In other words, is it a problem when the only access to a property from the nearest public road (that is, a road maintained by federal, state or county government) is a private road or trail that crosses an adjoining landowner’s property. LANDTHINK PULSE: OWNING LAND ADJOINING A NATIONAL FOREST According to October’s LANDTHINK Pulse results, an overwhelming 84.5% of respondents believe that owning land adjoining a national forest, park or wildlife refuge is a definite advantage.Owning property adjacent to state or federal land certainly has pros and cons. Advantages would include assurance that the land next door would not be sold to developers, and your view would remain the LUMBER PRICES VERSUS TIMBER PRICES AND QUESTIONING FOREST Prior to the Great Recession of 2007-2009, Forisk’s research and original price forecast models found a positive, modest correlation of 0.2 to 0.4 between pine sawtimber stumpage and softwood lumber prices with a lag of 6 to 15 months. This relationship varied across states and local timber markets, and over time. WHAT IS THE USE OF CURRENT USE? Share This! Let’s start with a definition: “Current Use” is a state-specific property tax reduction program in which landowners with qualifying forests or farms can get a significant annual tax break if enrolled. The primary benefits to the landowner are the reduced property taxes which can help you hold on to your property. KEY TAX TIPS EVERY RANCHER SHOULD KNOW Ranch life is far from simple and that fact holds true at tax time as well. Operating a ranch often involves multiple revenue streams and expenses, deductions and credits, all of which can complicate things when it’s time to file your taxes. If you’re filing your taxes as a rancher for the first time, or even a seasoned rancher wanting to LAND INVESTING IN OPPORTUNITY ZONE FUNDS If the QOF purchases an existing building and the underlying land, the QOF is only required to substantially improve (“double the basis”) the building. The cost of the land is disregarded for this purpose. So for example, if someone buys a piece of farmland in a QOZ for $1 million (land value: $900,000 and an existing processing facility NORTH AMERICA’S LARGEST TIMBERLAND OWNERS AND MANAGERS Each owns at least 1 million acres (versus requiring 900,000 acres to make the top 10 in 2019).

SHOULD YOU BUY PROPERTY WITHOUT LEGAL ACCESS? Should you buy property without legal access? October 27, 2009. 5 Min Read. I learned this week about 150 acres of land for sale that was priced at about $300/A. It seems to have a lot of merchantable timber, more than enough to cover the cost of acquisition. But I haven’t had a chance yet to confirm that prospect. It did have two problems.

THE REAL DUTTON RANCH: YELLOWSTONE'S BACKDROP ISN'T ALL Over the past few years, Yellowstone has become just as synonymous with the Dutton family as with our country’s first national park. To many, the word conjures up a picture of native wildlife against the backdrop of forests, canyons, hot springs and geysers. RURAL LIFESTYLE, LAND LIVING, FAMILY VALUES, RECREATION How and where we choose to live depends on many factors. See what land professionals and enthusiasts have to say about rural living, recreation, family values, education, health, the environment, economic challenges, global issues, and more. Get land smart! PULSE: POST COVID-19, RURAL AREAS WILL CONTINUE TO SEE Since COVID-19 struck in the early days of March 2020, the number of people swapping city life for country living has risen. According to the April LANDTHINK Pulse results, 77.6% of respondents believe that the migration of people from big cities and metropolitan areas to rural locations will continue post-pandemic. Americans fled big cities in droves, flocking to rural spots to wait out DEALING WITH UNDIVIDED INTEREST IN RURAL LAND Undivided interest means the title to a piece of real estate is held by two or more persons, but that the land itself is not divided among them; the land is a single, undivided parcel. This type of ownership usually occurs when a piece of property is inherited by siblings or if friends/partners/investors buy a piece of land together. What WHAT PRICE SHOULD A BUYER OFFER? The buyer’s valuation of a property produces a buyer’s price, which is what the property is worth to the buyer. The distinction between current market value (or appraisal value) and value to the buyer (buyer’s price) is crucial. A property fairly and honestly appraised at $1 million may only be worth $700,000 to a particular

buyer, given

FIVE TIPS FOR RECREATIONAL PROPERTY BUYERS Five Tips for Recreational Property Buyers. Share This! The good news for recreational property buyers is that sales prices in many areas appear to have bottomed out, reducing the fear that you could have gotten a better deal if you’d waited to buy. That said, it often isn’t simple to know whether you are offering a fair price for a

property.

WHAT IS A RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL, AND HOW DOES IT WORK A right of first refusal (RFR) in a real-estate contract is typically a mechanism that gives to a specific party the right to be the first allowed to purchase a particular property if it’s offered for sale. The holder has the right to refuse to buy the property; it can be a confusing concept. An RFR is a future right, and it is contingent on the property being put on the market. WHEN PURCHASING RURAL LAND, SHOULD YOU BUY TITLE INSURANCE This is a highly unusual case, but it illustrates well the types of issues that may arise that necessitate title insurance. Title insurance is a common sense purchase when buying a piece of rural land.
