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.

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.

Our office deals with remote land and camps on a regular basis. We like to preserve Vermont heritage lands. Sometimes a special piece of land comes along, and this parcel qualifies. It's remote, the whole area is coveted by locals because your only 5 miles from down town Montpelier, yet here is a parcel of land on an extremely good class 4 road that takes you up to thousands of acres that the town is trying to preserve and currently on the market. There is a gentle slope to the property and if you come to clearing and camp on the right you've come just a little too far, but you'll see the view potential. Wonderful location for off the grid home or camp retreat. Locals have taken the sign off the post for good reason, they don't want people up there. Protect our Vermont Heritage, keep it in the family. Please respect memorial and cross on side of road. Holds snow forever, these photos taken on April 12, still ample snowmobiling or make a nice sugaring site.
