The Farmington Land Trust is proud to announce the acquisition of 8234 Farmington Avenue. This parcel, encompassing 1.84 acres, is located on the main corridor into town when exiting off I-84 on Route 4. Appraised at over $280,000, the property was generously donated by Stephen and Liz Kendrick on July 18, 2024. This donation ensures that the parcel will remain open space in perpetuity, safeguarding wildlife and leaving a legacy of conservation for future generations. The land's prime location enhances its significance to the community. Prior to the Kendricks acquiring the property in June 2021, the previous owner had listed the lot for sale as an approved building lot, with access from scenic Mountain Spring Road. Thanks to Stephen and Liz's generosity, no additional development will occur on this site, now called the Kendrick Parcel, preserving the wooded land forever.
Evan Cowles, Vice President of the Farmington Land Trust and chair of the Acquisitions Committee says: “The Farmington Land Trust worked with the Kendricks for several years to make the gift compatible with the Kendricks’ interest in privacy; but they were committed from the start to donating the parcel and persevered with their effort. We are very thankful for their meaningful contribution that will benefit the entire community for all time.” With this latest acquisition, the Farmington Land Trust now preserves 69 parcels of land, totaling over 300 acres.
