13.5-Acres Abutting River, Covered Bridge, Swimming Hole

The ultimate Vermont building lot in so many ways. This mostly wooded acreage rises high above the Brown Covered Bridge, a National Historic Landmark abutting the property at its northeast corner. Underneath the bridge runs the winding Cold River, which directly fronts on the property's eastern boundary. Across the bank is Shrewsbury's popular Warren Swimming Hole, which is enjoyed by locals all Summer. On the far side of the covered bridge is a small parking area and a short trail that leads to the picnic area and wading pools. The best building spot is above the river at a flat area on Cold River Road, where there's just enough room before the topography drops off. There is already a 4-bedroom wastewater permit in place here. It's too steep to walk from the building envelope straight down to the river, but the drive to the swimming hole parking lot takes less than a minute. Please note some of the photos included in this listing were shot from the opposite bank of the Cold River with the subject property in the background.
