National Forest View Forest Parcel consists of 80 acres of forest and around 17 acres of meadows and fields. There are several potential building sites on this parcel, and all have views of the Green Mountain National Forest in Rochester. The national forest provides year-round recreational activities including canoeing, swimming, hiking, fishing and hunting all in an undisturbed forest wilderness. The properties are accessed from Maple Hill Road and Austin Hill Road, which are both off Vermont Route 73, which makes for very easy access year-round with power at the street The town of Rochester is just down the road with a mix of small shops including a hardware store, bookstore and café, a full-service mountain bike shop, several restaurants and a grocery store. Bethel, Vermont is 25 miles away, providing access to I-89 and points south and north. Route 73 East traverses the National Forest toward Brandon, Vermont, with Middlebury a bit further north. Warren and Waitsfield are less than a half hour to the north, which is where you'll be able to ski both Sugarbush Resort and Mad River Glen ski areas. This part of the state has long been known as a hidden gem in central Vermont, with all of the activities, amenities and landscapes that so many people love about living in the Green Mountain State. *There is an old derelict farmhouse on the road that would need to be torn down. It has not been lived-in for many years, and is uninhabitable and unsafe.*
