About this home
This 4.4 acre building lot in picturesque Petersham offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. Once farmland, the land has naturally grown into a peaceful wooded setting with a mix of deciduous trees, creating classic New England charm. Featuring 233 feet of road frontage, the property is bordered by land owned by Harvard Forest as well as town-owned land, providing an exceptional sense of space and tranquility. This parcel is currently part of a larger tract located across the street and will be separated at the time of sale. A survey and perc test have already been completed, making it easier to begin planning your future build. Enjoy easy access to the Rt. 2 on-ramp for convenient commuting while still being part of a quiet and welcoming community. Spend summers enjoying free concerts and farmers markets on the historic Petersham Common, while outdoor enthusiasts will love nearby Quabbin Reservoir for hiking, fishing, and exploring nature.
