My house sits on a 2 acre lot with over 25 trees that are over 100 years old. The lot alone is worth 50k (coming from an area where a bare 2 acre lot can be bought for 20k).
Farms around here are cutting every fence row out, leveling woods and other wooded areas. Even hauling in dirt to fill in swamps! Its crazy what these guys will do/pay to get more ground.
