Investment Insights
Based on property information with market context.
This offering consists of approximately 200 acres of farmland and forest on Hardwick and Thompson Road in New Braintree, MA. The property includes about 60 acres in fields, with the balance in forest and wetlands. A recent timber appraisal identified a value of $135,000. A portion of the field acreage is currently leased to an organic farmer through 2025.
The land abuts hundreds of acres of conserved property held by the Mass Division of Fish and Wildlife, as well as private lands with Agricultural Preservation Restrictions (APR). The APR program requires the buyer to develop a farm plan that the seller and program review and approve. The APR program also includes a right to match a prospective buyer’s offer. The seller is also willing to lease approximately 12 additional acres of farm land around their home on its 15.5-acre lot.
For buyers and operators seeking farmland with established agricultural alignment, the current lease through 2025 and the potential for an additional 12-acre farm lease may support near-term continuity of operations. Prospective purchasers should note that APR obligations involve farm-plan review and approval, and that the APR program’s right to match can affect future transactions. The seller is willing to offer a Right of First Refusal on the main house, barn, and the 15.5 acres when they are ready to sell.
