About this home

Located in gated Hearthstone Ridge, this property is moderately wooded with a mix of hardwoods/evergreens. It sits above the road, and when you're ready to build, it offers a great view of the mountains! This parcel's east border helps form one edge of the community. It's backed up by a land-locked parcel of 80-acres, home to deer and other wildlife. The photo was taken from this parcel about five years ago...the view hasn't changed, but some trees have grown. Most of them are the trees you'll be taking down when you are building your new home! The parcel originally had a septic permit for a three-bedroom home (now expired) from the Health Department. The gentle slope will be easy to build on, and offers excellent drainage. The minimum building size for a home in Hearthstone Ridge is 1,200 sq. ft. of heated indoor living space, not including basements, porches or garages. There are no maximum size restrictions.
