About this home
Situated in Essex, this pristine piece of land spans 27.07 acres, offering a unique blend of development potential and natural preservation. With 2 acres designated for construction on the waste water permit, the entire acreage is presently enrolled in the current use program. In addition to the protection from development, the taxes are incredibly reduced per year. The surrounding untouched land enhances the property's tranquility, providing scenic views of the majestic Mount Mansfield with a bit of selective cutting. A pre-established driveway leads half of the way to the proposed house site, and electricity is conveniently available from a station on the shared driveway. Additionally, a waste water permit for a 4-bedroom home adds to the property's appeal, making it an ideal canvas for creating a harmonious blend of modern living and natural beauty. Close to VAST trails and abuts common acreage that is shared with surrounding lot owners. Please do not drive-by without an appointment.

Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of this district is to protect lands with an economic capability for agriculture and which are now essentially undeveloped except for uses associated with agriculture or forestry operation. In this district, planned unit developments which do not remove the potential of the land for agricultural production such as open space, conservation and certain forms of outdoor recreation, are encouraged. Further road development and the extension of public water supply and sewage disposal systems are not planned for this district. Therefore, only low density residential and recreation development which uses existing facilities, which can adequately dispose of its sewage, and is compatible with the district’s purpose and guidelines should be allowed.
