Motivated Seller - Make an offer! This 78 acre wooded parcel has beautiful, fish filled Violette Brook running through it. The curves in the brook make natural beaches, and the pristine water is relaxing to listen to. The land is well wooded, and could be harvested for timber or used as a private family camp area as it was for several generations. Easy access to ATV trails, snowmobile trails, and the Town of Van Buren. Access is through seasonal Alexander Road, then a town road and finally a private...Motivated Seller - Make an offer! This 78 acre wooded parcel has beautiful, fish filled Violette Brook running through it. The curves in the brook make natural beaches, and the pristine water is relaxing to listen to. The land is well wooded, and could be harvested for timber or used as a private family camp area as it was for several generations. Easy access to ATV trails, snowmobile trails, and the Town of Van Buren. Access is through seasonal Alexander Road, then a town road and finally a private way with landowner permission to pass. These roads are seasonal and you will need a snowmobile to access in the winter. Hide away in your own forest and relax by the babbling brook. Low taxes and easy maintenance. See photos of northernmost boundary with GPS coordinates to aid in locating. Reference with tax map to get an idea of parcel layout.
