Property Description
Anna Whiteside Woods is 265+/- acres of central Vermont forest spanning the Worcester and Middlesex town line, held by one family for generations. Downs Road defines the northern boundary, Woods Road runs along the west, and a portion of the eastern edge fronts Route 12. Streams thread the center of the parcel, feeding a small pond and cutting deep ravines through ledge in the southwest corner. Deer, moose, bears, and turkeys use this ground as a matter of routine. A well-established woods road enters near the northwest corner and runs south to the streams at the center of the property, with a second access point at the lower end of Downs Road at a former log landing. Old ski trails branch from the main road and open much of the northern two-thirds to hiking, hunting, skiing, and camping. Access to the southern acreage is rough - a feature for anyone who wants their back land to stay quiet. A current Forest Management Plan prepared in March 2026 by Larson Forestry Services documents four stands on productive Site Class II soils. Stand 2, at 190.4 acres, is the heart of the parcel: white pine, red maple, hemlock, red spruce, and sugar maple carrying 7-11 MBF per acre, with sound straight stems that responded well to a harvest 25 years ago. The 17-acre upland hardwood stand in the southwest is the standout - red maple, sugar maple, and yellow birch, 44% large sawlog, 11-13 MBF per acre, no recent cutting. Thinning is prescribed across the managed stands for 2026-2031. Enrolled in Current Use, with acreage excluded along Woods Road for future homesites. No wastewater permit; state permitting required for residential use. Recreation, timber, wildlife habitat, long-term conservation, or a homestead in the woods. Buyer to verify acreage, access and permitting. Also, separately for sale are two 5-acre buildable lots, MLS#5087836 and #5087842, along Wood Road with WW permits and designs in place which could be purchased and allow for faster permitting.
