The home
About this home
175+/- acres of active sugarbush - a rare opportunity to own a productive, income-generating sugaring operation on 175+/- acres of beautiful Vermont woodland. This active and mature sugarbush runs over 7,000 taps into a beautifully maintained 30' x 40' sap house, 1,200 sq. ft., plus a 320 sq. ft. storage loft. Tucked away for privacy and quiet, the property offers the seclusion Vermont buyers dream of, yet remains conveniently accessible, with everyday amenities and nearby towns just a short drive away. You get the best of both: a peaceful retreat that never feels remote. Enrolled in Current Use, this is a genuinely productive sugarbush that generates significant annual income. Work it yourself, or lease the trees to established sugar producers and wholesale the sap and production. Infrastructure is already in place: 200-amp power and a drilled well on-site. Trails run throughout the property, offering access for sugaring, recreation, and hunting. Purchase the land and structures and create your own vision - a woodland retreat, homestead, or private getaway with the bones already established. Or purchase the equipment and acquire the entire operation, and step into a turnkey income stream in year one, with taps, sap house, and infrastructure ready to produce. Whether you're an experienced producer, an investor seeking a working asset, or a buyer drawn to the independence of Vermont land, 68 Melissa Lane delivers scale, income potential, and possibility. Serious sugaring. Real income. 175 acres of Vermont opportunity.
