      Description

      Investors and homesteaders take note! 6.2 Acre lot could possibly be divided into 2 or 3 lots. Close to all public schools, groceries, shopping, golf, restaurants, movies and Route 2. Partially sloping lot has been partially logged off. A meandering brook culminates in an antique stone dam giving way to the lull of its diminutive waterfall. Stone walls line some of the boundaries adding to the New England charm of this property. A magical little place that you really must see to appreciate. Adjacent wooded lot offers some privacy. Thinking of starting a small hobby farm? 6.2 acres is a great place to start. The shallow brook flows through the tiny waterfall all year round making access to fresh water for animals and gardens convenient. Builders could put multifamily or single family homes on the property. So many possibilities. Let your imagination start flowing!

        "Its improving quickly with all the new construction.I've noticed a hudge difference just in the past year.So many new jobs available.That gives opportunity and people are improving their lives.So many less people just hanging around midday.Less poverty means less crime.Seem like Athol will be viewed in a much more positive way.I ended up here and hated it.I'm actually able to leave now and don't think I want to."

      • Fonsecakaris
        "Athol has ‘Town’ buses for the main roads. If you need a pick-up in the country there is a local small van that will pick you up for $3.00, you need to call the night before and there is always Uber. One really needs personal transportation, as everything is far apart, not walkable."

      • Pamela E.
        "Athol seems to have a lot more drug activity at much younger ages.I honestly think they need a Boys and Girls club.Places these kids can go that are free.Its a very low income area and this makes things much harder on teenagers Bowling alley or roller skating rink would be a good start.There are so many vacant buildings."
