Howdy gang! There's a piece of family property we're looking at selling in El Dorado County. It has a small cabin and what may be a marketable amount of timber on it.
I'm trying to figure out how to justify my sentimentality and buy the property from my Grandma, rather than dumping it on the open market never to be seen again. I swore 20+ years ago that I'd never live in California again, but who knows what the future will bring, it's nice to have options. Cutting to the chase, anyhow have insight on how to offer timber for sale on something like this? Might make the difference between keeping the land without mature timber, or not having the land at all. Thanks in advance - |

1, The mills are so overwhelmed with timber that they aren't buying jack shit. They're still pulling timber out of burn areas and will be for quite some time. The private timber market is pretty much dead in California for a while.
2, unless it's a VERY sizeable property you will barely break even with the cost of hiring a Licensed Timber Operator to make and submit the harvest plan, access road permits, dust control, sometimes a Registered Professional Forester is required. It's a huge undertaking and very expensive. |

Sadly, probably not what you wanted to hear, but I would rather give facts than hopes. I am a California licensed timber operator...one of the businesses I own, and we have better luck selling trees to firewood companies. Most of it, we just grind up into mulch. Far more cost effective.

I appreciate expert advice from experts.
Typically I just make this shit up as I go when I'm doing anything other than geology and steel targets. And most of that I make up as I go. |
