About the Listing 5996 - 283585

An exceptional opportunity for builders and investors—this 6.49-acre parcel in Newport is fully approved for a 20-home conventional subdivision plus one lot for common open space. With frontage on Elm Street (331 feet) and the well-traveled John Stark Highway (466 feet), the site offers strong visibility, dual access, and a central, walkable location ideal for residential development. Zoned R-1 and served by municipal water and sewer, the plan includes lots ranging from 0.23 to 0.59 acres, averaging 0.31 acres each. The four largest lots—0.46, 0.55, 0.58, and 0.59 acres—offer flexibility for varied home designs and pricing. Developers may also consider a denser cluster-style layout with expanded common space, subject to town approval. The site includes limited wetlands, fully accounted for in the approved plan, which supports all 20 home sites as designed. The property borders Kathan Gardens & Gifts and is less than one mile from Newport’s historic downtown. It’s just 10 minutes from Mount Sunapee Resort and 20 minutes from Route I-89, with convenient access to New Hampshire’s year-round recreation activities. With approvals in hand and utilities at the street, this is a rare chance to build in one of Sullivan County’s most charming towns.
