Wetlands Land Is Nearly Impossible to Sell Conventionally — We Buy It
If your land has been identified as wetlands, sits in a FEMA 100-year floodplain, or carries Army Corps of Engineers jurisdictional wetlands under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act, you're holding land that most buyers won't touch. The restrictions are real: you can't fill, drain, or develop wetlands without a 404 permit — and those permits are expensive to obtain, take years, and are frequently denied.
Lenders won't finance the purchase of unbuildable wetlands at standard land loan rates. Retail buyers don't want land they can't build on or improve. That leaves you paying annual property taxes on a parcel with extremely limited use options.
We buy wetlands and floodplain land because it still has value in the right hands:
- Conservation and mitigation banking. Wetlands can be sold to mitigation banks or land trusts who need "credits" to offset development elsewhere. We understand this market.
- Hunting and recreational use. Duck hunting marshes, waterfowl habitat, and riparian bottomland have real recreational value even if they can't be developed.
- Agricultural use. Some wetlands carry a history of agricultural use and may qualify for "prior converted cropland" status that allows continued farming activities.
- Long-term hold. Environmental policy shifts over time. Regulations change. Land that's unbuildable today may have different options in 20 years.
We buy wetlands land as-is, at prices that reflect what it is — not what it could be if the restrictions didn't exist. Call 928-928-4109 for a cash offer within 24 hours.
