1919 ACRE PREMIER RECREATIONAL RETREAT: SMOKESHIRE VALLEY PRESERVE - 1,919.37AC forest preserve tucked into the hillside of a region known for its excellent ski resorts, world-class fly-fishing, fine dining and shopping, local arts and crafts, farmer's markets, scenic bike touring routes and seasonal festivals. The property's privacy and magnitude are especially unique given that it is easily accessible from major east coast cities including Boston, New York and Washington, DC, as well as international and regional airports. The property is handsomely outfitted with an antique home and barns, guest quarters, a newer caretaker's residence, kennels, period gas lamps and lush gardens; the improved area of the property is punctuated by a tapped sugar bush, apple orchard, 40+/-AC of rolling meadows and fields, deep water trout pond and extensive stone walls. There are bold views of the stone walls, meadow, mature tree lines and distant mountain ranges. The enchanting forest features a cozy cabin, streams, waterfalls, apple and berry orchards, beaver wetlands, miles of roads and recreation trails, an extensive internal road system, stone cellars, remnants of early settler homesteads, hydro-mills and stone-lined wells. Professionally managed for wildlife and ecosystem diversity, the property is home to beaver, white-tail deer, moose, black bear, red and gray fox, coyote, wild turkey, fisher, bobcat, mallard, wood duck, osprey, blue heron, native and stocked trout, woodcock, grouse, red-tailed hawks, owls and songbirds. The pristine condition of the forest has enhanced the water quality of all headwaters and tributaries flowing on the property, making for some of the best fly-fishing in the northern woodlands. Conservation easement opportunities are possible for those passionate about protecting the long term health and welfare of the natural resources while creating a legacy that can be enjoyed by future generations. |
