Property Description

Own an established maple sugaring operation paired with a custom log-sided home with stunning westerly views of Mt Mansfield on approximately 170 acres in Wolcott. This property features 7,500-8,000 taps on site and a state-of-the-art sugarhouse designed for efficient, high-volume production. The sugarhouse includes hot-water cleaning throughout, 400-amp power within 50 feet, a 4'15' CDL Deluxe oil-fired evaporator, H2O Supra 9-post high-output RO system, long-bank 15" D&G filter press, two high-vacuum pumps, CDL monitoring with remote pump controls, dual CDL high-efficiency electric sap releasers, and 30,000 gallons of indoor sap storage. All sap is fully metered. The system has historically supported up to 25,000 taps when leasing additional woods or purchasing sap. On-site woods produce an impressive five-pound per tap average. A 30'40' equipment shed adds essential storage and workflow capacity. The home offers an inviting open living, dining, and kitchen area with birch and ceramic tile flooring, a main-level bedroom and full bath with laundry. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, and a half bath. The ground level provides a one-car garage, storage, and a workshop/office area. Heating is supplied by an high efficiency propane boiler with four zones, including radiant heat on the main level. The property is enrolled in Vermont's Current Use Program keeping taxes affordable. Options include purchasing the home, sugarbush, sugarhouse, and equipment on ~170 acres (subject to final survey) for $1.275M; adding a 1.58-acre permitted building lot for a total price of $1.375M; or acquiring the full 276 acres, which includes a gorgeous open field, a pond, and an added 1,000-1,500 tap potential for a total price of $1.75M. Of the full acreage, 79 acres are conserved. Convenient to amenities in Morrisville and to Stowe as well as the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, this is an exceptional opportunity to own a premier Vermont Maple Farm in a beautiful location.
