If you are looking to get into timberland investing and want to start with a small acreage and well stocked property, look no further! Intensive management has been conducted on this property for many years and it certainly shows. Recent timber cruise shows over 3,000 board feet per acre of mostly high quality red and white oak with a dribble of hard and soft maple. Active forest management over the years has created an excellent network of logging roads that can also be used for ATVs, hiking and getting to your favorite tree stand in the dark with ease.
A recent timber harvest only removed large over mature trees and undesirable stems leaving the residual stand well-spaced and in an excellent position to accrue volume and value for many years to come. Along with the harvest a herbicide treatment was conducted to remove invasive species and allowing the red and white oak seedlings to flourish with increased sunlight. Tops were left in the woods to protect the seedlings from deer browse to increase the chances of survival for the seedlings.
If timberland investing isn’t your cup of tea no problem, this is an excellent large acreage building opportunity on a quiet road with power at the road frontage with a flat area ready for your next home or camp! You have multiple options on where you can potentially build, there is approximately 1200’ feet of flat and dry road frontage. The steep drainage on the west side of the property acts as a perfect pinch point for wild game and is an excellent spot for a tree stand or ground blind, right along the hemlock bank. The ATV trails have recently been bulldozed and are smooth and in great condition.
