Property Maps

The subject property is located in the rural northern Vermont town of Kirby. Kirby is tucked into an area of Vermont where much of the land is actively managed forestland or family farmland. The forest itself takes in much of the ridgeline of Kirby Mountain, a locally prominent peak. Most residents commute to nearby towns with amenities including Lyndonville, about 15 minutes to the west, and St. Johnsbury, located about 20 minutes to the southwest. The town of Burke, home to Burke Mountain Ski Area, is about 15 minutes to the west.

From the Kirby Mountain Road, a Class III town-maintained gravel road, take Victory Hill Road easterly toward the property. Victory Hill Road is a Class IV town road that is passable during dry conditions. From Victory Hill Road, an unimproved right-of-way meanders southward for roughly 3,200' to the northern boundary of the property. The current condition of the right-of-way is suited for winter harvesting only.

Kirby Mountain Forest is defined by its well-stocked, sapling to pole-sized hardwood forest. In addition, the property offers a portion of the ridgeline of Kirby Mountain (at 2,500'). These features combine to create a well-suited blended asset, where good timber fundamentals and recreational potential make this an attractive forest. The state snowmobile trail system passes along the eastern portion of the property, affording access to hundreds of miles of groomed trails throughout the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. There is no immediate commercial timber harvesting opportunity. However, many portions of the property are well suited to pre-commercial thinning treatments.
