Description: The family purchased the house lot and 30 acres of woodland in 1974 from the Gay family, who had been the owners for six generations. In 1980, the Fleishmans bought the remaining portion of the original parcel, approximately 80 acres, making the ownership total 127 acres.
Key Features: Fleishman’s Wood is a well-stocked, well-regenerated parcel that has been lightly harvested for many years. This is a hardwood/mixedwood forest consisting of maples, beech, birches, white ash, along with balsam fir, hemlock and some white pine and red spruce. The land is gently sloping throughout most of the woodlot except for a steep slope up to a bench of land. The property drains into Barker Stream and into the Sandy River.
