Why We Like This Property: Unfragmented landscape; water security & quality guaranteed by watershed control; rich wildlife habitat; robust wildlife population; excellent peripheral & internal access; field & edge openings; variable topography; variable solar aspect; diverse forest and NTFP (non-timber forest products) species for medicinal/food/fuel wildcrafting & foraging (eg. medicinal, edible fungi & plants like Reishi, red-belted polypore, birch polypore, stinging nettles); not over-improved with buildings; low carrying costs for a property of this size, quality & proximity to major metropolitan areas; easy access to major travel corridors and services; beauty; privacy. 

Spanning nearly 2,000 acres, Chester Forest & Farm's size, contiguousness, 1.5-mile internal private road, diverse soil types and slope aspects, plentiful water resources, and close proximity to key regional markets like New York City and Boston, are its most valuable assets. Complementing them are excellent site access and privacy.  Used as a family retreat, with the land managed primarily as a working forest, the property is in pristine condition.
