Set along scenic East Road in Shaftsbury, this 5.77-acre wooded parcel offers a beautiful opportunity to create a private Vermont homesite in one of the area's most appealing rural settings. The land is currently wooded, allowing the next owner to decide how much to clear for a driveway, yard, gardens, or building site, with potential for a mountain view to the north with selective clearing. Surrounded by a distinctive mix of historic properties, classic Vermont homesteads, new construction, and grand estates, this location offers a rare blend of quiet country character and high-quality neighboring properties. The parcel is bounded to the north by the former Peter Matteson Tavern, a notable historic property once operated by the Bennington Museum as the Topping Tavern Museum, and is also close to Glastenbury Mountain, an area rich with Vermont history and now known for its reforested mountain landscape. The setting feels peaceful and rural, yet remains only approximately 9 miles from Bennington and 6 miles from Arlington, accessible by town-maintained dirt roads. Whether envisioned as a tucked-away full-time residence, seasonal getaway, or long-term land investment, this East Road parcel offers privacy, natural beauty, and flexibility in an established and well-respected Shaftsbury setting. Buyer to perform due diligence regarding permits, septic, well, driveway, utilities, and intended use. The subdivision map identifies the parcel within an approved subdivision layout.
