About This Home
Opportunities like this are extremely rare in Amherst. Set on 4.3± acres just minutes from the Town Common and downtown, this meticulously maintained, one-owner property offers a unique blend of privacy, usability, and convenience. The home features 3 bedrooms with a 4-bedroom approved septic system, offering flexibility for future expansion or potential ADU (subject to approvals). A spacious great room with gas stove anchors the home, complemented by a screened porch and a classic front farmer’s porch with a 6-person hot tub. An attached oversized 3-car garage provides excellent functionality. The land is mostly level and highly usable, with a scenic brook running through the property. Additional improvements include a detached 3-car garage and a 2-story heated barn engineered for strength, durability, and long-term use—ideal for car collectors, storage, equipment, workshop space, or potential equestrian use. Town-approved small excavation business use is allowed, subject to variance conditions, making this an ideal setup for contractors, landscapers, or trades. Check with town for other approved home business uses. A rare opportunity offering space, versatility, and a prime Amherst location just minutes from downtown amenities.
