Rare opportunity to acquire this 5.63 acre parcel with an existing single family in need of gut renovation or tear down and rebuild. The property, formerly a house and cleared acreage with farm outbuildings, has not been occupied in 15+ years. Possibility to subdivide with a retreat lot, further develop with a special permit, or use as single family with a rare homestead feature in a convenient suburban location of much higher priced homes. No public sewer available, perc tests have been done and are available. Wetlands exist on the western side of the property, adjacent to 140, and have been delineated and certified leaving ~2.5 upland acres developable. Historic special permits that have been granted but not exercised: raze and rebuild single family home, 4 building contractor storage facility, many possibilities exist further than residential here.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025).

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
