Conservation easement details

Not all of the land is conserved. Approximately 34.47 acres are excluded from conservation and remain fully developable, offering flexibility for farm infrastructure, housing, or additional agricultural uses. 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 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.
