540 Shampeny Hill Road, Hancock, VT 05748

Located in the heart of the Green Mountains, about a half mile from Vt Rte 125 in the village of Hancock, these 35.6 acres of forest, streams, and hills are only a short drive from Killington, Sugarbush, and the Middlebury Snow Bowl. The Green Mountain National Forest abuts this land on the north and west, providing vast recreational opportunities for hiking, fishing skiing, hunting, birding and more.

Running along the property's southwestern boundary is Taylor Brook, home to brook trout, which offers lovely little waterfalls and pools. Evidence of people who worked the land many years ago, stone walls and at least one old foundation, is still present.

Old trails tempt the adventurous explorer. Mature trees include white ash, sugar maple, red maple, birch, white pine, and hemlock. The topography slopes gently from north to south and is interspersed with level spots. Selective clearing will open to mountain views. Acres where you'll always be surprised, whether navigating on snowshoes on a February afternoon or through a sudden downpour in August with fish pole in hand.
