Welcome home to your own private retreat designed for everyday living, entertaining, and flexibility. Back on the market and ready for its new qualified Owner(s). Recently under contract and appraised in August 2026 for $1,400,000. Sat well off the road on an unheard-of 12.7 acres with no immediate neighbors, this home delivers rare privacy without feeling remote. Two driveways allow drive-in/drive-out access, plus a 3-car garage, heated pool, screened porch, and a real catwalk connecting two main structures with the ability to drive underneath. Inside, the kitchen shines with a 36” gas range, smart fridge, and beautiful finishes throughout. The primary suite is a showstopper: French doors to a private patio, walk-in closet, and a bath with double vanity, chandelier, glass shower door, Bluetooth speakers, multi-color LED lighting, and two shower areas with separate controls, including a 7’+ rain head on one side and a bench on the other. Brand-new septic/leaching field with certificate of compliance in hand, new 50-year roof. New pool pump and multi valve. Further enhancements are possible. Seller reserves the right to accept an offer at anytime.

ADU Potential

Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025). Estimated maximum ADU size for this property: 900 sq ft (the lesser of 900 sq ft or half the 4,470 sq ft principal dwelling). Lot size: 553,212 sq ft.

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
