The property has 1,200 of frontage along both sides of Shepard Hill Road, an unmaintained town road. The lands highest-and-best use is recreation, camp establishment and timber production. The terrain is diverse varying from gentle slopes at the lands western half (best location for camp development) to moderately steeper slopes in the eastern portion, where occasional rock outcroppings offer interesting terrain to explore. Soils are primarily well drained and quite productive, and forest aesthetics can be considered very good.
In addition, the timber resource provides a compelling case for current and future value appreciation. The recent timber inventory conducted by Fountains concludes a standing Capital Timber Value of $71,200 ($802/acre), representing 68% of the asking price. Generally the timber resource consist of three ages, with the majority of volume present in the 10-16 size class. The timber data indicates the potential for 4,400 sugar maple taps providing the opportunity to establish a moderate-sized sugarbush operation.
