Privately sited on 1.84 acres in an exclusive three-home enclave surrounded by conservation land, this exceptional property offers a rare estate-like setting with remarkable privacy while remaining minutes from Acton Center, award-winning schools, shopping, restaurants, the MBTA commuter rail, and major commuting routes. This distinctive home blends architectural character, modern comfort, and an extraordinary connection to nature.Designed to capture beautiful views from the main living spaces, oversized windows and skylights fill the home with natural light while bringing the outdoors in. At the heart of the home is a high-end European-designed kitchen featuring Wolf, Miele, and Sub-Zero appliances, custom German SieMatic cabinetry, granite countertops, a large center island, and skylit dining area. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into the dramatic cathedral-ceiling family room with exposed beams, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and walls of glass overlooking the lush private grounds.A custom Archadeck screened porch with mahogany flooring extends the living space outdoors. A Japanese-inspired stone garden, flowering and fruit trees, specimen plantings, and mature granite stone walls create a tranquil retreat. Sliding doors open to a bluestone patio and pebble-lined walkway connecting back to the screened porch for effortless indoor-outdoor living and entertaining.The spacious primary suite features a private Juliet balcony, partially vaulted ceiling, and en-suite bath. Four additional bedrooms offer exceptional flexibility for guests, home offices, or creative spaces. A family bath rebuilt from the studs in 2022, along with renovated front entry and powder room spaces, further enhances the home. The partially finished lower level provides additional recreation or hobby space and two walk-in storage areas. A mudroom with first-floor laundry leads to the attached two-car garage. An irrigation system and custom oversized storage shed add convenience.Recent improvements include fresh exterior paint (2026), a hybrid heat-pump system with buried propane tank (2023), spray foam attic insulation, and three new mini-split systems (2026). A rare opportunity to own one of Acton's most distinctive private retreats.
ADU Potential
Massachusetts allows one accessory dwelling unit by right in single-family zoning districts statewide (M.G.L. c. 40A §3; 760 CMR 71.00, effective Feb 2025).

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.
