The Wooded Triangle Of Rood Hill Road—25 Acres Of Forest Sanctuary, 2,000 Ft Of Road Frontage
Across from the blueberry fields lies this mature forest sanctuary held by the same family for generations, with 2,000 ft of road frontage and colonial stone walls throughout. This triangular parcel slopes eastward, extending 1,089 ft deep at its northern end and tapering to the road at the south—creating opportunities for 2-3 thoughtfully placed homesites within established woodland. At $165,000, it offers rare flexibility: a single woodland retreat or multiple secluded parcels, all bounded by the stone walls that speak to centuries of stewardship
The Descent
From Rood Hill Road's elevation, the land slopes gently eastward and northeast, creating natural terraces and building opportunities that work with, rather than against, the topography. The triangular shape extends roughly 1,089 feet deep at its northern end, tapering to the road at the southern point, an elegant geometry that offers both intimate road-adjacent sites and deeply private woodland settings. The forest here is not wilderness; it carries the memory of agricultural purpose in its stone boundaries and the careful way the trees have grown back. This is woodland that knows it was once tended, now returned to its own quiet rhythms.
The Frontage
Two thousand feet of road presence is extraordinary in rural Sandisfield, offering flexibility that's increasingly rare. Whether you envision a single entrance leading to a woodland retreat or multiple access points for separate parcels, the stone walls and established forest edge create natural privacy from the road while maintaining that essential connection to place.
The Opportunity
At $165,000 for nearly 25 acres, this represents woodland ownership at its most accessible. The eastern exposure ensures morning light reaches deep into the property, while the natural slope provides excellent drainage and the kind of building sites that feel organic to the landscape. Wetlands touch only one corner, leaving the majority of the acreage available for thoughtful development.
The Inheritance
Like the blueberry fields across the road, this woodland carries the mark of the same multi-generational stewardship. The stone walls speak to farming ancestors who understood land boundaries. The mature forest speaks to decades of patient restoration. Together, they represent an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire land that has been lovingly held rather than developed.
This is forest that invites you to become part of its ongoing story, whether you're drawn to the simplicity of woodland living, the potential for creating multiple family compounds, or the deep satisfaction of stewarding nearly 25 acres of established New England forest.
