Beanville Road Forest
Beanville Road Forest is an easily accessible Vermont forestland with mostly gentle terrain, a maturing red oak and sugar maple sawtimber resource and river frontage. The propertys value is contained within its maturing standing timber value, making it best suited to buyers seeking long or short term returns from the growth and/or harvest of the timber resource.
The forest is in the southeastern corner of Vershire and 3 miles from Lake Fairlee, a summertime destination. Interstate 91 and the village of Fairlee are 11 miles to the east. From the property, it is 2 hours southeast to Boston and 4 hours southwest to New York City. Access is provided by a short right-of-way that leads into the land from Beanville Road. Once on the property, an internal road leads to an old landing and small gravel pit. From this point, the old internal road leads into the land 1,330 farther. Electric ...
The forest is in the southeastern corner of Vershire and 3 miles from Lake Fairlee, a summertime destination. Interstate 91 and the village of Fairlee are 11 miles to the east. From the property, it is 2 hours southeast to Boston and 4 hours southwest to New York City. Access is provided by a short right-of-way that leads into the land from Beanville Road. Once on the property, an internal road leads to an old landing and small gravel pit. From this point, the old internal road leads into the land 1,330 farther. Electric and telephone service run along Beanville Road.
The property covers a mix of gentle to moderate terrain, with well-drained soil conditions suited to the red oak and sugar maple that dominate the forest. An intermittent stream runs down the middle of the property and the southern property boundary fronts along a branch of the Ompompanoosuc River. This river runs year-round and swells to a fast-flowing river in the spring and at high water times. The central section of the land has level terrain where many stone walls and an old foundation are reminders of the regions late 1700s settlement history.
Timber data in this report are based on a comprehensive timber inventory conducted in June of 2017 from which Capital Timber Value was calculated at $226,900 ($1,262/total acre). The species composition is dominated by hardwoods (95%) and offers a solid mix of commercially desirable species with red oak and sugar maple holding 68% of the total together. The sawlog volume breakdown is similar, and nearly ideal, with the two most solidly performing species (red oak and sugar maple) making up 85% of the sawlog volume. Fully-stocked stands prevail and stem quality is excellent. Since the tenure of the current owner began in 1997, thinning last occurred about 18 years ago. Then, the focus was to concentrate growth on the highest quality crop trees. The extreme northern end was thinned again in 2014.
