Residential lot in vibrant Northampton, MA, home of Smith College and named one of the top 50 places to live in America. This location is less than 10 miles from iconic Mt. Tom State Park, visible in the background of this listing's aerial photo.
This will be a challenging lot to develop and is priced accordingly. But for resourceful, enterprising buyers, it would be an affordable way to access this exclusive zip code.
There are two potential building envelopes which each present their own challenges. The first is a very small (about a half-acre) dry area at the road frontage. This location is close to the road, close to the neighbor, and too small for anything but a very modest home.
The second potential building location is 2.5 acres at the back of the property. It's dry, flat, and very private. But to access this area would not only require a long driveway (at least 300 feet), but also a wetland crossing permit to pass over wet areas that criss-cross the northern half of the property.
Northampton itself is less than 30 minutes from Springfield, less than an hour from Lee, and less than 2 hours from Boston.
