A rare 21 acre property, available for the first time in 40 years, in a premier cul-de-sac neighborhood. Create your dream; orchards, gardens, horses, trails for riding and X country skiing, or leave as natural habitat on this private and secluded property with a 4-bedroom septic already in hand. There is a garage/barn with space for woodworking and potential in-law quarters, a gardeners shed, and carport. A large deck with built-in seating, featuring southern exposure, overlooks this quiet property. Follow the wooded trail that leads from Mettacomett Path to the Jacob Gates cul-de-sac neighborhood, passing stone walls and cedar trees. This passive solar home features an open floor plan with an office and full bath on the first level and 2 bedrooms, walk-in closet, large bathroom plus laundry area upstairs. Drive 5-minutes to Harvard's renowned schools, Bare Hill Pond, the General Store, or apple orchards. A true rustic retreat, yet close to shopping and dining.
