Westford Forest was historically used for agriculture as evidenced by the many stone walls and piles. Over the last 50-100 years, the property has reforested and is now considered well-above average in quality. The current timber is defined by high stocking, exceptional stem quality, varied age structure, and high-valued hardwood species composition including butternut, black cherry and ash.
Well-drained, productive soils and a timber resource dominated by sugar maple offer excellent sugar bush potential and an old sugarhouse foundation indicates a history of this use as well. Other notable features on the property include a 5 acre wetland, a softwoods plantation and gentle terrain throughout. Good access and close proximity to services and amenities coupled with privacy and a neighborhood of well-built homes combine to offer attractive homesite possibilities.
