turnpike road south

Tucked away off Turnpike Road South in Thetford, Vermont, this land-only offering includes two wooded parcels totaling 23+/- acres (19 acres and 4 acres). The property is located 2.5 miles from where Houghton Hill Road intersects Route 113 at the top of Thetford Hill. The land begins on the eastern side of Turnpike Road South, just south of where the Class III section ends and the Class IV portion begins. This transition point offers the best access into the property: the terrain is level, making it easy to turn off the road. About 300 feet in, following an old logging road, there is a wooded plateau at roughly 1,350 feet in elevation. This is a potential build site. With clearing, the plateau may offer long-range views of Mount Ascutney. The soils in this location have been tested and are suitable for a mound septic system. Overhead power is approximately 600 - 700 feet south of this site on the other side (west) of Turnpike Road South. Beyond the build site, old woods roads continue to wind upward through the forest, leading to stands of mature hemlock and younger oaks, moss-covered ledges, and blankets of ferns. The landscape is alive with wildlife and birds —an inviting retreat for outdoor enthusiasts, naturalists, or anyone seeking privacy and solitude. The land continues all the way to the top of the ridge 1,465 +/- feet in elevation.
