21 Gilley Rd, Tunbridge, VT 05077

Some of the prettiest vistas in Vermont can be found in the highlands of Tunbridge where productive hay fields, old farms and hardwood forests continue to define a rural heritage built on its working landscapes. 21 Gilley Road is surrounded by such beauty. It is also getting very hard to find a 153+/- acre parcel of land listed for sale with good access, forests, fields, streams, privacy, views, and serenity to build a home or farmstead. Owned by a local land trust, this offering includes a 4.5-acre house site that extends from Gilley Road to a private plateau, 1,300 ft in elevation, with long-range westerly views through intermittent trees. Overhead power is roughly 1/3 mile away. The balance of the land, 148.5+/- acres, is conserved restricting development and subdivision but allowing for forestry and agriculture, trails and recreation including, with prior approval, the construction of related structures such as a barn, sugar house, as well as a small primitive cabin, for periodic use. With its rolling topography, diverse habitats, mature sugar maples and hemlocks, old stone walls, younger brushy areas with smaller openings, beaver ponds, and perennial stream, this is a wonderful opportunity to build a new home, reclaim the land and fortify your life in the historic hills of Vermont.
