This is not a single-parcel ranch listing. It is a rare multi-parcel compound opportunity priced as one home! 80K invested in recent updates. Set at the end of a quiet, scenic road, this 2.21-acre property includes an updated ranch, a 2-car garage with a semi-finished second floor in- law possibility, and a separate buildable lot with a breathtaking river water view, an exceptional opportunity for a family compound, expansion, or income. The main home, 16 Curboy, offers sweeping views, a wraparound deck, mature plantings, and lovely interior spaces. The custom main bedroom is exceptional with its coffered ceiling, rich wood accents, custom cabinetry, a window seat with storage, a fireplace, and French doors to the deck. The living and dining rooms offer warmth and togetherness. The kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, and the bath is nicely updated. The adjacent garage provides two bays, storage, and a semi-finished upper level that can be extended to the main house or used independently as a studio, guest suite, or rental. The second parcel, 18 Curboy, offers a buildable lot with a water view of the Quinebaug River, along with fishing, paddling, canoeing, and trails. Buyers can build a home for a family member, create a true compound, or sell the lot separately. This property is in one of Sturbridge’s most desirable locations and is exceptionally private. The land has been lovingly cared for over 20 years: rich soil, fruit trees, perennial gardens, maple syrup, chickens- perfect for a small farm, self-sufficiency, multi-generational living, and a peaceful retreat. See detailed seller’s notes.
ADU Potential

Based on listing data, which indicates the property type — not the zoning district. Local dimensional, septic (Title 5), and historic-district requirements still apply. Not legal advice — verify with the municipality.
Estimates — not financial advice
These figures are illustrative estimates for informational purposes only — not an appraisal, valuation, or guarantee of rent, income, or returns, and not financial, tax, or investment advice. Rent is either the figure reported on the MLS listing — in-place rent that may differ from market and is not verified against the actual leases — or, where the listing reports none, an estimate from HUD Small Area Fair Market Rents, a government benchmark that may differ from actual market rent. Each figure is labelled with its source. Cap rate, NOI, and returns depend on the assumptions shown, which you can change. MLS and other third-party data may be inaccurate or out of date. Verify all figures independently and consult your own financial, tax, and legal advisors before making any investment decision.
