Beautiful, unrestricted mountain property in the Newfound community of Leicester. There are zero restrictions on this acreage, so bring your own vision and make your dream a reality! There is one area on the lower portion of the property that was previously cleared for a home that was never constructed. Build quickly there and take your time developing the rest of the mountainside if you like. Network of old roadbeds make the property easily negotiable, so you can map out a plan for your future use. There are great potential views from multiple spots on the land including the ridge. The ridgeline is slightly narrow due to neighboring lot lines, but likely offers several homesites depending on the nature of the structure and the preferred foundation. A new survey has been ordered and should be completed by early June.
