Wooded wood lots in Maine...sometimes that can sound like a contradiction in terms.
Many parcels can look
like a bomb hit. Napalmed, devastated. Oh sure, the trees will grow back..but not in your life time.
It takes 53 year cycle to start from stratch or you could plant black spruce, something that grows quicker to speed up the process to make the land wooded again. Where did the trees go? The ones that were not cut may have gotten bruised, side swiped in the effort to harvest this Maine wood lot.
Owner financing on these pieces? Sure, the owner does not have to worry about you hurting anything.
You don't make the payments, yank it back and hope you may have sprung for a drilled well, thrown up a cabin or maybe even put in a septic. You lose it in the foreclosure.
Easy to slide in to but what did you buy if it looks like a bomb...several of them devastated the landscape. Toothpicks for that woodpecker we talked about in the caption to this
Activerain post headline.
The one saving grace on many of these remote, no right of way or low lying cedar swamps is they had wood...or used to. Take that away and well, it's like a diamond. Do you want one with lots of flaws, cloudy, from the island of misfit elves or quality, with fire, features that is an investment. Wooded wood lots, in Maine. Get a forester to cruise the land, tell you how much timber is really on it, and what is needed to manage the parcel. What a Maine forestry plan so the land can be put in to tree growth to lower the taxes is all about. Remember, unlike Georgia, the south, Maine timber trees grow hardy, but not year round thanks to a situation called winter.
