The remaining acreage is protected under a conservation easement held by the Vermont Land Trust, which limits subdivision and non-agricultural development but supports ongoing farming, forestry, and related uses. The easement is intended to preserve long-term agricultural viability and natural resources while allowing active working land use. Any specific use should be reviewed in accordance with easement terms.

Tenure Arrangement
For Sale $150,000
Tenure arrangement details
The primary goal is to sell subdivided parcels of the property to farmers or agricultural users. I am open to flexible arrangements to facilitate a sale, including owner financing or lease-to-own options with strong terms (e.g., 50% down). Short- to mid-term leases may also be considered as a transition toward purchase. The intent is to match the right farmer with the right parcel while maintaining active agricultural use and responsible land stewardship.
