About this home
Townshend, Vermont sits in the heart of the West River Valley, minutes from Grafton, Londonderry, and Brattleboro. The property borders Vermont Route 30 and offers easy access to two of southern Vermont's premier ski resorts and the broader four-season recreational economy. A rare opportunity to own nearly 100 acres of productive Vermont forestland in one of Windham County's most scenic corridors — with infrastructure in place, income potential, and a ready-to-build house site. The Land: Spanning an elevational range from 600 to 1,200 feet, this property commands spectacular sunset views overlooking Townshend Dam Lake and the West River Valley. The forest is mature and well-stocked — last harvested in 1999 — with a professional Forest Management Plan in place prepared under the Family Forest Carbon Program (FFCP). Five distinct management stands encompass Northern Hardwood and Hemlock-Northern Hardwood Forest types, featuring Sugar Maple, Red Maple, Black Birch, American Beech, and Eastern hemlock throughout. Income-Producing Carbon Program A 5-acre parcel has been withheld from the carbon program specifically to accommodate a residential build. A 5-bedroom wastewater permit is pending. A driveway has been roughed in with culverts, extending approximately half a mile into the property — meaningful infrastructure in a town with no zoning restriction. Property features .. 20 miles to Stratton Mountain Resort (~38 minutes via VT 30/100) 30 miles to Mount Snow Resort (~45 minutes via VT 30/100) Direct VAST trail access for snowmobiling and year-round recreation 20' shipping container on site for tools, equipment, or materials storage Timber value building since 1999 harvest. Townshend's lack of zoning offers maximum flexibility for future use...
