Listing broker remarks

FARM LIFE or BUILDERS/DEVELOPERS Rarely does a property with this much history and potential reach the market. Spanning 20+ sprawling acres on the coveted Federal Hill Road, this Estate offers a unique blend of agricultural heritage and future possibility. For over 40 years, this land flourished as a beloved vegetable farm, home to the local legend "Tomato Queen" with the farm stand. Today, the grounds remain a lush tapestry of gardens, blueberry bushes, and blackberry patches, all set against a backdrop of gently sloped terrain, serene woods, and existing greenhouses. The heart of the property is a 1,650-square-foot Ranch that truly defines "good bones." Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen featuring nostalgic details like a built-in bread box and lazy Susan, alongside a dedicated dining room and three comfortable bedrooms. While the home awaits your modern touch, its solid footprint provides a sturdy foundation for a custom renovation. Whether you are looking to embrace the "farm life" and continue the agricultural legacy of this Chapter 61A land, or you are a developer eyeing the significant street frontage and multiple joining lots, the opportunities here are vast. The expansive acreage provides a rare canvas for a variety of visions. Located with the commuter in mind, this property sits just minutes to I-290/395, the Mass Pike, and Route 20, offering a balance of rural tranquility and regional connectivity. This is an Estate sale, and the property is being sold with all existing structures in place. Bring your vision to Federal Hill Road and own a piece of Oxford’s farming history.— Coldwell Banker Realty - Worcester
