Roaring Brook Forest

Roaring Brook Forest is composed of two adjacent timberland properties (Cook & Palmer) totaling 500± acres situated along either side of Potato Hill Road in Thetford, Vermont. The Palmer lot offers a 457±-acre forest dominated by pine and oak timber with extensive logging roads and trails throughout. A conservation easement held by the Upper Valley Land Trust permits ongoing forest management, recreation and future development of a 600-square-foot recreational camp. The Cook lot offers an adjacent 39±-acre uneased lot with a 2-acre Use Value exclusion that offers a potential development site. Recent harvest entries have improved internal roads and retained significant mature timber volume. A June-2020 timber inventory shows 7.9 MBF and 25.2 cords per acre with an estimated $500,000+ in timber value (report available). Enrolled in Use Value Appraisal with 2020 taxes of just $2,195. Roaring Brook, a tributary of nearby Connecticut River, traverses the property providing an impressive series of waterfalls. The property offers views of the Connecticut River Valley and New Hampshire beyond. Proximate to Lake Fairlee, Lake Morey, Dartmouth Ski Way and Hanover, New Hampshire. Access is via Potato Hill Road South, a class four town road. Interstates 89 and 91 provide regional access via White River Junction.
