Halibut Mountain Forest
Halibut Mountain Forest is a conserved timberland property in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The property has roughly 1,180 of frontage along Guildhall Hill Road, a town road maintained to within 1 mile of the property, as well as several old logging roads leading into the forest.
The northern section of the property occupies the upper slopes of Halibut Mountain, while the northeastern areas of the land rise to a ridge on Sheridan Mountain. The center of the property is a bowl bordered by these two ridges. Soils leading to the ridges and mountain tops are well-drained and capable of supporting quality northern hardwoods. Drainage in the central and southwestern areas is adequate, supporting mixed species such as spruce, fir, ash, birch, maple and cedar. Topography is mostly gentle with the exception of some steep slopes leading to Halibut Mountain.

The property has been professionally managed for decades under even-aged management schemes with long periods between entries. The resulting timber resource is dominated by newly regenerated stands in the southwestern and central portions of the land and pole to small sawlog-sized stands on the slopes leading to the ridge tops in the north and east. The regenerated areas are fully stocked with natural regeneration and are beginning to differentiate into crown classes. Long-term timber returns lie in the high-quality regeneration and growing stock/sawlog component within the older stands. Given the stand conditions, the forest is well suited to the long-term buyer seeking appreciation from the developing timber resource.
The property's conservation easement allows for timber management but no building.
