This property would make an excellent investment not only for its natural resources and/or development of home sites, but for income generated by a telecommunications tower... Two adjacent properties consisting of 266 acres with 1,400-foot road frontage located on the south side of US Route 4, five minutes from Pico Ski Area, ten minutes from Rutland and fifteen minutes from the Killington access road...access to property via Route 4 and an upgraded hard packed road behind the Mendon Town Hall...property assessed at $345,000 in 2016 by Sergeant's Land Appraisers of Wallingford, VT...appraisal available upon request... Land has natural springs and borders the city of Rutland's watershed...in 2014 two separate foresters estimated 15,000+ potential taps on the property...the land slopes downhill to US Route 4 so the need for pumping sap would be minimal...in addition to sugar maples there are yellow and white birch, green and white ash, red maple, hemlock, spruce, and red and white pine...selective logging is an option on the land due to the abundance of mature trees...there are culverts and two dirt roads on the property as well as a commercial grade gravel pit...

There are numerous potential building sites on the lower 190-acre parcel with easy access to US Route 4...two sites were perked successfully prior to 2007...more pictures and a video available...feel free to contact me by phone show contact info )if you have any questions... The potential for sap extraction for use in the growing energy drink industry as well as syrup production, combined with a possible cell tower lease could be a money generating proposition for an investor...make me a reasonable offer and i will consider it...
