A fruit orchard would flourish here. There is a magnificent quince tree and a few apple pear and apple trees scattered about which were part of the original homestead. The production of Maple Syrup is popular in this region and the property has the maple tree resource to produce gallons of high-grade syrup. Crops of black walnuts, acorns, beechnuts and hickory nuts are produced each year. Making honey is also a well-established industry in the area. FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES The timber resource, consisting of about 30 acres, is well positioned for long-term timber income as well as value appreciation over the coming decades. With an attractive species mix, the timber amenity represents a strong component of value to the investor. The forest resource is composed of quality Appalachian hardwoods. The forest can provide a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue. Capital Timber Value of the timber and pulpwood has not been determined at this time. The forest's predominately well-drained upland terrain has led to a resource dominated by hardwood species. Overall, the species composition is highly desirable and favors hardwood types, consisting primarily of, Sugar Maple, Poplar, Red Oak/Scarlet Oak, White Oak/Chestnut Oak, Soft Maple, Hickory, and a host of associated species (birch, sourwood, black gum, beech). The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. The Emerald Ash Borer, which has inundated the entire Northeast US, is present and the Ash component will significantly decline over the next decade. The Eastern Hemlock species is under siege by the Hemlock Wooly Adelgid and the hemlock will continue to decline over the next decade. There have been no forest fires in recent memory. The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns and cool green mosses. Crops of acorns and hickory nuts are produced each year from the abundant oak and hickory trees scattered about. Honeybees would do well here, and it would be possible to produce maple syrup from the sugar and red maple trees growing on the property. WATER A blueline stream runs along and through the northwestern portion of the property for about 1/4 mile. That stream should have regular water flow, especially during rain events and snow melt.
