(NGC) - Selling most of our land.
« on: June 03, 2021, 10:54:50 AM »
Big changes a coming. We will be moving from KS to NM later this year. This summer our farmland and lake will be auctioned. Excited and kind of sad at the same time. Here is a short drone video of the property. The drone thing is great for this sort of thing.

Good luck with the sale and changes, John.  We've been in the same situation recently, selling the Button family farm & property in VT 2 yrs ago that had been in the family for 100+ yrs and now I'm working to sell my uncle's farm in MO.   

Really difficult to explain the mixed emotions to people who haven't had the same experiences.  The MO Farm has less meaning to me because it came from my aunt's father.  but the VT Farm was our home & epicenter of the family life and identity for generations.  Things change.

Surprised you’d want to leave a place like that.  Whereabouts in NM are you going?

Excellent soaring in Moriarity, just east of Albuquerque at 0E0.  That's the only place I soared where I had to go on oxygen.

I got a little sad watching that.  How much does land go for an acre in KS?

More or less the Albuquerque area or up toward Taos if the right place came along. One of several reasons for the move is that my mother lives in Albuquerque.

We are hoping for a minimum of $3,000 and could go over $4,000. The big wildcard influencing price is going to be the lake. Not sure if it is going to be a minus or plus to the price. We also have property in far NW KS and it will more likely be worth around $2,000. But like the housing market everything is a bit crazy so guess we will see.

Had the land auction today except a bit wet. Went well, very satisfied with the price at $3,700 an acre. Went to what appears to be some good people and they will continue share share cropping with the farmer that I have been using which is good news. Wife and I are celabrating a bit with the good stuff.

Congratulations on your sell.
It’s amazing at how much different the value of land it from one part of the country to another.

Congrats John.  I remember our talks where you were schooling me about farming, the worries and the risks and rewards.

Enjoy your new life.  I hope you'll make it to our rallies.  We need to keep the younger guys like you in the fold.   :boozing:

Some of the places we have looked at have guest houses so if we end up with one of those it may have to become a Guzzi rider's hostel. Will give you a discount with your AARP card. :grin:

Now that's a great reason to move!
It's always been a dream of mine to soar, I saw a glider field in Durango ages ago that just looked like heaven.
Good on ya Gliderjohn! Share some photos from the cockpit when you get to the homestead.

Yep, I can't afford a house where I live so I bought 5 raw acres on the river. Tax man says it's worth $120,000
Funny how a "van down buy the river" has become aspirational rather than demotivational in just 20 short years.

Wow, that is cheap. Here in Iowa good ground goes 10K & up. My wife's uncle's estate brought near 11K. Even so-so ground is getting 7K. The guys with money already are buying everything.

A year ago would have probably only got about $2,000 an acre.
