THE RAREST OF OPPORTUNITIES! Over 5.5 stunning sun-drenched acres held by the same family for centuries. This level pastoral setting offers a "once-in-a-lifetime" canvas for a premier custom estate (got horses?) or an unique boutique development. With over 1,300 feet of road frontage & no wetlands, the land is prime for a subdivision of 5 one-acre+ lots. Under the town's Open Space Conservation District Regs, there is potential for 6 lots. An additional 2.4 abutting acres is now for sale too further expanding the possibilities. See MLS#21462686. Another plus, both natural gas & city water are available in the road. The parcel is mostly framed by classic stonewalls, offers salt meadow & Hammonasset River views directly across the street, & is notably not in a high-risk flood zone. And talk about LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! Perfectly situated less than 0.5 miles from Hammonasset Beach State Park with its 2 miles of continuous sandy beach & the Meig's Point Nature Center AND the trailhead of the multiuse Shoreline Greenway AND Madison's Salt Meadow Park w/ new dog park, athletic fields & kayak/canoe launch AND finally the Rettich Preserve, 11 acres with walking trails along the river, ALL less than 0.5 miles! Downtown Madison's fine dining, shops & train station for easy commuting to New Haven, New York & Boston is just 2 miles away. Whether building a private family compound or high-end residential enclave, this is a legacy property without equal on the Connecticut shoreline.
