SHELBURNE — A 7,150-acre tract of former paper company land in Shelburne and the unincorporated place of Success has been quietly sold to a Keene couple known for their land conservation efforts.
Acting as Falling Waters Forest LLC, Annie Faulkner and Robert King purchased the property from Bayroot LLC earlier this month. The property was managed by Warner Forest Management, which had recently logged some of the parcel.
