79± Acres of Premium Timberland
79± Acres of Premium Timberland | Rare Large-Acreage Investment Opportunity | Woodstock, CT
Marketing description
The property is legally described in a deed recorded at the Woodstock Town Hall, Book 196, Volumes 280 and 281, Parcel 2. It is also identified as Map 5707, Block 14, Lot 05 in the Woodstock Assessor's records. This parcel has existed in substantially the same configuration and description in deeds dating back to at least 1941.
Shaped somewhat like a raised right thumb, the land features wetlands along both sides with high, dry terrain running through the center. Several elevated areas may offer suitable building sites, potentially accommodating a home with a walk-out lower level. Two picturesque brooks frame the property--Lebanon Brook to the west and Potter Pond Brook to the east--creating a tranquil and secluded setting.
A bridge crossing Lebanon Brook may support vehicular traffic, although significant roadway improvements would be required to access it. The route leading to the bridge traverses low-lying sections that would need substantial fill.
Woodstock encompasses approximately 61.8 square miles in northeastern Connecticut and consists of six villages: South Woodstock, Woodstock Hill, North Woodstock, East Woodstock, West Woodstock, and Woodstock Valley. Its rural landscape and abundant outdoor recreation opportunities contribute to the charm of this classic New England town.
The town contains approximately 1.3 square miles of water, including lakes and ponds suitable for swimming, boating, and fishing.
This property is situated in northern Woodstock, bordered by Massachusetts to the north, Route 169 to the east, Route 197 to the south, and Route 198 to the west. The area is predominantly rural, characterized by scattered residences of varying ages and styles interspersed with expansive wooded tracts.
Nearby is the Solair Recreation League, a historic nudist resort encompassing approximately 108.5 acres. One of the oldest such communities in the United States, it borders an area that includes large holdings owned by the Southbridge Water Company, the Town of Woodstock, and the New Roxbury Land Trust. Within this contiguous 2,000-acre landscape, residences are remarkably sparse, underscoring the area's extraordinary privacy.
