UPDATE: Sold - The 3,568-acre Eagle Ledge Timberland property represents a fully stocked timber investment asset that is dominated by mid-aged to maturing northern hardwoods with a mature softwood sub-component. Positive cash flow and steady asset appreciation will define this property as the overstocked stands are thinned in the coming decade. Easily accessible, the property is situated within 12 miles of Vermont's State Capital town of Montpelier with nearby markets for all products growing on the forest. The property's conservation easement creates an asking price significantly below the lands standing timber value ensuring timber growth will define future returns. The easement allows for the development of three camps giving the land a solid recreational amenity.
The property offers developed access at five landing points along Route 12, covering nearly all of the terrain sloping toward the river that runs along this paved road. In addition, an undeveloped right-of-way leading from Route 12 provides possible access to the extreme southern end of the land.
Much of the terrain that slopes in an easterly direction, as well as extreme eastern areas, are accessed from the unmaintained Eagle Ledge town road where various established landings exist. The north-central section of the land is accessed from the unmaintained portion of Hardwood Flats Road. The extreme southeast and northeast areas of the property do not benefit from developed access, a situation which has been accounted for when setting the asking price.
