0 Pond Hill Rd Unit 4755040 Lunenburg, VT 05906

Site Description The property has ±1,920’ of shoreline frontage along the northern end of Neal Pond, a 185-acre water resource with a maximum depth of 33’ whose shoreline is lined with seasonal homes and camps. Neal Pond is one of the region’s well-known, recreational lakes with state access at its southern end and fisheries of pumpkinseed, yellow perch, bullhead, chain pickerel, small/large mouth bass and northern pike. The property’s lake frontage is primarily wetland, however its western end offers an area of tree-lined shoreline, well suited to a dock and building development overlooking the lake. Terrain is variable, with the majority of land being gently to moderately sloped. Some steep terrain exists on the east side of the two hilltops that exist on the land, one located at the junctions of Pond Hill and Hall Roads and the other at the land’s northern end. Soils are generally well drained and productive, with the exception of areas adjacent to the streams where slopes are level and waterflow is limited. Elevation ranges from 1,700’ ASL (above sea level) at the western hilltop to 1,200’ ASL along the Neal Pond frontage. Aspect is primarily southern. While the property’s highest and best use is timber production and recreation, year-’round or seasonal home development is possible whether roadside along Pond Hill Road, closer to the pond near its northwestern end (road development required), or at the property’s center, overlooking the pond (with tree clearing). Timber Timber data taken in May 2019 reveal a total sawlog volume of 2,372 MBF International ¼” scale (2.3 MBF/acre), with 12,883 pulpwood cords (12.5 cords/acre). Combined total commercial per acre volume is 17.1 cords, a figure about average for the region. Stumpage values were assigned to the volumes in May of 2019, producing a property-wide Capital Timber Value (CTV) of $557,000 ($540/total acre).
