Property Description

Opportunities like this are extremely rare in Amherst. Set on 4.3± acres just minutes from downtown, this one-owner property offers a unique combination of residential living and Town-approved small excavation business use, subject to variance conditions—something nearly impossible to find in this market. The current owner has successfully operated a small excavation business from this location for over 25 years. For contractors, landscapers, or trades, this property provides an ideal residential base with approved business use and supporting infrastructure already in place. The land is mostly level and highly usable, offering an excellent layout for a small business or equestrian use. A scenic babbling brook runs through the property, adding both natural appeal and a functional water source. You get privacy, space, and usability without sacrificing proximity to town, schools, and major routes. The property has been meticulously maintained, and it shows throughout. A legal 4-bedroom septic system offers flexibility for expansion or potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU), subject to approvals. The two-story barn/shop was engineered for strength, durability, and long-term use. It features 16-foot ceilings, an oversized overhead door, and is ideal for storage, equipment, or modify for equestrian use. The second floor is partially finished and heated, well-suited for office space or potential ADU use. Additional structures include a 3-car attached garage and a separate 3-car detached garage. Approved business use is subject to variance conditions.
