- Description: Welcome to a place where the sound of the river becomes part of your daily rhythm. This 4.7-acre parcel with an end-of-road location offers an extraordinary 1,400 feet of frontage on the Williams River, creating a private and tranquil retreat just five minutes from the quintessential Vermont charm of Chester Village. The land unfolds beautifully: wide, flat, sun-filled fields stretch toward the river, softened by a scattering of mature trees that add shade, character, and seasonal color. Set along gentle bends in the river, the property feels open yet intimate-an ideal setting for gardens, gatherings, or simply relaxing under the sky. Wildlife is abundant here: deer grazing at dusk, fox weaving through the meadow, and birdsong drifting from the forest edge. A 33-foot camper is already positioned on the designated house site outside the floodplain, allowing you to enjoy the property from day one. Powered by a solar-supported electric generator and a gas generator, it serves as the perfect basecamp while you plan your future build-or as a ready-made retreat just as it is. An 8' x 8' storage unit provides convenient space for kayaks, fishing gear, a mower, or all the toys that come with Vermont living. The house site-where the camper is located-sits entirely outside the floodplain and comes with an approved 4-bedroom wastewater permit and power at the road. While a portion of the land does lie within the floodplain, the property as a whole saw very little impact during the 2023 flood. This land offers a peacefulness that's hard to find and impossible to replicate.
