool off in your own swimming hole on warm summer days. Part of the property is in the floodplain but there is a beautiful building site identified that is outside of the flood zone. Chester village is just 5 minutes away for schools, shopping and dining and skiing (Magic, Bromley or Okemo) are between 15 and 30 minutes drive.
