Is there access? I don't see anything marked on the map. This might be landlocked and the only way you can get to it is with a helicopter or to talk one of the adjoining landowners into selling you an access easement(good luck with that). The other caveat is depending on what specific things are written into that Conservation Easement contract, it may state that there can be no building or cutting of trees whatsoever.

I checked the realtors website, it says access is through a field road, which could mean a lot of things. I'm betting their is no building for sure, and possibly no tree cutting as well. At under 2G's an acre and surrounded by farmland, it could have a ton of potential. They had a nice wide buck photo on the realtors website, and a bear as well.
I was kind of thinking the same thing, pretty much what happened on the back half of my old man's place, only it wasn't a private landowner denying access, it was the county denying us the ability to drive the 1/2 mile back across the clearcut logging road to reach our place after 25 years of letting us use it.:mad:
I had to look up the listing realtor. Elite realty out of Eau Claire. I can't remember the guys name offhand and I'm on my phone so I can't check the browser history.
Conservation easements make great neighbors - I wouldn't want to be the second owner of one.
It's a great FU to your benefactors if you have some greedy mooches waiting for you to keel over though. :D Kinda like a reverse mortgage on vacant land.
I've been doing some reading on RIM/WRP. How long must you own a property for land to be eligible for RIM? does it have to be farmland or can you enroll your entire property that includes trees, grass, crop, etc? I read it's 60% of market for non farmland, and 90% for farmland.
what are the pros/cons of RIM vs WRP?
if I should start a new thread just let me know. Figured I'd ask these questions as I think I read that you were familiar with the RIM program?
