501 Fellows Road , Guildhall, VT 05905(Essex County)

The Mountain View Cabin is located in quaint Guildhall, Vermont, just west of the border between Vermont and New Hampshire. Just east, the Connecticut River forms the state line and offers fishing and paddling opportunities, especially on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which winds from Old Forge, NY, to Fort Kent, ME. The surrounding landscape on the Vermont side is primarily forested, with thousands of acres of public or publicly-accessible forests, trails, and roads available for exploration. Surrounding development is limited, with only scattered homes and camps dotting the landscape and featuring small farms in the valley areas. In New Hampshire, only a short drive away, the town of Lancaster contains many local and unique amenities, including dining, a brewery, shops, a theater, and emergency services. Only 12 minutes away, the Gateway to the Great North Woods ensures access to services when needed.

The property is well-situated for the outdoor enthusiast. Vermont and New Hampshire snowmobile and ATV trails are nearby to the south and north, with a Vast snowmobile trail crossing the property to the south. Kingdom Heritage Conservation Lands (Vt) to the west provides ample opportunities for hiking, biking, fishing, hunting, and exploration, while in New Hampshire, the White Mountain National Forest is found only slightly east of Lancaster. To the north, the Great North Woods of Pittsburg offers many of the same opportunities. For investors, the property offers great potential for short-term rental to outdoorspeople seeking these activities.

Burke Mountain, a renowned destination for mountain biking and alpine skiing, is located 22 miles to the west, about a 45-minute drive along the scenic Granby Road. The Bretton Woods Ski Area and Mount Washington, home to the famous Tuckerman's Ravine and scenic toll road, are just 29 miles to the south. The property is just minutes from Us-2 and Us-3, serving destinations in all directions. Burlington, VT, is approximately 2.25 hours away. Travelers from Boston, MA, and Portland, ME can expect a 3.5-Hour journey.

Access to the property is easily found from Fellows Road, a maintained Class 3 public road originating from Vt-102. From here, a recently-built gravel driveway winds 0.67 miles until reaching the height of land, the pole barn, and the camp. Both Fellows Road and the driveway are suitable for all vehicles.

Along with the camp, the property features 238 acres of scenic forestland, mostly hardwood timber, although with softwood included in certain stands. The forest is generally young, having been logged around 30-40 years ago, but has since regenerated with small pole-sized hardwood timber. Certain areas were not harvested and boast more mature growing stock. The species mix is predominated by maples, ash, birch, and beech, representing a typical Vermont hardwood species mix. The property is well placed for future asset appreciation as these stems grow into sawlog classes.

A main feature of the property is the extensive trail network, some of which is professionally constructed, which allows easy access to all areas of the property for powersports riding, hiking, hunting, dog walking, skiing, and mountain biking. Trails have been maintained by the landowner over the years and are ready for immediate use. Due to the mixture of forest species and age classes, wildlife signs of moose, deer, bear, and partridge are easily found in the forest. Located in WMU E2, short-term rental investors may find demand from hunters and anglers looking to explore the North Woods.
