Our office deals with remote land and camps on a regular basis. We like to preserve Vermont heritage lands. Sometimes a special piece of land comes along, and this parcel qualifies. It's remote, the whole area is coveted by locals because your only 5 miles from down town Montpelier, yet here is a parcel of land on an extremely good class 4 road that takes you up to thousands of acres that the town is trying to preserve and currently on the market. There is a gentle slope to the property and if you come to clearing and camp on the right you've come just a little too far, but you'll see the view potential. Wonderful location for off the grid home or camp retreat. Locals have taken the sign off the post for good reason, they don't want people up there. Protect our Vermont Heritage, keep it in the family. Please respect memorial and cross on side of road. Holds snow forever, these photos taken on April 12, still ample snowmobiling or make a nice sugaring site.

Tug Ridge Forest is perched above the Connecticut River Valley and offers seclusion, off-grid cabin sites and potential views, all within the vibrant Upper Valley Region. The property rests on an east-facing ridge on the slopes of Tug Mountain. The property is generally sloped with a few level spots and a few areas that are quite steep. The property is completely forested with a few breaks in the canopy here and there. Intermittent streams flow freely and bedrock protrusions are common. Deer and moose sign is plentiful and other game animals likely inhabit this forest, making it an accessible hunting location. In 2006, two sub-lots on the property were identified and granted septic permits. These two lots would make ideal spots for a cabin for hunting, peaceful retreat or recreational pursuits. Up on the ridge, there are potential views, with clearing, to the south and east of the Connecticut River Valley and New Hampshire hills. The majority of the timber resource is eastern hemlock. The Ompompanoosuc River flows along Route 113 near the property access and Lake Fairlee is 5 minutes away. A terrific location for privacy and lots of recreation. The ROW has allowed passage of a Prius but needs some upgrading to be of that quality again. Right, now, it is suitable for high-clearance vehicles, barring downed trees.
