Middle Plains Forest is located minutes from the Green Mountain National Forest just off Vermont Route 125. Just north of the property, Route 125 follows boulder-strewn Middlebury River upstream to the higher elevations of the national forest, where Middlebury College's Breadloaf summer campus is just 7 miles away. Two miles further to the southeast, just below Middlebury Gap, is the college's Snow Bowl Ski Area. Minutes to the west of Middle Plains Forest is East Middlebury Village, and just a short further drive to the northwest is Middlebury's historic village center and college campus. Access to the property is via a gravel road that leads to areas that provide home development options well away from neighbors and road noise. With tree clearing, nice views of the nearby Green Mountains are likely possible from these home sites. The land is situated on level glacial plains, the first private land west of the National Forest. A small brook traverses the southern portion of the land. The forest is one of the largest land holdings in this area and has been held by the same family since the late 1950's. Over the years, the goal of ownership has focused on growing high-quality timber, a goal that has been successfully achieved. Fine oak stands dominate the forest, covering well drained, mostly level terrain. Walking trails run through these woods, providing exceptional recreational opportunities.

The Bushey Trust is situated just minutes from Middlebury Village, a vibant community with all the necessities. One of its foundational institutions is Middlebury College, a first rank university which started in 1800 when the area was just a frontier town. The college campus has a seamless transition to the village center that is filled with restaurants, boutique stores, Inns, and an array of services. On the outskirts of the village, one can find a top rate medical center, golf course, quality elementary and high schools, food coop, nature center, hiking trails and more, making Middlebury a fine place to live, work and invest in. The land is located within walking distance to the village along the paved, Washington Street Extension, where water, sewer, electric, cable and phone services are roadside. Next to the property is an attractive home development whose main road offers additional access to the land's great meadow at the property's center. While location is a critical component of any real estate investment, it is also a property's special site attributes that creates a unique plot of land. The Bushey Trust property offers that special site attribute in its 24-acre, meadow located at the property's center. A private location, this level meadow has beautiful views of the Green Mountains and the land's surrounding pine forestland. A perfect location to build a home and develop other new uses for this agricultural gem.

This forestland parcel holds gently rolling terrain situated on a hill between nearby Green Mountain National Forest lands and the Lake Champlain Valley to the west. Direct access to Route 7 offers a minute's drive to East Middlebury Village, with downtown Middlebury just 4.5 miles to the north. This location of Vermont is one of the more desirable areas to live with its healthy jobs market and diverse outdoor recreational options. The property also offers an outstanding, managed timber resource. The property's terrain is mostly gently sloped, creating western and northern exposure, with soils that are predominately well-drained and productive. The property occupies the northern end of a forested hill situated between Route 7 and Lower Plains Road and lands of the Green Mountain National Forest to the east. From the clearing at the end of the access road, the land rises when headed easterly to the center of the forest. This is the height of land whose elevation is 740' Above Sea Level (ASL). While there are many suitable spots to develop a home site on the property, this location offers nice views of the GMNF lands to the east and the Champlain Valley to the west (with tree clearing). Beyond this height of land point, going easterly, the land slopes down and to the north, approaching the nearby Middlebury River where the low point elevation is 460'. A small stream runs through the north eastern end of the property.
