21 Nickerson Rd Brandon, VT 05733

This 34-acre lot in Brandon, VT, presents a development opportunity. Zoned primarily High-Density Multi-use with a minimum lot size of 1/5th acre, the property is strategically located between the Middlebury and Rutland employment areas, potentially providing much-needed housing expansion. The town has confirmed that this lot will be in the new Tier 1B Act250 exempt area when implemented, which may reduce permitting issues. Municipal water and sewer are available on the frontage, and the town has indicated there is sufficient capacity. Power and high-speed internet are also available on the frontages. Access will be via Carver St or Nickeson Rd, potentially eliminating the need for a state highway permit. The property features mountain views to the west from the ridgeline (with clearing) and to the southeast from the open bowl area (existing views). Tier 1B allows for up to 50 units, most of which could have views. The revitalized Brandon downtown area offers dining, a supermarket, shopping, and a community health center. Town officials are reportedly supportive of a housing development. The seller is open to opportunities and offers to benefit the community.
