A unique chance to own an important piece of wilderness in the Wild Branch watershed with mountain, river, and wildlife. 242 +/- acres in Current Use with a focus on forest and animal habitat stewardship, and being sold as such. Several easily accessible potential off grid homesites - choose from sunset views, among apple trees, or above the first landing listening to the Wild Branch river & watching the wildlife below you - or venture even further to the upper landing. Or simply enjoy this as wilderness with its flora and fauna - there is so much here to explore & admire. VT Fish and Wildlife has been conducting fish surveys in the Wild Branch on this property since 1938, and Sterling College students access it for the forest stewardship program; one student survey documented over thirty bird species. Work has been done with grant assistance to enhance the old apple orchards & improve the wildlife browse trails (which currently double as hiking, skiing, and snowshoe trails!). Acreage below the Wild Branch has gone untouched for many years and is just waiting for hiking adventures/to be explored/whatever. Several large open areas serve as pollinator support and substantial wild berry production. All within close proximity to the Craftsbury Outdoor Center & mid way between Jay Peak Resort & Stowe Mountain. If you are looking for a long term land investment, to enjoy the great outdoors and / or to aid in general conservation efforts, this large parcel is well worth a look!
