About this home

Imagine building your forever home somewhere you can hear birds in the morning, watch deer in the evening, and still get to Worcester or Sturbridge when life calls for it. Located on Davis Road in rural New Braintree, this 3.46-acre buildable parcel offers privacy, natural beauty, and a meaningful head start toward construction. The property sits on a quiet, dead-end dirt road that is publicly maintained by the town, with farmland directly across the street and woods, stone walls, and open rural surroundings creating a peaceful New England setting.The preliminary work is already well underway. A well has been installed and inspected, the driveway has been completed, approved, and permitted, and a survey and perc test are in hand. Sellers also have septic plans and house plans from their original vision for the property. The building area is located toward the back right of the lot, reached by a beautiful winding driveway that follows the natural contour of the land. There are no known wetland concerns, and the property offers approximately 250 feet of frontage.The sellers originally planned to build their own forever home here—a 1,200-square-foot colonial with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a full basement. Their plans changed, creating an opportunity for someone else to bring the property to life. Buyers are not required to use those plans and can choose their own builder and design. New Braintree's zoning allows for single-family or two-family construction, with additional ADU flexibility under current Massachusetts law, subject to applicable requirements and buyer verification. High-speed internet is available, and completed water-quality testing returned clear results, providing added due diligence for future development. The setting offers both privacy and access. Approximately 18 miles to Sturbridge, 20 miles to Worcester, 5 miles to Hannaford in North Brookfield, and just 2 miles to the Massachusetts State Police Academy. The property is also near the Winimussett Wildlife Management trail area and offers easy access to the Mass Central Rail Trail.Wildlife is part of everyday life here—birds, deer, and turkeys are common—and the surrounding farms and woods reinforce the feeling of being truly away from it all.There are no deed restrictions, rights-of-ways,
