Many people pass on land that have no mineral rights. That can come back to haunt you one day if you are the dirt owner and exploration starts into development.&

How close is the land to a sawmill cause it will be tough to get a reputable logger’s attention at 80 acres?

Is the land under any easement program currently?

Are there any wells on the property now?

Get it surveyed before buying - could help avoid future issues.

Close, within 30 miles of major sawmills. Areas have been clear cut nearby.

No. raw with no conservation or other easements.

One on the neighboring property but not this one.

Yeah that would be the plan. I'm not even sure how much it would cost to have 80 acres surveyed but it would be needed for sure

Mineral rights are hard to find in MS as they never revert back to the land owner once decoupled. Weyerhaeuser didn’t even have them on the land I bought from them but I did stipulate clay, sand, gravel and timber when I bought from them as suggested by the title attorney. I have 70 acres of planted pines that are roughly 15 years old and 60 acres of natural bottoms. Paid $1875 an acre 6 years ago and could probably double my money if I sold today as the county is growing at a good clip.
