This opportunity is rare. Over 12 acres just a few minutes (1.5 miles to the middle of town) to Main Street Highlands in the desired Bowery Road neighborhood. Partial pasture. Long-standing forest. Rolling topography with up to four house sites. Potential short- and long-range views. Privacy. Easy building sites. Charming possibilities abound. As an estate lot or small, prestigious development, this property will entice the most distinguished and discerning buyers. The new owner of this property will possess a part of Highlands history. On one corner of the property sits an old well house, one of only a few still remaining in Highlands. An old house from the 1920s sat on the pasture area but had to be dismantled because sadly, it was not in salvageable condition. Plans and pictures are available, however, if someone wants to recreate and enhance this part of history. The new owner also has exciting possibilities. As indicated, the parcel can be divided into four estate-sized lots, but an owner may want to consider other options. A preliminary rendering of how the parcel can be utilized is available. Perhaps, after validating with the necessary financial and Land Trust officials, the owner could utilize one or two spots for new homes and take advantage of tax benefits by retaining the remainder as a quiet, beautiful community area that will then be forever preserved for the enjoyment of future generations of families who appreciate and value the distinct benefits of Highlands. Regardless how a buyer may choose to proceed, the options are mesmerizing.Please check with the listing agents for other ideas about maximizing this beautiful place.
