Parcel 2 is a forested 30-acre property situated on Schoolhouse Road in Jamaica, Vermont. From the intersection of Schoolhouse and South Hill Roads, the road winds around a sharp bend and climbs a short hill before reaching the majority of the property, which lies along the north side of the road. A weathered stone wall is found along the entire length of the road frontage, hinting at the land's rich agricultural history. The land itself is level, wooded terrain with several natural clearings near the road offering promising building sites for one or two homes, with power already available at the road. Notably, the town of Jamaica has no zoning restrictions, making this an exceptional opportunity to create a private family compound just minutes from some of the region's best outdoor recreation. An old woods road winds along the level contours of the property and continues onto the neighboring parcel, inviting exploration on foot or by ATV. Beyond the road, the land descends to the north into a wetland area a haven for a wide variety of birds and wildlife. Evidence of a resident beaver family can be seen in the twin ponds found just below the wetland, adding to the property's natural charm and biodiversity. The forest itself is impressive, featuring mature trees, some over a century old, lending a sense of peace and quiet while walking the land. While there may have been selective tree harvesting long ago, little trace of that history remains in the forested hillside today. Crisscrossing through the woods, additional stone walls stand as silent reminders of the property's farming past, adding character and a connection to Vermont's rural heritage. Schoolhouse Road eventually transitions into a Legal Town Trail, making it an ideal route for biking enthusiasts leading roughly 3 miles west to scenic Pikes Falls Road.
