RARE DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY IN NEWTON’S PRESTIGIOUS FARLOW HILL. Skip months of permitting guesswork and unpredictable risk and bring your architectural masterpiece to life on this prime 0.36-acre sloped parcel, engineered perfectly for an iconic, multi-tiered estate with sweeping, elevated views. This property will be sold WITH RETAINING WALL PERMIT IN HAND. Having this critical wall permit package removes development friction and includes City Stamped & Approved Plans: Complete Architectural, Engineering, and Site Plans (civil engineering, structural drawings, certified land survey, topographical maps, and integrated drainage designs). Zoning Approvals: Special permit documentation alongside setback and variance approvals. Shovel-Ready Rights: Fully defined building footprint rights for the home design. A complete topographic report and comprehensive land survey are already executed and available for immediate review. Current zoning allows for a total of 4,800 gross square feet of custom living space that includes a by-right 1,200 SF attached or detached, Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU). Imagine an exquisite primary residence integrated into the hillside with a dramatic daylight walk-out lower level, plus a by-right 1,200 ADU, if desired, perfect for an ultra-private guest cottage, elite home office, or multi-generational suite. Note on Imagery: The sample listing photos was provided by a local luxury builder on a nearby, similarly sloped, landscape recently completed, to show for inspiration only. Design plans would need to be presented to zoning for approval. SELLER is OFFERING a CREATIVE, BUILDER-FRIENDLY FINANCING STRUCTURE to support liquidity management and free up cash flow. This allows the builder or custom buyer to comfortably absorb upfront foundation, engineering, and retaining wall work into their initial construction phase without tying up vital equity. Farlow Hill is renowned for its historic estate character, quiet tree-lined privacy, and premier commuter access to Boston, Cambridge, and the Mass Pike. Utilities available at the street line. Sold as-is. Buyer to perform own final due diligence.
