It&rsquo;s primarily about hunting, because these parcels are known for great access adjacent to government property. You could buy a 40-acre Potlatch parcel that could have a couple of hundred acres of federal, state or county land that expands your hunting territory.<\/p>\n<h2>What are buyers looking for in the current land market?<\/h2>\n<p>Our buyers usually want great access, tree cover and unique topography. People like to spread out, have privacy, and if there&rsquo;s government land nearby, a location where you could walk off the property for days and not see another house or person!<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">They don&rsquo;t want to have to drive to where they hunt; they want to step out their cabin door the first day of hunting season into thousands of acres of government land. Our buyers want to create a place where they can live their dream and keep that dream in their family for generations.<\/p>\n<p align=\"JUSTIFY\">And of course, price is always important. Land is extremely affordable right now, which is good news for buyers.<\/p>\n<h2 align=\"JUSTIFY\">Why do you think some buyers have waited for that property and not looked at others?<\/h2>\n<p>About a third of our buyers have been leasing Potlatch land and after hunting on it for years, many are pretty excited about owning a piece when it opens up for sale. There are also adjacent landowners who have lived next to Potlatch property for a long time and jump at the chance to expand their property. Plus, Potlatch lands have held their value, and it seems to get a better price per acre compared to other lands we come across. Since we&rsquo;ve been selling Potlatch properties for so long, we appreciate it and understand its value.<\/p>\n<p>More questions?&nbsp; Contact <a title=\"Bear Island Land Co., Ely MN\" href=\"http:\/\/www.bearislandland.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bear Island Land Co.<\/a> or any one of <a title=\"Find a Potlatch Broker\" href=\"http:\/\/www.potlatchlandsales.com\/contact.php\" target=\"_blank\">our brokers <\/a>directly.<\/p><\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We spent some time with Phil Hyde, an Associate Broker\/Appraiser from Bear Island Land Co. in Minnesota &ndash; asked him a few questions to get to know him and the Minnesota market better.&nbsp; Here&rsquo;s what he had to say.
