Buck Brook Forest offers an attractive 463-acre+- timberland and recreational property in Brighton and Charleston, Vermont. The property is situated just five miles west of Island Pond, offering a secluded forest that remains proximate to primary roads and services. The forest provides a well-stocked blend of northern hardwood species. Timber volumes are nearing a transitional value shift from pre-merchantable pulp-size to merchantable saw-timber size forest products that will support and accelerate value appreciation through the next ownership.

The property is enrolled in Vermont’s Use Value Appraisal program with a 2023 tax bill of $1,762.
