Property Overview:
This two-lot portfolio offers prime access to buildable acreage in a desirable area of central Massachusetts. The Hampshire County lot (5.65± acres) is served by public water and electric with a completed percolation test, providing a clear path to residential construction. The adjoining Worcester County parcel (4.98± acres) adds additional development or buffer space.
The lots feature prominent paved road frontage along Gilbertville Road, allowing for excellent access year-round. The terrain is steep and hilly with select flat areas, presenting an ideal canvas for elevated home sites or designs that take advantage of hillside views.
Just five minutes from the heart of Ware, this property offers a balance of privacy and accessibility. Essential services, shopping, and schools are all within a short drive. The surrounding region offers abundant recreational opportunities with access to parks, trails, and area lakes.
Zoning in both towns supports single-family construction and, with permitting, limited multi-family and select commercial uses for the Hampshire County lot fronting Gilbertville Rd. With no HOA or restrictive covenants, you have flexibility to tailor the property to your needs.
By proceeding with a purchase, buyers acknowledge full responsibility for verifying all information and assume all risks associated with the property. The seller shall not be liable for any inaccuracies or the buyer’s failure to conduct proper due diligence.
