Richford, VT 05476
Description
Discover endless possibilities on this 30.9+/- acre mature maple forest in the quiet mountain town of Richford, Vermont. Accessed via Wightman Hill Road, a year-round town-maintained gravel road, this property offers incredible convenience with Vermont Electric Coop and Consolidated Communications utility poles already on-site. You are perfectly positioned just minutes from the Canadian border, 10 minutes to Montgomery, and only 20 minutes to the legendary slopes of Jay Peak Resort. The land boasts approximately 2,500 mature maple sugar taps on a northeast slope, potentially allowing for a single main line down to the sap house. A sturdy 12’ x 28’ stick-built shed with 10-foot walls sits on the property. Originally designed to house sap bulk tanks, it can easily be used to launch your sugaring business, converted into a rugged hunting camp, or utilized as secure storage for ATVs and snowmobiles. If you are looking to build a primary residence or a recreational cabin, the front of the property has been cleared. The most practical and picturesque building spot sits just inside the wood line, utilizing the extra elevation to capture excellent views similar to the northern neighbor. An excellent woods road travels deep into the property, leading to a second clearing with equally amazing sights. Septic soil testing has been ordered, and reports will be provided upon receipt. The property is accessible and well-maintained, having been carefully logged a year and a half ago to remove storm-damaged trees. Because it is not currently enrolled in the Vermont Current Use program, you face no immediate building limitations or tree-size tapping restrictions, though the parcel is large enough to enroll and significantly reduce property taxes. Whether you want a profitable sugaring income, a winter sports basecamp, or a true "Big Woods" experience renowned for excellent deer and black bear hunting, this versatile property is the perfect canvas for your Vermont dreams.
