I received a call today from my neighbors letting me know they have signed a contract to log their property. They have roughly 240 acres in all of which approximately 120 are timber.
Directly adjacent to me is 80 acres of theirs which sits to South and West of my main piece and to East of my new piece. Here is a rough Ariel.
My property in white and their timber in light green.
Logger offered them $150k in all, which seemed crazy, but they have a ton of walnut and veneer trees. He also told me on the phone they are taking everything over 16”. It will be a massive cut.
Part of me is concerned. Part of me hates what these mature woods will look like. But the biggest part of me wonders how to best take advantage?
Should I have some of mine logged also?
I have best bedding in the neighborhood but afraid that changes quickly with thick nasty cover all around me.
Any advice?
