About this home
The location is prime; the serenity of the water and the woods, on a sparsely traveled road but also, direct access to Rte 30 and walking distance to the grocery store. You might choose to have your house site elevated, overlooking the West River and the neighboring horse pasture, or you could build right on Rte 30, or even operate a commercial business on Rte 30. There is no zoning in Townshend. The access up into the land is on Ellen Ware, closer to the Brookline town line. There are trails going uphill to a clearing/campsite that overlooks the River. While most of the land is on the opposite side of the road from the West River, there is a small sliver of land on the River side. This small but mighty sliver means you have 1000 ft of direct access to the water. Currently not in the VT Use Value Program but if you were to enroll, you would enjoy a significant reduction on your taxes.

133 acres of wooded land on the banks of the West River in Townshend VT. The parcel has some tremendous river frontage with rock outcroppings and eddies along its banks providing deep pools and swimming holes along the waterfront. The land rises sharply from the road but has plateaus that would be suitable for building that would offer wonderful South/SW views down the river valley. The forest is comprised of mixed hardwood with a large amount of red oak and pockets of white pine and has not been logged recently. The topography is steep and rugged in sections but has a good network of interior woods roads and trails that would be ideal for on-site hiking, biking, ATV riding and exploring. There is a local snowmobile trail that connects to the VAST trail network. If you are looking for a parcel for recreation OR a spot to build a dwelling with super privacy with access to a gorgeous waterfront, this is a good one!! Subject to the Seller obtaining all state and local permits to convey title to the parcel. The adjacent 194 acres in Brookline is also available for sale. See MLS # 4909967
