Real seller story • Partial-acreage solution
Charlton had a home on 64 acres that had been in his family for more than 40 years. He was several thousand dollars behind on property taxes and facing the possibility of losing the place. He needed a solution, but he did not want to give up the home.
He did not need to sell all 64 acres to solve the problem
Selling the entire property would have meant preparing the house, considering upgrades and inspections, hiring a Realtor and waiting through market uncertainty. Even after accepting an offer, a buyer’s financing or other contingencies could still delay or end the sale.
Charlton contacted our team and asked whether we would purchase the property as-is. After reviewing the land and listening to what he wanted to protect, a better option became clear: purchase an unused 8.5-acre portion with road frontage while Charlton kept his home and the rest of the acreage.
We started with what Charlton wanted to keep
The home and its family history mattered. Joe and the team evaluated the land around that priority instead of treating the entire 64-acre property as the only option.
An unused tract offered another path
The property included 8.5 unused acres with road frontage. That portion could be separated and sold while Charlton retained the house and remaining land.
The survey defined exactly what was being sold
The completed survey documented the 8.5-acre tract so the title and closing professionals could transfer only that portion—not Charlton’s home.
The partial-acreage sale closed within 60 days
The completed cash transaction gave Charlton a way to address the overdue property taxes without listing the house or leaving the longtime family property.
The result for Charlton
Sometimes the right land sale is only part of the property
Charlton’s outcome shows why the first conversation should begin with what the owner wants to accomplish. A partial-acreage sale may create needed cash while allowing the owner to keep the home or land that still matters.
