About this home
Nestled along a quiet, lightly traveled town-maintained gravel road, this c1850 colonial sits on 6 plus acres of serene land, enjoying protected land and no nearby neighbors.

The home has an older septic system and a spring water supply. This property is priced for those ready to embrace a renovation project, offering strong bones, a prime location, beautiful setting, and quality acreage. Conveniently located just 15 minutes from the Dorset/Manchester area, it’s also served by Mettawee School for pre-k through 6th grade, school choice for grades 7-12, and fiber optic internet access.
