Barnard Ridge Woodland represents a recreational property with an attractive site on which to build a camp for weekend stays and a base to explore the land and nearby hiking destinations, including The Lookout Trailhead along the Appalachian Trail. The ownership, The Conservation Fund (TCF), is a non-profit conservation organization whose mission statement is “TCF, working with public, private and nonprofit partners, protects America’s legacy of land and water resources through land acquisition, sustainable community and economic development, and leadership training, emphasizing the integration of economic and environmental goals”. Their goal in divesting is to raise funds to further their forestland conservation work on new projects. Property highlights include: Great location in Barnard within 4 miles of the village and Silver Lake; Attractive property site, well-suited to building a camp and recreation; Long-term timber appreciation opportunity from its standing timber value; Deeded access along an unmaintained town road, suitable for high clearance vehicles. The Chateauguay-Notown Region covers nearly 60,000 acres and is bounded by Routes 12 to the east, 4 to the south, 100 to the west and 107 to the north. The property is located in the area’s northeastern section. Because of its undeveloped nature, the region has been the focus of many conservation groups and individuals who have worked to protect its unique landscape. To date, over 30% of the area has been protected from development by various means (see location map for designation of protected lands in the region). The region’s scenic and natural significance has also made it a coveted place for investment. The property is located ±4 miles from the center of Barnard Village, a tiny but culturally diverse community located in central Vermont. At its heart is 84-acre Silver Lake which hosts seasonal and year-round shoreline homes, a town beach and a state park at its northern end.
