The property is accessed by Herring Brook Road, a gravel road that creates 2.7 miles of property frontage. The land's frontage is on an unmaintained portion of the road, 0.4 miles from the town-maintained section of the road, where electric power is available. The northernmost property area offers a 0.7-mile seasonal internal road (culverts pulled) into the center of this operating unit. Topography is varied, however the majority of slopes are gentle to moderate. Areas of steep slopes can be found on terrain leading up to hill tops and along streams. Many of the areas adjacent to Herring Brook and Lynch Hill Roads are level, former cropland that was planted to softwood species in the 1950s. Elevations peak at 2000' atop Chase Mountain, and are at their lowest point at 1,000' where Herring Brook flows off the forest. Well-drained, upland soils predominate. This timberland investment has been carefully managed for 30 years, with third-party FSC certification covering the last 10 years, yielding one of the finest timber resource tracts in the region. The asset appreciation management regime has focused growth on chosen species, favoring the highest stem quality, and producing a crop that is at or nearing maturity. The standing timber has a current value of $2,560,000.

Moretown Gap Forest is a versatile property with potential for: 1) home development made easy by the land's long road frontage, level terrain, and nearby town village, 2) sugarbush conversion with the high concentrations of maple stands, and 3) conservation, given the land's unique size and location within the landscape. The property has two primary points of access. Moretown Mountain Road is graveled and town-maintained, creating 6,260' of frontage along the land's northern boundary. Electric power and telephone service run along this road. With tree clearing, this area provides attractive local views of nearby forestland with an occasional distant home. The view also includes a panoramic view of the Green Mountain Range that extends from Mt. Abraham at Sugarbush Ski Resort to Camels Hump and beyond to the north. The view also covers the southern end of the Worcester Range with Mt. Hunger in sight, and Mt. Mansfield to the northwest. The timber resource has been carefully managed and has a property-wide Capital Timber Value (CTV) of $907,000 ($1,168/total acre). The property offers a sugarbush opportunity on an estimated 68% of its acreage. Total tap count for the entire property is 27,328

Bald Mountain Forest is a versatile property with potential for diverse recreation, a new home in a scenic meadow, and conservation of significant forestland in the heart of Vermont. Highlights include 6 miles of recreational trails; a remote wilderness cabin with stunning views; an excellent location near ski resorts and I-89; and a pleasant homesite. Most of the property is forested; the upper elevations drape over the eastern shoulder of Bald Mountain. Topography is sloping across the entire property, ranging from moderate to steep. Several intermittent streams flow through the property and a beaver meadow can be seen from the cabin. Three miles into the property at 2,280 ft is a solid, comfortable, 240 sq ft cabin, built as close as possible to the edge of the rocky ledge for maximum views. Facing east, the location looks across the rolling hills of Vermont to the Presidential Range in NH's White Mountains. On a clear day, Mount Washington is visible. Inside, the cabin features a vaulted ceiling, many windows and 3 bunks, 2 of which are accessed by a ladder. A built-in table by the windows compliments a rudimentary cooking area with a two-burner propane stove and a dry sink. Heat is provided by a wood stove. The cabin is truly a unique feature where you can enjoy the property with no one around for miles. The 10 acres across the road from the majority of the property provide an ideal location to build a home, although other home sites may be discovered elsewhere.

The land is all forested, with terrain moderately sloping uphill from the road frontage to the higher ground at the back of the property. Here, the land levels out, but undulates in spots around rock outcrops and an occasional vernal pool. The terrain is easy to walk and quite compatible to recreational activities and future woodland management. Soils are well drained and productive in most areas; however, rock outcroppings are common and poorly-drained pockets are found where the land levels out to the north. Elevation ranges from 700' along Kelly Brook to 1,160' at the northwestern corner. A southern aspect prevails, with an intermittent stream nearly bisecting the land. The timber resource is the centerpiece of the property. Species composition is dominated by sugar maple, American beech, red maple, white ash, cherry and pockets of scatted, large-diameter white pine. Stem quality of the maple, ash and cherry is high, providing very good asset appreciation potential in the coming decades for these species. The timber resource is a classic example of a three-aged stand. Generally, three age classes exist: a younger age class of 25 years, a middle age class of 45 years and older age class of 75+ years. The maple resource density appears to support a small sugarbush opportunity with ±50 taps per acre possible. The slope is ideal for a sugarbush, as it runs down to the road and electric power. Timber data is unavailable, currently.

So, rarely in my years of real estate have I seen such a wonderful meadow, close to Montpelier, that has so much potential and affordable. It's currently in land use so the taxes are low. It's prime ag land, it's prime real estate development land, it has sun 24/7, it's near a stream but high up above the flood plain. Start a family farm, family compound, subdivide and retain the rest for free. There are so many possibilities. Location, Location, Sun, Soils, wonderful, wonderful piece of property.
