June 1, 2009 - The Lot

We found out that the property is 2/3 acre with permitting in place for a two-bedroom house. It’s a previously undeveloped lot with an old cranberry bog in back. As the plan below shows, the area remaining for a house is very limited. The Town generally requires a 50’ no touch zone surrounding wetlands. The septic system takes up the front yard, leaving a 24’x38’ spot for the house. It’s not ideal, but it’s workable and the price is much more reasonable because of the constraints. The street is kind of busy and we’d like room for more First Floor space and a garage, but we like the fact that it’s in the downtown area.  House lots in that area are just about impossible to come by.

This is from the Town's website.  They have a GIS system with great online information.
