The value of land appreciates while you enjoy it’s many benefits. Unlike a stock certificate, you can enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, hunting and many other activities with the ownership of recreation land. While you enjoy the land, the trees continue to grow and provide an asset that can be made liquid in a fairly short amount of time.
FAMILY TIME: With our fast paced way of life, quality family time can be hard to come by. Owning recreation land provides an opportunity for the family to spend time away from the distractions of every day life.
CAMPING: Create your own camp ground with a fire pit, tents, cabins or a spot for the family R.V. You no longer have to make reservations for the “Best” spot..you own it! Save time from having to pack up all of your gear every visit. With your own land, you can leave the essentials for the next visit. You’ll have less set up time and more play time.
HUNTING: Avoid the crowds and frustration of hunting public lands. Create your own wildlife habitat and game management. Set up your tree stands and blinds for the season, not the day. Design food plots for larger, healthier wildlife. The Northwest has a wide variety of wildlife that can be nurtured on your own hunting land.
PRIVACY: With the right amount of acreage, you can achieve the elbow room you and your family have been looking for. Sometimes it’s nice to enjoy the peace and quite of the wilderness with nothing but the sound of the wind through the trees.
WILDLIFE: Stop in the woods, pull up a log and watch the forest come to life. You’ll be amazed at the activity you witness. When you stop, the birds chirp, the squirrels chatter and the deer wander through the trees.
Recreational Vehicles: Motorcycles, 4-wheelers and snowmobiles can add enjoyment to your outdoor activities. Be it easier access or the highest mark on the snow covered hillside, you can set your own rules with ownership of recreation land. Make your own trails, jumps and challenge course. Teach your kids riding skills without the chaos of public motor parks.
Horseback Riding: Build your own corral and hay storage. Create riding trails throughout your ownership. Hunt or view wildlife from horseback. Having your own horse set up provides easier and faster access to enjoy adjacent public lands.
FIREWOOD: Stop purchasing firewood from town. Make a weekend event and cut firewood with the whole family. Teach a good work ethic while getting great exercise. Sell your excess firewood to those who do not have their own wood lot. Donate wood to those in need. You’ll always have wood for the camp fire!
Cabin in the Woods: A cabin provides a little comfort and security while enjoying the great outdoors. You’ll have a warm and dry place to rest your head during a rain storm. Store your supplies and valuables inside. Keep the essentials stocked in the cabin instead of hauling them up every visit. Light a few candles and set up a board game for the whole family to enjoy. Add a generator for an added touch of comfort.
Proximity to Public Lands: Private parcels of land often border large parcels of public land. State, Forest Service, Fish and Game and the Bureau of Land Management have thousands of acres for the public to enjoy. Owning land next to these public lands provides easy access to thousands of additional acres.
Family Values and Memories: Life comes at us fast every day. The influences of society are not always what we would choose for our family. Create your own environment for family recreation. Instill work ethic by cutting firewood or building a trail. Share stories over a campfire. Get exercise while on a hike through the woods. Teach hunting skills and wildlife appreciation from your own land. These are the memories you can pass on to the next generation.
Timber Value Grows: While you enjoy your recreation land, the trees continue to grow up around you. Create a forest management plan that fits your goals. A timber thinning schedule provides a source of income and a return on your investment. Thinning also promotes forest health and reduces the risk of fire. Managed correctly, your forest is a renewable resource for generations to come. Visit Silver City Timber for complete forest management services.
LAND VALUES APPRECIATE…with benefits: Stock certificates, mutual funds and 401k’s are what we often think of when talking about investments. Land is an asset that grows in value while providing added benefits. Try camping on a stock certificate. Try roasting marsh mellows on your mutual fund.
