Lets just rough run this scenario out and say the goal is to be debt free by EoY 2020.

*Since you said you have enough money to pay of existing debt I'm excluding it for now.

Harvest said timber on existing owned land ---- $100K
Regeneration cost ($10K)
Leaving you $90K

Purchase Price of new property $200K
Down Payment of 20% - $40K
Leaving you $50K in Cash and ($160K) in Debt

Finance for 20 years makes payments $959/month. (6% interest)
Place the $50K Cash in an account and set up auto pay of $959 monthly.
Begin depositing $500/ month in said account.

Future Timber value of new land @ age 13 (5 years) is $84K.
Use Timber income to pay $84K on loan in Feb of 2020

Remainder of loan will be paid off on December of 2020.


So if you can make $500/month payments for the next 5 years then, really it is a no brainer if you are wanting to grow your land portfolio.

Is there deeded access to the additional property, if you ever had to sell all or part of it for some reason? Have your county forester go out an plug a few trees on the 200 ac to see what kind of growth rate per year you have thus far. I have thinned 11 year old loblolly that was growing like a weed, and left a good stand when we finished. First thinning, if it is a good site, should pay $600 or so per acre stumpage.

$420/acre timber value for a 13 year old plantation? Not in my area. That's a high site index for sure.

That is nothing special... 1.5 loads/acre at $10/ton.

Wait I thought pine pulp was getting only a few dollars per ton? I don't have much experience in forestry though.

100,000 timber value on your 600 is WAY low. What's on it? Just curious. I enjoy these what-if scenarios.

I'm not an accountant either but I know you left off paying taxes on that timber harvest. I tried to do a "like kind exchange" or what ever its called on timber for land and was told I couldn't.

Do it. If you own your own home and everything else other than that car, you are way ahead of everyone else. Buying this land would basically be buying another house that has more potential for you down the road.

When you buy land you get a basis (cost of land + improvements). Whatever the timber is worth has a separate basis from the raw land. Do not cut any timber after buying until you get an appraisal/cruise in writing to establish your basis.

If ur managing ur money well enough to retire note on 600 acres, I'd do it. In 10-12 years or less u could own 800 acres free and clear and that's pretty darn good!

I agree....if you have 600 free and clear you can find a way to come up with 200,000 and pay it off if the 200 acres is something you want.

Don't mean to sound like a know nothing but why determine a basis on purchased property?

To know the timber value at purchase vs. sale. This is the way I understand it:

Timber value at purchase - $50,000
Timber value at cutting - $75,000
You pay taxes on $25,000
