Additional Information

This is a beautiful well maintained piece of land, at the headwaters of the Jailbranch to the Winooski, with excellent woods roads throughout for easy access. It is situated on a dead end road but only seven miles to the nearest town. This is a turnkey sap operation with all the tools and equipment included. Conveniently, there is living quarters upstairs for the sugaring season. The woods have been in production since 2012, and the sugarmaker who purchases the concentrate would like to continue this arrangement with the new owners. 

There are spectacular views from the higher elevations, including Camel's Hump and the White Mountains. 

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to get into sugaring or an established sugarmaker who would like to expand their tap count. 
 

All acreage is enrolled in the Vermont Current Use Progam.
