Starting Search for Land

Anyone bought land in a conservation easement? Seems there are a lot of various things that cannot be done but could be a good way to get some cheaper rec land. Just curious what anyone's experience dealing with for example foothills conservation easement

My hunting property is under the foothills conservation easement. It only has minor restrictions on it if I were to ever build (which I'm not). Off the top of my head, the biggest two are the house and outbuildings have to be an earth toned color and you can only have x amount of square footage on structures for x amount of acreage. It's also under greenbelt.

That's the problem to get the price per acre down it has to half a million or million dollars to spend. If that's the kind of money you have to spend to get 3500 an acre how many on here could possibly pull that off. Most people are talking about 20 acres little more little less.nobody I know or hunt with has half a million dollars to spend on land.

In my lifetime it will be you hunt what you own. I can't see it playing out any other way.

Uncle Bubba,

Without question, the most common price of "cheap" land in the region (west of Nashville) is $3,000-3,500/acre. I see quite a few of those.

The OP is looking for 50-100 acres with a $250K budget.
Yes, you can find large tracts of land (200+ acres) for around $2-$3K/acre and the occasional smaller tract of land as well but they are few and far between. Our farm is in this area and we are paying close attention to all of this nonsense going on. It's getting real hard for the locals to keep and stay where we have lived for generations.

Agree completely. VERY difficult to find smaller tracts for value. Small tracts are crazy high. I also see the trend of taking 40-50 acres and breaking them into 5-acre parcels for homes. Another small-land killer.

That is what's happening all around us, children/grandchildren are inheriting their family farms and are selling them off as quick as they can. They are very shortsighted by the quick dollar they can make.
2-5 acre tracts around here are selling for $100K/acre and a 105 acre farm that used to belong to my Great-Grandparents sold 2 years ago for $2.5million, it's ridiculous.
