Ideally suited for home development where one can enjoy views of the Green Mountains from Sugarbush to Camels Hump and beyond. There are two points of road frontage for the property, one with an established driveway and clearing and the other with a potential driveway cut into the property's high ground. Internal trails are well developed and easy to walk. The terrain is mostly gently sloping, creating western exposure with soils that are predominately well-drained and productive. Three streams run through the land. The high point on the forest is at the property's eastern end, not far from the road frontage. This spot offers the best views and is the most easily accessed, when considering driveway construction. However, nice views are possible from most areas of the forest. The timber resource has been carefully managed and has a property-wide Capital Timber Value $65,800. Hemlock makes up the majority of volume followed by yellow birch, the maples and white pine. The forest was thinned in 2014 using a classic silvicultural “shelterwood” treatment whereby the lower ground stems were removed and thinning occurred in the overstory. This treatment creates open ground conditions, allowing long visibility and easy walking. A thinned white pine stand at the western end of the property offers “park-like” aesthetics and the sugar maple crop trees on the northern half of the land are of exceptional quality.
