Portions of the parcel are relatively flat; however rock outcrop and ledgy areas abound throughout the parcel. Endless possibilities exist: everything from the most awesome private mountain biking trails, back country skiing to hunting and fishing

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.
