If it’s large trees or wildlife you seek, look no further. This 56-acre parcel is mostly forested with 5 acres of meadow, all in current use. There are two access roads, one on the North side, a flat area with potential for building with a large ShelterCoat 13x28” wind and snow rated garage. The second road is in the middle and needs some work to be easily drivable. If you’re looking for mountain views and nice timber equity, this is it. Some thinning would help open up the canopy for the young growth. Vast tree variety of mature ash and wild cherry with lots of huge white pines, as well as some maple trees estimated at over 200 years old, birch with chaga mushrooms and large hemlock with reishi mushrooms. Mature spruce and aspen abound. Established and recently planted edible, medicinal, and ornamental plants include: golden seal, blue cohosh, ramps, wild ginger, golden rod, wild geraniums, ostrich fern, wild violets, stinging nettle, ground nuts, a grafted apple, wild apples, several hazelnut trees, daffodils, day lilies, lavender, yarrow, milkweed, blackberries and raspberries, echinacea, 2 varieties of asparagus, lovage, and rhubarb. It strikes the perfect balance between the peace and solitude of nature, but with easy access to the amenities you need. Only a 1/4 mile walk to Big Falls State Park, and just across the road is the Mississquoi River where you can fish, swim, and kayak. 15 minutes to the East Coast’s snowiest ski resort, Jay Peak, which boasts a year round indoor water park. The amenities of Newport are only a 15 minute drive away, where you can find Lake Memphremagog, shopping, and family-run restaurants and shops. This property is wonderfully located in the middle of nowhere, but in the center of everything! Perfect for starting your own homestead, investing in your timber stand, or organizing your own sugaring grove and farm. If you are looking for a property that has all that potential and more, you found it!
