5:27 AM – July 7, 2016

Approximately ten years ago my wife Jenny and I discovered Charleston, SC.  We were home.  While we are clearly not alone in this matter, the first settlers arrived in 1670 on the West Bank of the Cooper River naming Charles Town in honor of then King of England Charles II.  The community founded on a constitution written by Philosopher John Locke around the principles of toleration provided the framework from which the people of Charles Town founded the first municipal library in the Charleston Library in 1773 and first public college in College of Charleston when it held classes in 1770.

Rooted in appreciation for history and education the community was additionally home to a large contingent of French Huguenots, which explains  why Jenny felt so at home, as her family fled Southern France when religion was a touchy subject.  These early Americans were joined by another religious group of immigrants in the Sephardi Jews, later growing into the foundations of the Reform Branch of Judaism and founding of the Reform Branch of Israelites in 1824.  These immigrants in the late 1600’s laid the groundwork for the foundation of our country as Charles Towns’ Henry Middleton served as President of the first Continental Congress in 1774.  We have visited his home farm Middleton Place now several times, as it is today a National Historic Landmark. The farm is now open for daily tours and when you get there you will see why Mr Middleton started his farm there along the river.  (Sorry for all the history and dates this early in the morning)

Clearly these folks built an amazing coastal community resonating with an appreciation for history, architecture and diversity of thought and beliefs which keep us coming back each summer.  Admittedly, we are leaving one beach to go to another one, 9 hours away which does not exactly make sense.  This year however, the beach might not matter much, as I hear a few alligators have been pulled off beaches around Sullivan’s Island where we hang our hats.

Perhaps one day The Land Group will expand into SC, as I have been visiting farms with local brokers and studying the market for a few years now.  The farmland along the expansive coastal salt marshes are just awesome.

So while I am avoiding the alligators, shark fishing (a requirement this year from the 8 year old little fish) and soaking in the SC sunshine, I likely won’t write each day.  However, I am sure I won’t stay away from the iPad and early morning coffee the entire trip, so I will chime in from time to time.  Be well, I am headed South!

NAVIGATING LAND ACQUISITION

BUYING DIRT BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING YOUR GOALS FOR THE LAND.  HERE ARE A FEW BASIC QUESTIONS.

First, what is your intended use of the land? Is hunting a priority, farming, or is it a place to build your dream getaway?

Second, is this an investment requiring annualized return or long-term financial planning?

Third, what is the geography of where you want to find this land? This is perhaps the most important factor…

Fourth, are you considering using a local bank or the regional farm credit system to assist you in the acquisition?

Fifth, do you have a handle on land values? Local list services and land websites do little to assist you in understanding basic dirt value absent of improvements. The Land Group specializes in understanding this marketplace. Join LANDLINK on TheLandGroup.com to learn how we can provide you recent sales data, free of charge, throughout your land search.
