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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
