About This Home

As of July 2015

Bucolic 2.28 acres across from the Ox Ridge Hunt Club, with a free-form pool (renovated in 2011) tucked away at the end of the sweeping lawn. The property backs up to the Wee Burn Country Club and there are no wetlands according to town map. Great opportunity to build the house of your dreams, or renovate the existing home, subject to requisite town approvals. Property is being sold in “as is” condition.
