Locust Creek

Locust Creek offers an attractive timberland parcel with exceptional conservation and recreation values situated along both sides of the Chateauguay Road in Barnard, Vermont. The property is unique in that it is surrounded by an expansive network of public and private conserved forestland along the Appalachian Trail Corridor – providing for an expansive recreational footprint. The forest offers both hardwood and mixed wood timber stands with a diversity of age classes and structure. Recent thinning activity has retained a quality maple resource on mid-slope hardwood sites. A conservation easement prohibits residential development while encouraging ongoing forest management, maple sugaring and recreation. The easement permits development of a single 800-sf recreational camp for non-residential use. Locust Creek and a small pond provide attractive water resources and enhance wildlife values. The property is rich in agricultural history with old stone barn foundation, stone walls and hand-carved stone boundary markers. Recently updated forest management plan available upon request. The property is enrolled in Vermont’s UVA tax program ($556 in 2020). Access is via the Chateauguay Road from Morgan Corners. 175 acres +/-
