This property centers around a prominent hill that rises above the surrounding landscape. Two established trails loop around the high point, making it easy to walk and understand how the land lays. With the leaves off, the views open up and give a clear sense of the elevation and positioning. Walk it now and take in the full perspective while visibility is at its best. The woods are predominantly hardwoods, including oak, birch, beech, and maple. In the fall, these stands provide a steady food source, and there is consistent deer activity across the property for much of the year. It's not a primary wintering area, but it holds wildlife well through the hunting season. Spend some time and you'll start to see how the animals move through it. Access is noted by the town as being off the CMP easement on the southwest corner. There is also a well-used trail crossing unposted land from Murray Road that brings you in cleanly. As with many properties like this, walking it in person helps connect the pieces. Reach out and we'll set up a time to walk it together.
