Starr Mountain is an attractive Vermont timberland ownership offering an exceptional natural capital investment and forestland stewardship opportunity. Situated amongst the rolling green hills of the East Haven Range, Starr Mountain offers a large expanse of contiguous acreage with favorable site conditions and good access. The property has an extensive history of professional and sustainable forest management, providing a quality mid-rotational hardwood resource balanced by meaningful softwood diversity. A June-2025 timber inventory shows a forest carrying 4.7 MBF of sawtimber (sawlogs and tie/pallet) and 15.2 cords of pulpwood with an overall stocking of 24.5 gross cords per forested acre. The species mix is dominated by sugar maple, yellow birch and spruce/fir. The forest is poised for extensive product appreciation in coming years with potential for near term cash flows from a combination of silvicultural entries, sequestering carbon and recreational leasing. ?A Forest Legacy conservation easement ensures continued use of the property for timber production and recreation without excessive restriction of forest management. The property benefits from good access to regional pulpwood and sawtimber markets and is enrollment in Vermont's Use Value Appraisal tax program. Starr Mountain presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large Vermont property in a single contiguous footprint situated in the heart of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.

Boorn Brook Farm combines the rich character of history and the comfort of contemporary living with complete privacy. Established in the late 1700s, the estate near Manchester Center offers stunning views of the Mt. Equinox and the Taconic Range. Surrounded by the Green Mountain National Forest, it creates a peaceful haven that balances the old and the new. For over 50 years, Marion Gould Pleissner lived at the Plaza in New York City and summered here while her husband, celebrated artist Ogden Pleissner, used the barn as his studio-his works now hang at the Met, Shelburne Museum and in private collections. The 1790s farmhouse and 1820s barn underwent extensive renovations by Boston architects Judge, Skelton, Smith. The farmhouse was thoughtfully restored, while the barn was transformed into two living spaces. Modern updates, including new utilities and underground infrastructure, were discreetly integrated to preserve the pristine vistas. The Great Room of the Barn have seen many lively gatherings over the years. Today, this multi-generational sanctuary remains a tranquil retreat, bordered by Bourn Brook and encircled by the GMNF's Lye Brook Wilderness Area. The property retains its pastoral allure with goats grazing the fields and timeless pleasures like fly fishing, hiking and swimming. Currently serving as a family compound and wedding venue, the property holds an Act 250 permit for up to 43 cabins. For more details, refer to the commercial listing.
