Purchasing Rural Recreational Property

As we always say at BuyWisconsinLand.com, we use the latest technology to get you the information you need to make an informed choice when purchasing your dream property.

Today we bring you an another eHow article, this one by Kim Dieter, with 9 steps to follow when purchasing rural recreational property. As Ms. Dieter points out, if you do your research in advance, you should be able to make a successful offer on a truly great property.

Rural recreational property is acreage located outside towns and cities. Uses for recreational land include timber harvest, growing crops, camping, hiking, boating, fishing, hunting, photography, wildlife viewing and raising livestock. Investors attempt to purchase rural recreational property to make a profit. Land improvements and land-use enterprises often provide the means for a profit. For a successful investment, the type of property must match the intended use. Information about rural recreational land is available from many sources.

Wisconsin Farmland Property Value Rises

Rural Wisconsin is seeing an increase in property values.  Story by the Wisconsin Ag Connection

Local bankers from around the Midwest have confirmed what we already knew: 2011 was a huge year for increased farmland property values. According to the latest survey of agricultural lenders in the Seventh Federal Reserve District, farmland values between October through December 2011 were up another four percent from the three months previous. For the year as a whole, values were 22-percent higher in the district--the biggest annual increase since 1976.

In the most recent questionnaire of 205 rural bankers, survey respondents said agricultural credit conditions were stronger in the fourth quarter of 2011 than in the preceding fourth quarter, although non-real-estate loan demand was weaker.

Where Should I Purchase Land?

Once you decide you'd like to buy land as both and investment and for recreation - where do you buy it?

There are two answers to that question. The easy one first - BuyWisconsinLand.com We use the latest technology to get you all the information you need to make an informed purchase.

But the second one isn't as easy - Wisconsin is a big state. What county should you look into? How will you know if this property is right for you?

First ask yourself this question: What will I use the property for? ATV/snowmobile riding? Hunting, fishing and camping? A vacation cabin or retirement home? This will help you and us narrow down your selection to properties that fit your needs.

Second, how much money am I willing to spend? This will also narrow down your selection of available properties.

Then, what ammenities do I want to have? Close to big city or small village? Near shopping or hospitals? Cable TV and internet service?

And how far do I want to drive from my home? If this is a vacation or recreation site, travel time may impact how often you use the property.

You're next stop will be travel and tourism sites. You can find a list of them here. See which counties and cities offer the activities you enjoy.

Lastly, take a weekend or two (or more) to get out and see the areas you are interested in and visit some properties. Check out the local scene and the local scenery. Then you will know where to purchase your property.
