The ownership is selling their property in two separate parcels, divided by the town line. The +/-60-acre Strafford parcel is well-suited for future home development, with paved town road frontage and roadside electric service. The +/-220 acre Thetford parcel is well suited to a camp or seasonal off-grid home development with beautiful local views. Both parcels have significant frontage along the West Branch of the Ompompanoosuc River. Both parcels have Restricted Use Areas associated with the reclaimed Elizabeth Copper Mine site. Location The parcels are situated in east central Vermont, 11 miles from the New Hampshire border. The local landscape is dominated by abundant forestland, with small farms in the valleys and widely scattered homes along roads. This area is part of the West Branch of the Ompompanoosuc River watershed, a sizable river that runs along both parcels. The hamlet of South Strafford is 1.7 miles to the northwest and is host to a general store. Norwich, Vermont, located 10 miles to the south, is the closest large town offering the most amenities. Interstate 91 is just east of Norwich, and across the Connecticut River is the Town of Hanover, host of Dartmouth College. Boston is just over a 2 hour drive. Access The land is accessed from New Boston Road, a graveled, town maintained road. There is no electric power along this part of the road. A +/-400 right of way road runs from the town road to the property boundary and gate. From the gate, a gravel road heads into the land in a northern direction for +/-2,325 to the lands open meadow and likely best camp location. From this point, the road continues through the land for another +/-3,950 (this last section of the road will need some maintenance before its drivable again; however, much of the road is graveled & ditched). Site Description The lands primary feature is its nearly 1/2 mile of river frontage at its northern end. Two old woods trails head to the river providing good access to this scenic water resource. Given the lands access, distance to electric power, Restricted Use Area, and opposing solar array, the highest and best use is likely a camp/seasonal home development, recreation, and/or forest management. A meadow at the end of the access road (see maps for location) offers attractive views to the west and north, a prime location to develop a large camp or seasonal home. There is a small woodland pond near the field that contains amphibians such as newts and frogs, and would be used for drinking water by deer and other animals in the forest. Elevations range from 730 along the river to 1,200 near the SE boundary. The terrain is mostly gently sloping, however, with steep terrain along the river. Timber The forest can be considered aesthetically scenic as it has been several decades since forest management has occurred, resulting in a high canopy thats easy to walk through. Generally, on the higher elevation and more level sites, northern hardwood species dominate. On the steeper slopes and along the river, dense hemlock stands are common, with large legacy trees throughout, holding diameters in the 18-24 size class. The hardwood stands have a range of diameters, are fully stocked, and include large legacy stems. The youngest age class was created from harvesting that occurred +/-24 years ago. Solar Lease Portions of the Restricted Area are occupied by a solar project operated by Greenwood Infrastructure, under a lease in which the lease period could remain for an additional +/-42 years. Annual lease income is $1.00. A copy of the lease agreement is available upon request. Restricted Use Area The property is part of the former Elizabeth Copper Mine whose reclamation and stabilization was finalized by the EPA. As part of EPAs reclamation/remedial action plan, the land includes a Restrictive Use Area covering a total of 79 acres as represented on the property maps and survey. This area can not be developed or disturbed in the future per the Grant of Environmental Restrictions, Right of Access, and Easement deed. Copy provided upon request.

This is a project property, and buyers should go in with eyes open. It will likely need to be a cash sale or a loan with at least 20-25% down. The existing home is a manufactured home in poor condition. In its current state it is not a move-in-ready house. Realistically, most people who have looked at it think it needs to be torn down, and full replacement should be assumed in your budgeting. The property sits on 8.5 acres along Meadow Brook, and it is located in a flood zone. Buyers should review FEMA flood maps and factor in flood insurance costs before making an offer. Water and septic are both unknowns. The dug well is shallow and has a known history of running dry. The septic system's type and condition are unknown. No reliable records or details are available for either system. Buyers should budget for inspection and likely repair or replacement of both. The solid assets are the scenic nature of the property and the two-story gambrel barn: two garage bays, a concrete floor, built-in workbenches, a workshop, a metal roof, and a large upper level. It could serve as storage or a workshop. Buyers should not rely on the limited information here and must complete their own full due diligence on the home, the well, the septic, the flood-zone status, and all systems. Priced at $115,000, this is a land-and-barn opportunity with a teardown likely, best suited to a contractor, builder, or cash buyer prepared for significant work and cost.
