What would you do if you owned a 10+ acre mature forested property?

[400Lb Gorilla]

Tame horses?

[HerpsNAO]

i'd build like a home studio thing where i'd invite friends and jam/gig in. idk if you play any instruments

maybe like a nice outdoor area where you could people to hang out with. have like a bar and what not, honestly there are so many possibilities. kind of jelly srs

Def wanna build some kind of small cabin in the bush there for this exact reason.

What tree species are in there?

[ErnieMccracken]

Its worth about $1m and 10 mins to city of 200k and 30 minutes from largest city in canada. I can never sell though until im 50 as a condition of me getting property.

10 acres is a lot of space. Forested is a bonus to me. Privacy as ****

Current house i own is worth about 500k and i have 290k mortgage on it. I aint ballin

If it's really worth that much, start developing it. You can sell it for $10M when you're 50.

[Rooney15]

I'd sit out there buck ass naked and wank my life away in the great outdoors

My dad lives on 90 acre farm of probably 80% wooded land with a decent fishing pond. Its pretty sweet definitely feel privileged to have that to enjoy whenever. We have deer and turkey and used to hunt but don't anymore. Have some trails to ride dirt bikes/4 wheelers on or just walk with the dogs free from people and traffic noise.

My dad and I cut trees and chop wood every fall (for him to use through winter mainly) which feels badass and test boosting

Depending on how much field you got you have to consider the maintenance or mowing/bush hogging it regularly

[tk217]

Maintain a stable...


















of women.

[pengh]

Run electric out there somehow and build a stage/pavilion and jam (music/bands) with my crew.

[HerpsNAO]

What tree species are in there?

Mature forest. Oaks, maples and birch mostly

No field. Fully wooded. I wanna get the chainsaw and axe going for sure

Dilapidated farm house 50ft from road

[HerpsNAO]

Yeah very thick trunks and tall. how valuable? Should i have a timber mill rep come look?

[HerpsNAO]

Developing it as in deforesting?

[tk217]

Ranges from $400-1000 depending on burls.

[multiplemiggs]

Move on it tomarrow

Its worth about $1m and 10 mins to city of 200k and 30 minutes from largest city in canada. I can never sell though until im 50 as a condition of me getting property.

$100k/acre? Got damn, high arse land values of piss, lol.

Just make sure when setting up shooting range you have plenty of backstop with only 10 acres, and if there are neighbors anywhere within 1-2 miles keep that in mind when clearing shooting lanes for targets and/or hunting.

Thats southern ontario for you.

Yes. I think it slopes up a bit so backstop wont be a problem. Good advice

[NuggzTheNinja]

Na not that. I was thinking chickens and llamas maybe after i clear an area. But i worry that local wolves and coyotes would take them out

We have chickens on 10 acres. That's the thing though...you use the chickens and bait to hunt the coyotes.

...and you need to give them a safe enclosure.

Man that's crazy. I just ran across an ad for 25 developed acres with a massive concrete slab shop, RV pad with electrical/septic hookups, a couple large carports and a stocked fishing pond only about 30-45 minutes from downtown Houston listed for less than $900k...

[mycorona]

You def could if your looking for cash, be careful though my father in law got ripped off a few years back doing that. Do some research and get some professional opinions first. Id keep the land and hunt it.

[mycorona]

Tame horses?

Good idea, there used to be this guy on here who lived on a ranch taming horses, forget his name though.

[YUL]

Harvest some timber , profit

[amikaelmorris]

maintaining land is harder than it seems, especially if you don't have like, a skidsteer and lots of time

honestly i'd probably have some grading done, a little road and make a clearing at a nice spot, pour a concrete slab/get some gravel dumped and park a trailer there. being able to just drive off for a weekend away from the city and have everything set up would be really nice

[KTMbraaap]

Get a husq 372xp or a stihl 462

900k USD is more than my 1 mil cad

[78novacaine]

Right. But it's 2.5× the acreage and fully developed with $100k+ worth of structure/utilities already onsite. Was just an example of what land prices are like down here. I'm guessing something like what I'm talking about would go for ~3 milly in your area.

[gluon]

id buy more land around it, 15 acres is pretty small, you need at-least 100 acres to be able to get lost

edit: nvm just saw how much land is where your at, jesus christ

I follow now. Yeah i think itd be around that. Anywhere in southern ontario or close to GTA is some of worlds highest real estate prices. Especially toronto. Its up there with other international cities price wise.

If i go 2hrs or so north then its multiples cheaper.

[suave2000]

I would make a pond/biopool and an orchard and a botanical garden
