Weed Road is widely regarded as one of Essex’s most desirable addresses, offering a paved approach, convenient access to Essex Center, Essex Junction, and Williston amenities, along with beautiful southwestern views. This impressive country parcel was originally permitted in 1996 for a duplex consisting of two 2-bedroom units, supported by a 4-bedroom wastewater permit. Buyers will be responsible for updating engineering and permitting to current standards. The property offers flexible development potential, including a single-family residence, duplex, or the possibility of creating a PUD with two free-standing single-family carriage homes (subject to approvals). The lot is approximately 70% open, with a wooded upper section providing privacy and natural appeal. Wetlands are present near the center of the parcel, and the most likely location for a building envelope will be on the lower section. A stone swale for water management runs along the tree line toward the upper portion of the lot and continues along the western boundary.. Access is currently over a roadside culvert, but a formal driveway permit will be part of the next owner’s construction plans. Supporting documentation, including prior engineering reports, is available for review. ***ONLY PARK ON THIS PROPERTY TO VIEW IT, ACCESSED NEAR THE FOR SALE SIGN.
