Kingfield Selectmen this week revisited the possibility of purchasing a 215-acre forest and pond that could be used for recreation and timber harvesting revenue. The gated acreage, which is owned by the Winter family, is at the top of Tufts Pond Road and includes Shiloh Pond. The family has a purchase and sale agreement with the Trust for Public Land would provide most of the $355,000 purchase price. However 20% would be paid by the town, donations, grants, fundraisers or other sources. Selectman Walter Kilbreth said some townspeople worry that future maintenance costs won’t be affordable.
