Windham Woods Forest offers 289.12 acres of productive, predominantly hardwood timberland in the scenic southern Green Mountains of Jamaica, VT, an area prized for sparse development, strong wildlife habitat, and proximity to the Green Mountain National Forest and Stratton Mountain Resort. The property boasts significant Legal Trail frontage on both Black Bear and Melis Roads and sits directly on VAST Trail 710, offering outstanding snowmobile access. A recent F&W Forestry timber inventory (April 2026) documented 1,409 MBF of sawlog volume and 5,449 cords of pulpwood, for a Capital Timber Value of $290,100 ($1,031/commercial acre), a well-stocked, diverse forest managed for decades with excellent regrowth potential. Terrain rises to 2,040' at the property's high point, with a former log landing offering a ready building site. The land will be conveyed subject to a conservation easement held by the Vermont Land Trust, permitting sustainable forestry, agricultural use, and recreation, including rights to build an 800 sq ft off-grid camp, use ATVs, and post against trespassing.
