Introduction
The Cotswold Hill Parcels are five separate surveyed house sites located off West Hill Road in Jamaica, VT. These high elevation properties have some views toward Bromley Mountain to the west and toward Magic Mountain to the east. The views from these sites could be expanded with some tree thinning. Four of the five parcels have frontage on the newly constructed 20 foot wide access road that winds its way up the hill toward Lot 5 at the top of the subdivision. Lot 1 can be accessed directly from West Hill Road.
Location
These properties are close to three ski areas: Stratton Mountain is 7 miles away, Magic Mountain is 11 miles northeast and Bromley Mountain is 14 miles to the west. It's only a 30 minute drive to the town of Manchester where many shops and restaurants can be found. The West River is located nearby and provides a great place for fishing, swimming, and paddling. Opportunities to hike in the Green Mountain National Forest or mountain bike on trails and dirt roads are all found in the area. The properties are only two-and-a-half hours from the Boston area, New York City is four hours south, and Hartford, CT is only two hours away.
Access
The Cotswold Hill Parcels are located at 3104 West Hill Road in Jamaica, VT. From Route 30 in Jamaica, turn onto Mountain Acres Road and drive for one mile. Turn right onto West Hill Road and drive for 1/4 of a mile to the access road.
Site Description
Lot 3 is 34.53 acres, and is mostly forested near the access road. A driveway would need to be built to get into the interior of the forest. There is long frontage along West Hill Road, and it might be possible to build a driveway from that side of the parcel with access directly from West Hill Road. Alternatively, a house could be built closer to the access road where there are some nice views of the mountains to the north and west. The views from the West Hill Road side of this lot would be to the east, and those views could be made better with tree clearing.
