East Hill Forest's attractive features of close proximity to Montpelier and end-of-the-road privacy are enhanced by its distinctive site attributes, which are aesthetically appealing and provide for a wide mix of varied uses. The land's southern end (along the town road) contains a 3-4-acre elevated meadow, with a house and garage centrally located and offering easterly views. From this location (elevation 1,040') terrain rises to East Hill located at the land's western end at a height of 1,680'. East Hill forms the upper limits of a watershed wholly contained on the property and drained by a stream that bisects the forest. Overall terrain is quite variable, offering areas of gentle slopes where evidence of an agricultural history remains, coupled with intermittent steeper areas leading to five distinct plateaus. Rock-outcropping is common within both the steeper areas and level plateaus, creating an interesting, scenic mix. Two smaller meadows are situated west of the house site at the end of the main internal road. Here, a late 1700s homestead was located as evidenced by numerous stone walls and a stone foundation. West of the lower meadow and along the town road, several other attractive potential house sites are available for future development including various sites along and at the terminus of the main internal road.

A ±20-acre, gently-sloping meadow sits at the land's southern end along the town road frontage. The meadow slopes downhill away from the road, ending at a stream that originates just to the north. Along this small stream and adjacent to the meadow is an open-water beaver pond created by an active beaver population. Various potential home sites within the meadow would provide fine views of the nearby valley and ridgetops, including Chases Mountain and Densmore Mountain; the upper ridge of Densmore Mountain is entirely on the land. The meadow offers a westerly exposure and full southerly sun year round. While no soil test pits for septic have been dug, soils in the meadow are largely high and dry. The parcel has ±2,100' of road frontage along town-maintained South Bear Swamp Road, where electric power is roadside. Most of the frontage is gently sloping, with two existing driveway cuts into the parcel's meadow. The forest management plan identifies four forest stands with forest operations last occurring ±35-40 years ago. Sugar maple is a common species and, at the lower slopes, a stand was previously used as a sugarbush. A well-developed woods trail leads from the back of the meadow to the upper mid-slopes of the land; this trail is used by VAST.

This unique parcel showcases interesting Mountain Views of Hunger Mountain and the Worcester Range. There are several building site options depending on what the new owner would like to do. There are two clearings that are close to the road that would provide easy access to power which is located at the road. These semi-cleared areas could be opened up to provide more local and long-range views facing east and north. There are also several old clearings that could be used to build a house or camp, with old stone walls and small tracks of forest breaking up the old fields. Depending on what your looking for, this could be your place to build a permanent home or an easy to get to vacation get-away.

Farmhouse type ranch on level lot surrounded by farmland with easy access to Montpelier, Middlesex, and I89. Oversized 2 car attached garage/barn, great garden space, fireplace in LR, very nice woodwork, 3 season sun room, full sun and perfect spot for solar. Look out back over corn fields and views across the river and valley beyond. Detached barn/run-in shed needs a bit of work but would make a great spot for animals or shop space. This place could use some TLC/updating but is perfectly livable, in the U32 school district, and would be a great property to put some sweat equity into. House has the feeling of an old farmhouse but with modern wiring, plumbing, etc. Great exposure for home business. House is being sold as-is. Come check out this affordable home in Middlesex.
