A beautiful 6.2-acre property with many possibilities, including the potential to divide the parcel into two or three lots, subject to town approvals. The seller is currently opening up the road, providing improved access to the property. The land offers a charming New England setting, established fruit trees, and natural character throughout. A meandering brook winds through the property and leads to an antique stone dam, where a small waterfall adds a peaceful, picturesque touch. Existing stone walls along portions of the boundaries further enhance the property's timeless New England appeal. Conveniently located close to public schools, grocery stores, shopping, golf, restaurants, movies, and Route 2, this property offers both privacy and accessibility. With road access being improved, fruit trees already planted, and potential for subdivision, an exciting opportunity for a private estate, family compound, or future development.
