Shrewsbury Vermont Real Estate

The ultimate Vermont building lot in so many ways. This mostly wooded acreage rises high above the Brown Covered Bridge, a National Historic Landmark abutting the property at its northeast corner. Underneath the bridge runs the winding Cold River, which directly fronts on the property's eastern boundary. Across the bank is Shrewsbury's popular Warren Swimming Hole, which is enjoyed by locals all Summer. On the far side of the covered bridge is a small parking area and a short trail that leads to the picnic area and wading pools. The best building spot is above the river at a flat area on Cold River Road, where there's just enough room before the topography drops off. There is already a 4-bedroom wastewater permit in place here. It's too steep to walk from the building envelope straight down to the river, but the drive to the swimming hole parking lot takes less than a minute. Please note some of the photos included in this listing were shot from the opposite bank of the Cold River with the subject property in the background.

This 41.45-acre parcel of Vermont WILDERNESS offers an opportunity to steward a Shrewsbury WOODLAND resource or pursue its development potential. There are four + possible building sites, initially cleared when logged, creating wilderness habitats, with access from a paved well-maintained public road. Power at the street as well as on site, come and check it out. The soils are likely to perc, as the land sits on higher ground and is said to drain well. The property is home to an abundance of Vermont WILDLIFE—white-tailed deer, fox, raccoon, moose, bear, and northeastern birds, to name a few of the residents in this neighborhood. Come explore the mountainside, bring the dogs, and hike in awe of the area, the views. My friends, family, and I have done just that for decades here in Shrewsbury, approx., 9-miles from Rutalnd Ctiy (perfect! or some) slightly higher in elevation. Located just a mile or two west of the Appalachian Trail crossing at Cold River Road and a couple of miles east of the Shrewsbury Peak Trailhead—on the far backside of Killington Peak—this property is an ideal choice for those who appreciate Vermont, hiking, outdoor ADVENTURE, and the natural beauty - wow, all while building the home of their dreams. This is a great opportunity!
