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. Located just 1.5 miles from Worcester Village on a paved road under 20 minutes to Montpelier, the property is also only 2.5 miles to Curtis Pond for swimming and non-motorized water sports and Maple Corners Community Center and Store and the tiny Whammy Bar known for great music and community. You can walk or bike to extensive mountain or hiking trail networks for year-round outdoor recreation or drive 15 minutes to hike either Worcester or Hunger Mountains. With potential for a single home, multiple dwellings, or a shared living concept, and no local zoning, this property presents a compelling opportunity to build now or invest for the future in one of Central Vermont’s most scenic settings and sought-after communities.

Anna Whiteside Woods is 265+/- acres of central Vermont forest spanning the Worcester and Middlesex town line, held by one family for generations. Downs Road defines the northern boundary, Woods Road runs along the west, and a portion of the eastern edge fronts Route 12. Streams thread the center of the parcel, feeding a small pond and cutting deep ravines through ledge in the southwest corner. Deer, moose, bears, and turkeys use this ground as a matter of routine. A well-established woods road enters near the northwest corner and runs south to the streams at the center of the property, with a second access point at the lower end of Downs Road at a former log landing. Old ski trails branch from the main road and open much of the northern two-thirds to hiking, hunting, skiing, and camping. Access to the southern acreage is rough - a feature for anyone who wants their back land to stay quiet. A current Forest Management Plan prepared in March 2026 by Larson Forestry Services documents four stands on productive Site Class II soils. Stand 2, at 190.4 acres, is the heart of the parcel: white pine, red maple, hemlock, red spruce, and sugar maple carrying 7-11 MBF per acre, with sound straight stems that responded well to a harvest 25 years ago. The 17-acre upland hardwood stand in the southwest is the standout - red maple, sugar maple, and yellow birch, 44% large sawlog, 11-13 MBF per acre, no recent cutting. Thinning is prescribed across the managed stands for 2026-2031. Enrolled in Current Use, with acreage excluded along Woods Road for future homesites. No wastewater permit; state permitting required for residential use. Recreation, timber, wildlife habitat, long-term conservation, or a homestead in the woods. Buyer to verify acreage, access and permitting. Also, separately for sale are two 5-acre buildable lots, MLS#5087836 and #5087842, along Wood Road with WW permits and designs in place which could be purchased and allow for faster permitting.
