Properties Near 567 Sawnee Bean Road Thetford, VT

Discover 52.6 acres of natural beauty on Sawnee Bean Road in Thetford, VT—an ideal spot for your dream home, private getaway, or recreational retreat. Located in a quiet rural area, this large parcel offers plenty of privacy, wooded surroundings, and the freedom to create your own space in the heart of Vermont. The property features a partially cleared area with an existing driveway, plus two utility poles already bringing power partway onto the land. A 5-bedroom septic design has been approved, and the sellers also have house plans and a well installation estimate available to help you get started. The land offers a nice mix of hardwoods, softwoods, and open space, great for trails, gardens, or even off-grid living. It’s peaceful and private, yet still convenient—just minutes to I-91 and a short drive to Dartmouth College, Hanover, and local amenities.

The land's primary feature is its nearly 1/2 mile of river frontage at its northern end. Two old woods trails head to the river providing good access to this scenic water resource. Given the land’s access, distance to electric power, Restricted Use Area, and opposing solar array, the highest and best use is likely a camp/seasonal home development, recreation, and/or forest management. A meadow at the end of the access road (see maps for location) offers attractive views to the west and north, a prime location to develop a large camp or seasonal home. Near the meadow is a tiny deep pond which may be swimmable. Elevations range from 730’ along the river to 1,200’ near the SE boundary. The terrain is mostly gently sloping, however, with steep terrain along the river.

Tucked away off Turnpike Road South in Thetford, Vermont, this land-only offering includes two wooded parcels totaling 23+/- acres (19 acres and 4 acres). The property is located 2.5 miles from where Houghton Hill Road intersects Route 113 at the top of Thetford Hill. The land begins on the eastern side of Turnpike Road South, just south of where the Class III section ends and the Class IV portion begins. This transition point offers the best access into the property: the terrain is level, making it easy to turn off the road. About 300 feet in, following an old logging road, there is a wooded plateau at roughly 1,350 feet in elevation. This is a potential build site. With clearing, the plateau may offer long-range views of Mount Ascutney. The soils in this location have been tested and are suitable for a mound septic system. Overhead power is approximately 600 - 700 feet south of this site on the other side (west) of Turnpike Road South. Beyond the build site, old woods roads continue to wind upward through the forest, leading to stands of mature hemlock and younger oaks, moss-covered ledges, and blankets of ferns. The landscape is alive with wildlife and birds —an inviting retreat for outdoor enthusiasts, naturalists, or anyone seeking privacy and solitude. The land continues all the way to the top of the ridge 1,465 +/- feet in elevation.
