A piece of paradise that is tucked away but still close to everything. 14.4 acres on a dead end road in one of the most beautiful and well-preserved areas in the Northeast. Surrounded by conservation land, this peaceful forest property sits in the Swift River Valley and the headwaters of the Quabbin reservoir. The north side of the property is a southern facing, gently sloping Sugar Maple forest with a magical fern understory. The central area has small seasonal streams that flow into Moccasin Brook. The bulk of the property is flat, diverse woodland. Enter through a break in the old stone wall onto a professionally made dirt driveway with a parking area at the end. I intended to build a cabin on this land. Now I am located in another state and although I love this place, I am ready to pass it on to someone who will take care of it and enjoy it into the future. All but 1.5 acres are classified under a state forest tax provision so the property taxes are very low. Power, internet and phone run down the town-maintained dirt road and can be easily brought in along the driveway to the building site. I put in a telephone pole halfway down the driveway so all that's needed is to run the wires. 90 miles from Boston, a short drive to Amherst, Greenfield, Keene, Worcester. Minutes to Petersham town center with its famous Country Store, weekly farmers market and vibrant community. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity!
