Tutt Land Ledger

One of the greatest resources found in the southeastern United States is pine trees. This is why there's been a thriving timber industry in this region for more than a hundred years. It's an industry that not only provides jobs and stimulates the economy: It also provides a key resource in building homes and furniture.

Do you have a favorite song? We do. There's a country song by Jordan Davis called "Buy Dirt" that we love. The words say, "if you want my two cents, of making a dollar count, buy dirt." It continues with "you can thank the good Lord for it, 'cause he ain't making any more of it." We agree. That song speaks to us because land is a finite resource.

The land from East Texas to Southern Virginia was once an uninterrupted expanse of pine forest, home to diverse ecosystems made up of plants, animals, and endangered or threatened species. It is estimated there were over 90 million acres of native Longleaf pine forest in the Southeast when the country was settled.

Timber owners generally have a good understanding that their timber is worth something, but don’t fully understand what that something is. But that’s important––here’s why.

People invest in land for many reasons, but many fail to realize the power of land investment as a financial strategy. Most likely, they believe that investing in rural properties is only for the super-wealthy or people who simply want to live a more rural lifestyle.

Buying and selling real estate in a rural area is a little different than in the suburbs or the city. Understanding the intricacies of hunting property and timberland is a lot different than selling homes in residential real estate. That's why we've built a special team here at Tutt Land Company.

Whether your goal is to make memories or make money, it's essential to ask the right questions before buying land. If you're unfamiliar with the process, however, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. 

Remember being out in the country as a kid? Toes in the red dirt, miles of rural land to explore, cookouts, and homemade ice cream with family and friends. Maybe your dad took you out on your first father/son hunting trip where you bagged your first deer and have been hunting ever since. Or perhaps, you were lucky enough to inherit the family hunting land, and it's important to you that it sells to someone who will appreciate the land as much as your family did. 

Summer in the deep south can mean many things to many people. Some folks enjoy taking vacations, traveling, or merely enjoying the summertime scenery. In the dog days of Alabama summer, the last thing people want to think about is working outside in the heat.

Do you own rural property? Is there a tract of land passed down to you by a family member? Did you inherit farmland or hunting property? If you fall into these scenarios, you may have thought about selling your land at one time or another. 

In today's busy, high-stress world, owning rural, recreational land in the Southeast is a dream which many aspire. It's the ultimate way to get away from it all.
