By Young Lindsay


It is tricky to buy a forest and there are chances that because of mistakes it would end up a nightmare for the buyers if there is not enough research. Plan this out and it will make the entire process convenient. Initially, you need to have legal and also technical professionals to assist you as much as possible and if the budget allows it.

There are forests in various countries that are for sale, and the advantage of this would be that it does not hold Inheritance Tax of IHT when you already owned this for two years. This is because it would be qualified as a business property relief. There are forestry for sale in South Carolina and many other places that you can choose from depending on your own location and interests.

The main reason for these land owners to buy these forests is to harvest wood or technically timber. When they own a piece of these lands, it is important for them to take responsibility of the community that is living in these areas. The resources, biodiversity, and the cultural heritage is also included the aspects that they need to protect.

The process is simple but needs careful investigation and research. Know the value of the land first and up to how much are you willing to pay for it just to acquire that piece of forest.

Measure the timber value of the trees inside the forest. You need to know the species it is growing, how old they are, and whether they are young or old and ready for harvest. It depends if you want to buy a forest that is already good to go for harvesting since most people would want to reap profits for this already, but there are some who want to buy it young for pension reasons.

For example, a Sitka spruce would take about thirty five to forty years for it to grow maturely. So you can calculate the amount of time you need to invest in the property. Although there are other commercial uses like camping grounds, inns, and shooting ranges, but you need to make sure that your initial plan is for harvesting timber for it to be qualified for free income tax.

There are many reasons for profit on this as well. The government is actually encouraging more people to produce renewable energy through wood production that would result to biofuels. This type of income would only get better.

The prices for an acre would also depend on the location. Some forests who are getting farther and farther from the metropolitan area would cost lesser and lesser and also it depends on the initial value of the contents of the land. So you can add this to your research as well on where to buy it.

When you are able to get pieces of these forests, you would not only gain profit from it but also help the community and preserve the environment and with its natural resources, too. The responsibility is also huge and you need to give utmost care for these lands. So planning and developing them would require detail, patience, and making careful decisions.
