ASCUTNEY VIEW FOREST LOCATION
DESCRIPTION (continued)
Ascutney View Forest is located in the rural outskirts of Claremont, New Hampshire, a pastoral area of modest homes, small family farms and working forests. The city of Claremont is an historic mill town along the banks of the Sugar River. With a population of 13,000, Claremont has evolved into a major center of retail and commerce within the Connecticut River Valley serving rural communities in New Hampshire and Vermont.
A year-round brook flows through the parcel, cascading in small waterfalls from the upper elevations. A smaller, seasonal brook joins the main brook on its way to the Sugar River less than a mile to the north. Forest soils are generally well-drained on the lower to mid slopes, with shallow and less fertile soils on the higher elevations.
Mount Ascutney Ski Area in Vermont lies just over the border to the west; to the east is the scenic Sunapee Lake Region, home to another ski resort and state park. Interstate 91 provides easy access to the area from northern or southern New England. Boston, Massachusetts is just over a twohour drive to the southeast.
ACCESS
Vermont’s rolling hills and distant Green Mountains rise in a series of ranges directly across from the forest. Recent tree clearing offers a nearly 180 degree view across the Connecticut River Valley. Mount Ascutney sits across the river and takes center stage as it rises prominently in the foreground to present a dramatic focal point. Terrain conditions along the plateau and in several other areas with mountain views appear favorable for locating a seasonal camp.
Access is via 0.6 miles of an unmaintained road, which is drivable with high-clearance, 4-wheel drive vehicles in the summer and fall months. In the winter, this portion of road becomes a groomed snowmobile trail. Approaching this unimproved section, the road is town-maintained (pavement followed by gravel) with electric power roadside. The access road becomes a groomed snowmobile trail in winter months.
TIMBER Tree species consist primarily of hardwoods (red oak, red maple, white and yellow birch and some beech), with a mix of hemlock, white pine and red spruce along the upper slopes.
DESCRIPTION
The forest occupies a significant portion of Unity Mountain’s northwest shoulder, where terrain ranges from nearly flat at a small plateau along the town line boundary to gently sloped. Elevations range from 1,000 ft ASL on the western boundary where Alden Road enters the tract to 1,700 ft near the southeast corner.
One of two brooks on the property.
Hemlocks can be found on the upper slopes.
Overall, the timber is in the pole to small sawlog size classes. Due to a timber harvest completed in 2008, most stands are in a re-growth phase where saplings are populating the openings. Wildlife dependent on such young habitat abounds, primarily deer but also grouse, snowshoe hare and various songbirds.
GUIDE PRICE US $290,000
