Why Buyers Like Property that Borders State Land

Over the years, I have had many buyers want to own land that borders state lands in NY.  Why is this such a sought after property type?  Folks buying land in the countryside have various motivations and it always comes down to what it is to fulfill their long term vision for land use.

Bonus Land

 Personally, I have always been drawn to lands surrounding or bordered by state forest because state land is basically bonus land for hunting, hiking and most importantly…no neighbors.

Privacy

Even the country side is developing at a fast pace… Owning land bordering state forests eliminates the fear of someone building next to you. For folks that want seclusion and privacy, there is nothing better.

Buying a small 5-10 acres next to 5,000 acres of state forest is perfect.  Your tax base is low but you have access to an ocean of woodlands.  All you need is a building site for your cabin and the rest is free land.
