Search Land for Sale in Essex County, VT

Essex County is where Vermont land gets serious. More than eighty percent of the county is forest, much of it in large working timber holdings, and the parcels that come to market here are usually measured in tens or hundreds of acres rather than lots. What sells is remote hunting and recreational land, managed woodlots with an active harvest history, riverfront on the Connecticut and Nulhegan, and the occasional camp lot. Legal access is the single most important question on almost every parcel. CENTURY 21 Farm & Forest has specialized in this county for decades. Compare Caledonia on the Caledonia County land page.
