Located just off Vermont Route 116 on Hewitt Road in Bristol, this 3.5-acre parcel presents an excellent opportunity for commercial development within the town’s Commercial zoning district. The property features a mature privacy hedge along the road frontage, creating natural screening, while the remainder of the site is level and open—ideal for efficient site planning and construction. Electrical service is available close by, further simplifying the development process. The current owners had secured state and local permits, including a wastewater (WW) permit supporting a commercial building designed for up to 10 employees (150 gallons per day allocation), as well as a land use permit and town zoning approval for the development of a contractor yard. Plans allowed for 2,600 square-foot building accommodating two tenant businesses, with up to 0.95 acres of impervious surface. This extensive preliminary work provides a strong foundation for your own streamlined development process.
