About this home

Escape to Nature – 46.30 Acres of Untouched Beauty in Salisbury. Nestled deep in the peaceful woods of Salisbury, this 46.30-acre parcel offers the perfect off-grid retreat or future homestead. Located at 51 Donovan Hill Road, the property is a rare opportunity for nature lovers, outdoor enthusiasts, or anyone seeking total privacy and tranquility. At the heart of the lot sits a rustic cabin, ideal for weekend getaways, hunting trips, or creative off-grid living. The cabin features a screened-in porch, a skylight that fills the space with natural light, and a wood stove to keep things warm and cozy. Gas lamps provide a nostalgic glow after sundown, while a solar composting toilet adds eco-friendly convenience. The roof is asphalt, offering solid protection from the elements, and a generator (negotiable with the sale) powers the essentials when needed. Nearby, a small outbuilding—currently used for wood or gear storage—adds utility and character to the setting. A stone-lined driveway leads you in from the road, guiding you through the trees to a small clearing with space for parking, picnicking, or potential expansion. The lot itself is rich with hardwood and evergreen forest, crisscrossed by trails and brimming with potential—whether for recreation, conservation, or development.
