Description
After acquiring the property in 1983, the owner created a rustic homestead in which to live largely off the land. Over a three-decade period, she labored alone, creating a garden, developing woodland trails, building sheds, planting apple trees, cutting firewood, watching wildlife, and making upgrades to the home camp. The property is ideal for the buyer seeking a working camp to spend weekends and enjoy everything this forest has to offer. Property highlights include: · Rustic home camp with abundant light, solar power, phone service, hot water and shower; · Established driveway to large fenced gardens, open meadow and a small, swimmable pond; · Developed woods trails and abundant wildlife. The forest’s management plan is comprehensive, detailing many of the land’s natural resources. Two forest stands were delineated in the plan: a 33-acre mixedwood area holding both mature stems and younger areas (the latter the result of thinning 10 years ago) and a 40-acre, more mature hardwood stand, having been most recently harvested 35 years ago. It hosts maples, birch, beech and cherry, with size classes from 8” to 16”, combining to create an attractive aesthetic appeal. As mentioned in the management plan “Signs that moose and deer use the property are widespread. The owner has also seen bear, fisher, long-tailed weasel, ermine, hare, grouse, turkey, porcupine, raccoon, fox and many birds, including owls and hawks”. No invasive species have been noted on or near the property
