57.2 acres of extremely well managed forest land privately located yet less than a half mile from Vermont Route 12. Great home site potential close to Barnard Village and easy access to I-89. Extensive hiking/recreational trails meander throughout the property. Approximately 35 acres are populated with high quality mature (90-plus years old) white pine trees. Approximately another 13 acres are in sugar maple and there is about 9 acres of hemlock. A stumpage value (end value to the landowner) of approximately $90,000 has been estimated for the property by a professional forester. 100% of the property is currently in land use. Marketing all or some portion of the timber value would offer a significant offset to house site development costs.
