Land for Sale in East Harwich, Massachusetts

For Sale or Development Partner

Two dwelling zoned, estate quality 3/4 acre property on a local long time historic cart path through the woods, dating back over 200 years, as stated on Harwich Historical Society website, Middle Road was a well used route between Harwich and Chatham.

Enjoy life on Middle "ancient Way" Road chosen by early settlers as a high ground cart path in East Harwich.

Harwich planning agreed, after my presentation of documents showing Middle Road predates 1952 Subdivision bylaws, allowing for existing private road development status.

Two properties are allowed to be developed on a Town acceptable rural road with upgrades. This section from Depot road to 10 Middle Road has existing/required sub road base improvement, 6in of T-base done 15 years ago, a 3in crushed stone top surface may be required.

10 Middle Road is a small 3/4 acre estate quality property located 2 miles from Red River Beach, amenities and Town Center. Accessed from Depot Road, drive 1/4 mile through undeveloped wooded land to 10 Middle "Ancient Way" Road. Center point on a 1/2 mile private road with documented right of way, tucked behind Harwich Conservation Trust land on two sides, including frontage on Rushy Pond to the north. There is an existing well, cleared for 500ft underground power lines, both power and road costs to be shared with abutting lot 14.

Two forward thinking Age in Place homes along with garage and septic are stake off. Septic system permit in hand , TW Nickerson has that job.

Underground power plan submitted to Eversource by Farrell Electric, Massachusetts Endanger Species Habitat permit approved "No take of Species".

Light use allowed on Wetlands first 50ft from Rushy Pond, including a more than 200 year old cart path down to Rushy Pond.

Serene setting 1/4 mile from traffic noise, includes two emergency access routes, Depot Rd, second is by way of unimproved Middle Road out to rt 39.

Two sets of architects, civil engineering site plans to choose from, one i acquired when i purchased #10, a typical two story, 3 bedroom with approved/expired building permit.

Or a 1500 sqft, one floor "Age in Place " one bedroom, master bath, floor to ceiling greenhouse/atrium off kitchen, wraparound deck, covered outdoor kitchen, seating area that can closed off for overnight guests with second bathroom. One car garage with carport, additionally a highly desirable cottage rental / ADU, providing $30k-$40k annual income or family member use.

A forced divorce sale of the abutting lot happened, because sellers nor buyers were willing to do their due diligence. Have the lot surveyed, site plan to acquire a permit for proof to build. Actually if sellers, realtors or buyers understood, town approved plans for #10 in 2018, according to town code only 2 homes can be built on a rural rode. It's pretty obvious it could have been build on.

According to a local long time attorney who share several times permits are easily attainable.

Now that I have acquired all development documents:

• 2 site plans
• 2 sets of house plans
• 2 sets of septic system
• septic system permit in hand
• Power site plan
• Road Access survey plan
• Existing well

I've decided to sell rather than continue on this 4 year (stalled by two civil engineers) development, at 73 its time to choose a simpler path.
