About this home
Tucked away along a quiet, town-maintained deadend road, this private 15-acre parcel offers a rare combination of seclusion, character, and natural beauty. Set high on a peaceful knoll, the property features an old homesite's stone foundation, open meadow areas, and several mature apple trees that hint at the land’s past, also a drilled well. A gentle babbling brook traces one boundary, adding to the tranquil setting and mountain-country charm. The driveway winds gradually upward to the homesite where the landscape opens to a mostly level field, an ideal setting for a future home, cabin, or retreat. With selective clearing, the property offers excellent potential for mountain views. Bordering Ballou Mountain, this special parcel offers exceptional privacy and a wonderful sense of connection to the surrounding landscape. Whether you envision a country getaway, year-round residence, or recreational escape, this property provides a beautiful canvas in a serene setting.

This is a 15 acre lot privately situated on a quiet town road which dead ends. The town does maintain this road. This lot sits high on a knoll with an old house foundation which is still there from years and years ago. The house site is a fairly flat field with several old apple trees. Alongside one boundary is a sweet babbling brook. The driveway to the field is fairly long, but once at the top its much worth the effort. With some clearing the mountain views could be very nice. This would be a great building site for anyone looking for complete privacy. The land backs up to Ballou Mountain.
