About this home
Escape to a high-quality contemporary homestead nestled in your own private wildlife sanctuary on 323 acres. This Tom Moore Farmhouse features 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and an open kitchen/living room with hardwood throughout the first floor. Cozy up next to the wood-burning stove, host a brunch in the sunny dining room with three walls of windows, sit on the Trex decking of the porch and watch the frog pond, or take your morning coffee in the upstairs three-season room with the windows wide open. If you appreciate functional details then you will love this home - from the insulated firewood pass through near the wood stove, to the direct basement access via the heated three car garage, to the convenient lighting in every corner of the house, including inside each of the many closets. There are multiple spaces and places to take in the quiet and solitude of this ultra-private home set amidst a backdrop of forested hills and high-quality wetlands. Enjoy lazy evenings on the covered porches and sightings of the many animals that call the woodlands home. Hike to the top of either of your own two hills - among the highest in Westford - for seasonal views of Mt. Mansfield and the Champlain Valley. Catch a glimpse of your favorite bird in this birder's paradise, delight in the gentle sound of the year-round brook, wander along the trails, or take in the views across the large beaver ponds. .. all of these experiences can be yours within a 35-minute drive of BTV Airport.

The Rural 10 District is intended to: Enable low-density, context-sensitive development while conserving significant natural resources, working land, and open space.; Recognize the severe natural constraints to development present in this district such as poor soils for wastewater disposal, ledge outcroppings and steep slopes.; Maintain existing rural character and allow for land use and development that will not place an unreasonable burden on the Town’s ability to provide and maintain the existing level of services.
Directions: From Essex, take Route 128 North, Turn Right onto Osgood Hill Rd, Right onto Machia Hill Road, go to the end. Turn Left onto the driveway at the end of the road, not the home at the end. Follow driveway 0.3 miles to end. Please no drive by's.
