Purchasing land locked properties

Does anyone have experience in purchasing landlocked properties for recreational purposes? Also does anyone have experience in making an offer on a property that is not listed for sale? I currently utilize 60 acres and there is another 45 acres next to me that the current owner does not use and I’d like to make him a reasonable offer.

Hi @Jesse Anthony Buffa

Make an offer. Worse they say is "No". Sounds like you have access to your 45, if the 60 is connected "Not landlocked to you". You might choose to make an offer through someone else. If they know you can reach it it may change things. Another piece to consider is that they may love that it is "wild" and not built on. Making an offer with them knowing you want it for rec land may make sense and give them the security they need to get rid of it.

Good Luck!
