The topography of the timber tract is sloped. The land rises from the low point of 540 feet above sea level to a high point of approximately 610 feet above sea level. The soils that make up the site are predominantly silty loams that are described as capable of handling intense farming. Roughly 2/3 of the lot has class 2 soils that would work well for growing farm crops. The trees growing on this section of the lot are noticeably larger, straighter and in better overall condition than the trees growing on the roughly 13 acres that are characterized as class 7 soil.
The stand of trees on the property varies from hardwood stands to some mixed wood. The majority of the property having stands of hardwood comprised of maple, birch and some beach thrown into the mix. Pockets of mixed wood with the majority of the softwood stems being fir. The fir I observed appeared to be growing pretty well, especially in the area with the better soil conditions. The property was last logged in 2012, and looks very good. The old logging trails are easy to walk along throughout most of the parcel.
