Listing broker remarks

Location, Location, Location! Rare opportunity to own over 16 acres in one of Sturbridge's most desirable locations. Adjacent to the historic district and just minutes from Routes 84, 20, and the Mass Pike, this unique property offers an exceptional combination of privacy, convenience, and potential. The land features a beautiful mix of open fields and wooded acreage, complemented by historic stone walls, abundant wildlife, and scenic western views. With nearly 400 feet of frontage, town water, and a Title V-approved septic system already in place, this property is ready for its next chapter. The late-1800s home and barn require substantial renovation and presents an opportunity to restore and preserve their character or reimagine the property to suit your vision. Whether you're seeking a private estate, hobby farm, or investment opportunity, this is one of the last remaining large parcels in the heart of Sturbridge. A truly special property with endless possibilities!— Red Door Realty
