This 2.59-acre private building site, surrounded by woods, is fully permitted and ready for construction! It's one of 6 lots available in a quaint country subdivision in the foothills of Vermont's serene Green Mountains. Like all the sites, Lot #5 features a driveway and underground utilities already in place and is permitted for a 4-bedroom septic system. Most of the hard work is already done! The subdivision is just off Fern Lake Road with a crushed stone drive that winds up the mountain, through the development and the surrounding forest, ending in a cul-de-sac. Lake Dunmore, a serene setting for picnics, hiking, fishing, and swimming, is just over a mile away. Each lot in the development also has a sophisticated, state-mandated stormwater system permitted and installed. Buyers are only responsible for applying for a building permit, drilling a well, and installing an on-site wastewater system. Located just a short drive to Middlebury, Vergennes, Rutland, and Brandon, this is a great opportunity to build the home of your dreams in a well-planned subdivision, with surveying, permits, site preparation, access road, and infrastructure for utilities already done. Enjoy proximity to many of Vermont's natural attractions: Green Mountain National Forest, Lake Dunmore, and Vermont's Long Trail. And skiing is just a short drive away at Middlebury Snow Bowl and Killington. Make this spot your new home this year!
