Property details
About 8856 Cold River Rd
This 41.45-acre parcel of Vermont WILDERNESS offers an opportunity to steward a Shrewsbury WOODLAND resource or pursue its development potential—just 9 miles outside the city. There are four possible building sites, initially cleared when logged, with access from a paved well-maintained public road, and power at the street. The soils are likely to perc, as the land sits on higher ground and is said to drain well. The property is home to an abundance of Vermont WILDLIFE—white-tailed deer, fox, raccoon, moose, bear, and northeastern birds, to name a few of the residents in this neighborhood. Come explore the mountainside, bring the dogs, and hike in awe of the countryside. Located just a mile or two west of the Appalachian Trail crossing at Cold River Road and a couple of miles east of the Shrewsbury Peak Trailhead—on the far backside of Killington Peak—this property is an ideal choice for those who appreciate hiking, outdoor ADVENTURE, and Vermont’s natural beauty while building the home of their dreams.
