Rising up dramatically from the valley floor, this naturally beautiful lot offers a range of building options depending on your appetite for site work. A relatively flat spot near the road would certainly be the easiest and least costly building location. Building higher up would be more complicated, but unlock spectacular views of the opposing mountains and farmlands below. From the level roadside clearing, a roughed-in partial driveway switches back and forth ascending about halfway up the property to one of its various "benches." These benches are flat areas suitable for a home build, at intervals along the otherwise-sloped topography. Some photos in this listing were shot from a drone at the elevation of the highest bench, simulating what the best view would be with the right build and tree work. A 2021 percolation test and site evaluation is available. While a septic system is viable, a pretreatment stage will probably be required due to the unique topography of the lot. The cost and complexity of the septic system will vary depending on where you opt to build. A state highway access permit is also available. This location is just 15 minutes from Brattleboro and steps from the Massachusetts border.
