Property Description
30 Acres of Pristine Land in Sought-After Newtown!
Unique opportunity to escape the rat race & live in tranquility. Imagine coming home to 30 acres of natural beauty & absolute privacy! This comfortable home is spacious, bright & airy. The house has been loved & expanded over the years. Big windows & glass doors bring the outside in. Nature abounds in this diverse woodland with flowing brooks. Mature gardens give color all season with minimal care. Why live where there is noise & traffic? This property gives you freedom from chaos. Step out the door for coffee by the brook in your robe, no one will see you! Let your pets roam freely & your kids play in the woods or catch frogs by the stream. Cook up a storm on the 6 burner Viking gas range w/new granite counters, & room for a large gathering. In winter cuddle up to the stone fireplace or go to the heated oversize garage for a project. A total of 4 bedrooms & 2 baths + bonus rm for guests/laundry/office. Spacious master is bright & secluded with attached library & deck. If land & privacy seems right for you then you have to see this! This home is a rare find on the market with this amount of untouched land & won't be available long. Many choices for property use. Make an appointment & come see for yourself. The surprisingly low property taxes reflect the 490 Forest Exemption & may be lower than you are paying now! Close to commuter corridors, great restaurants, craft beer pubs, & shopping. Don't miss this one!
