Description

Successful maple syrup farm with custom craftsman house, complete privacy, stunning views, a trail network, and excellent hunting. Continue the maple syrup harvests or simply enjoy the outdoors on this expansive property.

Sitting on the top of the hill with expansive west-facing views is the 1,400 sq. ft. custom craftsman with complete privacy. Entering the house, you are greeted by a large mudroom with plenty of space for boots and coats. The open concept design with towering cathedral ceiling in the main room has details throughout. Custom pine stair railings and exposed beams add to the house's character, complemented by the knotty pine ceilings. The kitchen has a seated bar overlooking the dining area and living room. There are two bedrooms on the first floor, along with a spacious full bath. Upstairs features an open loft and the perfect location for a home office or guest room. The walk-out basement gets full light and includes a media/game room, an additional bedroom, and a half-bath. The Adirondack room stretches the length of the house, has stunning views of the mountains to the West, and includes a wood stove. Hardwood birch floors are present throughout the first floor, in addition to slate tile in the mudroom and kitchen.

Rock walls frame the yard and lawn around the house, adding to the natural beauty of the property. There is plenty of room for a garden, and the small shed has been used for chickens and lambs. On the way to the Sap House is a small turtle pond surrounded by large White Pine trees. The farm consistently produces about 500 to 600 gallons of syrup each year from the roughly 3,000 tapped trees. Tap lines were installed in 2016/2017. The Sugar House has an RO machine capable of 600 gallons per hour. The 4'’ x14'’ Evaporator has a preheater hood and air injection. The farm is also set up for sheep and goats, with roughly 80 acres fenced for grazing. The sheep also take refuge in the open-air style barn near the Sugar House.

From the maple syrup to the sheep, the farm produces revenue each year and qualifies for an Ag exemption, which it is currently enrolled in. In addition to the maple trees, there are plenty of red and white oaks, which produce acorns. Hunters, take notice; this property sets up great for deer and turkey. There are ample sign throughout the property, from tracks to rubs and scrapes. The property runs north and south along the ridge and provides numerous stand locations to take advantage of varying wind directions. There are several large openings in the timber that are strong locations for a box blind or stand. The trail network, which runs throughout the property, helps to access the maple syrup lines but could also be used for ATVs or even horses. The property is in the shape of a horseshoe and slopes up towards the middle from the road with an elevation gain of just over 200 ft. There is over 6,000 ft. of road frontage on Truthville Road and Tanner Hill Road, just 6.5 Miles to Whitehall.
