Set on 12.88 private acres along a quiet paved road, this surveyed Worcester parcel offers a rare combination of open land, privacy, and long range mountain view potential. Featuring two expansive reclaimed pastures with distant mountain views, a gently sloping landscape, and a small meandering brook, the property blends natural beauty with an open, workable landscape. Multiple building site options allow you to tailor your vision. While still being set back and elevated for privacy, you could build closer to the road near existing infrastructure for a more straightforward and cost-effective start. Or, create a more secluded retreat or second building site by accessing the upper meadow, where views of Hunger Mountain await. The property offers multiple potential access approaches, including the existing roughed-in driveway crossing the brook or a secondary access point to the upper fields that may allow for a shorter driveway configuration without the need for a bridge. Test pits have been completed, and a septic feasibility letter is available. A roughed-in driveway is already in place offering a head start for future development. The open meadows have been seeded and will soon be lush and green.
