With your personal land portfolio, you control

• the type and location of each parcel of land purchased;
• the management of this investment;
• when to sell a portion or all of the land within your portfolio; and
• whether to sell the land yourself or to hire a broker to sell it for you.

Best of all, there are no management fees, partners or others with whom you must negociate as to how to handle your investment.

Owning land can be very tax friendly.

• Land taxes (very minimal up here) should be tax deductible.
• Capital Gains treatment generally apply on the proceeds from the sale of the land.
• Depending on your investments, you may be able to deduct other costs.

As each individual's circumstances are different, check with your accountant to verify the benefit for your particular situation.

Like any portfolio, we recommend that you diversify your holdings. Try different type of land (say primary homesites, seasonal homesites and vacation homesites) and mix the price range. For example, you might consider a mid level price at Woodbury Ridge (residential land more oriented to blue collar workers), a stream lot a Eagles Nest (seasonal land) and a nice view lot at Settler's Knoll (4-season homesites good for vacation, primary and retirement living).

Creating this portfolio may be relatively easy when dealing with us because:

• We own of the widest selection of privately owned homesites in Western Maine.
• Our land that is a "cut above" the other land that is offered in the respective locations.

    ·  An hour from Portland
    ·  45 minutes from Conway, NH and
    ·  a half hour from Sunday River Skiway (second largest ski area in the Northeast).
• This area is noted for its lakes, mountains and scenic communities.
• Our prices range from $17,000 to $150,000
