Property Description
29 acres of raw land on the corner of Loon Meadow Drive and Lover's Lane which sit high- between 1,500-1,600 feet; nearly the highest elevation in Norfolk - and dry with potential views. The parcel is zoned rural residential and is currently held in public act 490 forest which allows forested land of 25 acres or more to be assessed at its use value rather than its fair market for tax purposes. There is approximately 2,600 feet of road frontage with access at the northeast corner as well as along the northern (~1,000 feet) and western boundaries (~1,600 feet). The land is forested and gently sloping with some white pines but dominated by hardwoods including red and sugar maple, yellow birch, black cherry, red oak, American beech, and striped maple. A streambed divides the property from the southwest to northeast corner. The previous owner did some logging to remove ash and there is an old roughed-out logging road and culvert to cross the stream. There is evidence of past clearing with stones piled by a farmer or shepherd to clear fields approximately 200 years ago. Located in the lower Berkshire hills, a region of SW Massachusetts and NW Connecticut, representing the southernmost end of the Berkshires and green mountains which are ecologically the same. Private and nestled between conserved land on two sides, yet only 2 miles from the village center by a quiet country road.
