About this House

The View Lot you have been searching for forever! Sound of Music-like view of scenic Williams River Valley between Gassetts in Chester and Ludlow and just minutes away from Okemo Mountain and skiing. The view overlooks Hawks Mountain Wildlife Management Area and the Williams River with long range views to the east and the Fall Mountain area of Walpole. The property drops away to the river and rises to the mountains. The four season camp started life as a single wide mobile but has been redone to absorb the beautiful scenary from every window. Most buyers will probably remove the existing house and build in the same site, utilizing the oversized 4 bedroom septic, drilled well, and power-phone-cable supplying the house site. Access is via a publically maintained town road to a deed 50' ROW that provides total privacy. The 90 acre lot has been cleared extensively around the house location to provide open space for gardens/farming. Williams River frontage of 1130 feet provide a great water feature to the property as well.

    "This neighborhood is nice looking but there are some very disrespectful people. They send thier dog over to my yard to dump and will not clean up. The police can't be bothered even though there is a leash law. Town built a "pocket park" on private property which is now a drug deal location and dog toilet."

    "Chester is a lovely quaint town in southwestern Vermont. The village has stores and restaurants and a small grocer, but is close to Springfield with a larger grocery store. It is thirty to forty-five minutes to 5 major ski areas."

    "We've lived in the area for almost 10 years and in this location for 2. The neighborhood is beautiful. The town is a 10 minute walk away and has many great restaurants and shopping. Close to highway. Amenities include town rec-center, banks, grocery store, skiing, biking, and hiking trails close by. And the people are super friendly."
