175 acres in the mountains of Orange, VT - a rare offering for anyone dreaming of a mountain camp, working sugarbush, or private retreat far enough from the crowds but close enough to keep living the good life. The land is laced with miles of trails winding through mature woods, all accessible by four-wheel-drive vehicles or side-by-side, opening the full reach of the property for recreation, sugaring, or simply exploring your own backyard wilderness. At its heart is a fully operational sugarbush with an established sap house and miles of tap lines already in place to continue the sugaring tradition yourself or lease the operation to a producer. This is a genuine, productive stand of mature maples, the kind that takes generations to grow. Infrastructure is ready for your vision: 200 amps of power, a drilled well, a poured concrete pad, and a 30'x 40' building with a full loft above. With some good old-fashioned New England know-how, the sap house could be converted into a residence, the bones are here and the setting is unbeatable. A major plus for the buyer with vision: the Town of Orange has NO ZONING, offering exceptional flexibility to shape the property around your goals. The property is enrolled in Current Use, keeping the tax burden low, and a forest management plan is available for review; a real head start for anyone continuing to steward this working landscape. Come explore the land and dream up your options - family camp, homestead, hunting retreat, working farm, or a place to simply disappear into the mountains. Whatever you have in mind, this property gives you the room and the raw material to build it. Note: property would require a wastewater permit, as none currently exists; buyers should perform due diligence regarding permitting and intended use.
