The property borders Vermont Route 30 and offers easy access to two of southern Vermont's premier ski resorts and the broader four-season recreational economy. A rare opportunity to own nearly 100 acres of productive Vermont forestland in one of Windham County's most scenic corridors — with infrastructure in place, income potential, and a ready-to-build house site. The Land: Spanning an elevational range from 600 to 1,200 feet, this property commands spectacular sunset views overlooking Townshend Dam Lake and the West River Valley. The forest is mature and well-stocked — last harvested in 1999 — with a professional Forest Management Plan in place prepared under the Family Forest Carbon Program (FFCP). Five distinct management stands encompass Northern Hardwood and Hemlock-Northern Hardwood Forest types, featuring Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Black Birch, American Beech, and Eastern hemlock throughout. Income-Producing Carbon Program A 5-acre parcel has been withheld from the carbon program specifically to accommodate a residential build. A 5-bedroom wastewater permit is pending.
