Mixing Forestry and Real Estate

I had a client approach me about their property. After a conversation with them, it was apparent that they wanted to sell their property but not immediately. They have a 5 – 10 year time frame for selling. They were interested in generating some immediate cash flow from the property. I did a site visit and it was apparent that there was some low hanging fruit….lots of merchantable timber. About 75 acres were planted Loblolly pines about 15 years old and ready for a first thinning. About 110 acres were natural pines and hardwoods probably 40 – 45 years old. The stand was heavily stocked so there was a great opportunity to remove lots of timber and leave a very nice stand of trees.

I put a video together showing the before, operation in progress and the after.

The moral of the story, if you are a timberland owner, there may be a opportunity for you to generate some cash and still sell a very attractive tract of land…. See you can have your cake and eat it too!!
