Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This 30.9+/- acre property features a mature maple forest with approximately 2,500 mature maple sugar taps on a northeast slope. A 12’ x 28’ stick-built shed with 10-foot walls is on-site; it was originally designed to house sap bulk tanks and can serve for sugaring operations, rugged recreation use, or secure storage. The front of the property has been cleared for a future primary residence or recreational cabin, while a second clearing is reached via an existing woods road deeper into the woods. Septic soil testing has been ordered, and reports will be provided upon receipt.

Access is provided via Wightman Hill Road, described as a year-round town-maintained gravel road. Vermont Electric Coop and Consolidated Communications utility poles are already on-site, supporting readiness for utility service at the property. The land is positioned in a quiet mountain town and is described as minutes from the Canadian border, 10 minutes to Montgomery, and about 20 minutes to Jay Peak Resort.

The configuration suits buyers looking for “big woods” versatility, with opportunities to continue or expand sugaring given the established taps and slope. It may also fit winter and outdoor uses, supported by the existing woods road and multiple clearings. The property is not currently enrolled in the Vermont Current Use program, and the remarks state there are no immediate building limitations or tree-size tapping restrictions; the parcel is also large enough to enroll and reduce property taxes if desired.

Key Highlights

  • 30.9+/- acre mature maple forest accessed via Wightman Hill Road, a year‑round town‑maintained gravel road
  • Approx. 2,500 mature maple sugar taps on a northeast slope, with potential for a single main line to the sap house
  • Vermont Electric Coop and Consolidated Communications utility poles already on‑site
