175 acres in the mountains of Orange, VT a rare offering for anyone dreaming of a mountain camp, working sugarbush, or private retreat far enough from the crowds but close enough to keep living the good life. The land is laced with miles of trails winding through mature woods, all accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicles or side-by-side, opening the full reach of the property for recreation, sugaring, or simply exploring your own backyard wilderness. With Access to the VAST trail system, your exploring can go on for days. At its heart is a fully operational sugarbush with an established sap house and miles of tap lines already in place to continue the sugaring tradition yourself or lease the operation to a producer. This is a genuine, productive stand of mature maples, the kind that takes generations to grow. Infrastructure is ready for your vision: 200 amps of power, a drilled well, a poured concrete pad, and a 30'x 40' building with a full loft above. With some good old-fashioned New England know-how, the sap house could be converted into a residence, the bones are here and the setting is unbeatable.
