October Place
Dailey Hollow Road : Bridgewater, VT 05034
Windsor County, Vermont
Land Description
October Place is a significant central Vermont forest with a multi-generational family stewardship legacy offering a well-stocked, maturing timber resource, close proximity to nearby, popular destinations and distinctive homestead development options. The partially conserved property covers two watersheds and stretch 2.1 miles from the Dailey Hollow River to the Ottauquechee River. At the end of one of the many access roads is one of the property’s most notable features - a large, hidden meadow, which offers extreme privacy and peacefulness. The land’s original multiple ownership pattern has produced a rich array of old roads, paths, cellar holes, stone walls and “fence rows,” many running along former parcel boundaries. The property’s terrain is as diverse as its history, ranging from gently sloping areas to steep ravines along the property’s three internal hollows. Water resources consist of three, upper-watershed flows including Cold Brook, Dailey Hollow Brook and the Third Branch of the Ottauquechee River.
The forests of October Place have been professionally managed for over 8 decades under a continuous, long-term family vision. The result is a forestry legacy seldom rivaled in the United States. Impressive sugar maple stands, well-stocked spruce/hardwood units, and mature softwood groves characterize this timber resource. While the property offers various distinctive building sites, the land’s standing timber resource comprises most of the property’s asking price, a unique marketplace opportunity which ensures future appreciation will be grounded in the productivity of this impressive timber resource.
