For anyone that is in the market for buying a large parcel of land that can be either your own private hunting paradise, or just a place to escape from the hustle and bustle of every day life. This 32+ acre parcel of land is absolutely perfect. Currently listed at $160,000.00.
Imagine yourself driving up your driveway to your hillside home. The views from the front will be limited to a few neighbors, depending on how you situate your new home. There are tons of possibilities here all you have to do is bring your imagination. It would help if you brought your architect and builder too. Sometimes it is difficult to visualize what you can do with raw land. The natural beauty is already there, so come on by and check it out. Just picture this "total privacy" in your back yard.
One of the best features of this land is that it will always maintain a certain degree of privacy. How many people "live" in their front yard? The average homeowner spends most of their time in their backyard. Okay, so this land has it, there is nothing but trees behind you. The parcel behind you, is owned by the town and is being held as a future well site. The only access to the town well site is a right of way from Harper's Lane. The town does not have access to the well site through this parcel. No neighbors to the rear (at least not visible).
The rear of the property is mature woodlands of mainly pine, oak and cedar trees. You are limited to a few neighbors "in front" of your future dwelling. If you do not want to see your neighbors, then have your builder design a home that will minimize visibility of your neighbors. It should not be difficult. If you want to be one with nature, then you have the perfect opportunity here.
Now that I have appealed to the nature lover, let us not forget that this property would also be very desirable to the hunter. If you want to hunt deer, fox, or wild turkey, then you might want to snatch this up as your own private hunting ground. Build your own lodge style home, or whatever your heart desires. You could be close to the corporate world, yet living in the ideal country setting.
Currently, there is an abundance of deer in this area. This land abuts much more conservation land which is in a coveted hunting area. The city of New Bedford owns land that abuts one corner of this parcel, and the cities property continues on the other side of Walnut Street. There is plenty of conservation land in this area.
Whether you hunt or you want to make sure Bambi is safe on your compound, you should at least take a look at your options here. At less than $5,000 per acre, you could be very happy that you found this little slice of paradise to call your very own.
Note: The land has conservation restrictions as it is in an area of preferred habitat for the eastern box turtle. Ask for details, I will discuss in detail, or can email you information if you prefer.
If the 32+ acre parcel is too big for you. Then perhaps you might be interested in a smaller lot. There is one remaining on this subdivded property. Meanwhile, here are some other land listings in the Middleboro area.
