Brown Hill Forest South is one of two Vermont woodlot with exceptional timber, good access, easily developed camp sites, and a high-elevation ridge with an outstanding view-shed (see the nearly adjacent Brown Hill East). Located in the hamlet of Starksboro, Vermont, the property sits at the edge of the greater Burlington area (21 miles from downtown) and thus combines rural camp living with convenient access to a wealth of amenities. Lower terrain on the property is gentle, but it rises more steeply to a high-elevation ridge split by a saddle. An old internal trail leads to this plateau where there are areas of level ground interspersed with rock outcroppings.

The timber resource has not been disturbed for a few decades, resulting in the well-stocked forest conditions that exist today. Given the high stocking and careful management over time, stem quality is generally above average in many areas. Soils are predominately well-drained with good site productivity covering the majority of the forest. Sugar maple is the major species, and the property offers a good sugarbush opportunity with roughly 1,350 potential taps.
