That’s a very nice property. From what I remember from my college days, a very well managed lot indeed. Always learn something from you Rick. Now I know there’s an IAT. Thanks for the tour!😁
Sometimes maps are a bit off. The water feature overlay shows the brook crossing at the corner of the property. The survey marker is definitely 40 feet away from the brook. It is also possible that when they widened the road in that area 25 years ago that the channel of the brook shifted.
Good Morning Rick. I enjoy your videos with my morning coffee. Say... I have a Spruce tree that blew over like the one in the video sometime last winter. It's about 40 from this property in your video. How long do I have to cut it into lumber until the mushroom transformation begins?
I really can not put a price on that as I am not a licensed forester and to do so would be a violation of Maine law. A licensed Maine forester could walk the lot with you and give you a pretty good idea of the volume and value of the wood.
You need to remember Maine is a forest products state. Maine has been cut and recut over and over. I probably will never see a plot of land that has not been logged at least in the last 20 years. I do sell from time to time property that was last cut 20 or so years prior. This lot looks as good as some of those that were last cut 20 years ago and were cut really hard at that time.
I live in N Idaho and the forests are being clear cut decimated. Individual land owners can make a small fortune selling their trees before selling the property. It's a double dip. GREED ! Rick is telling you the truth, at least this property doesn't have chunks taken out, it was selectively cut. I would never live long enough to tap those maples, but my dog and I love to get lost in the woods.
@@dasanyonepayattention Well if you wanted to take all the merchantable stems, you could harvest it right now and there is a good amount of merchantable timber standing. I probably wouldn't cut it right now, I would wait for the younger trees to get a bit taller 5-10 years. As a firewood lot for a family, you would never run out as the lot is growing more chord per year than you would be burning.
Nice parcel, I’ll be traveling up north next month to see it, if it’s available. No inflated or Covid pricing, those days are gone, the market is coming down.
