“Increasing yearly revenue while preserving family lands.”

WEBSTER LAND CORPORATION, SQUAM LAKE, NEW HAMPSHIRE

Strategies:

  • Engage a broad range of family members to determine the right balance between increasing income and preserving the status quo.
  • Develop financial models to demonstrate potential returns under specific alternative scenarios.
  • Create a 20 year (and beyond) land management plan that builds the long-term value of the land while increasing yearly operating income now.

Outcomes:

  • Near term value unlocked from the sale of discreet parcels that do not affect the primary landholdings.
  • Yearly income increased from new agricultural leases, events, and seasonal lake access.
  • Lands identified for future conservation easements, which can be implemented as appropriate for additional revenue.
