[QUOTE="KDM, post: 148558, member: 314"] This is why I would NEVER buy land with an water easement or other govt. easement. THEY, not you, control the land. That's the whole point to the easement and then sell scam. They previous owner gets the cash for entering into the contract and then a new buyer has to live with it. NOT ME BROTHER!!!!! I was in the CRP program and when you enter into a contract with the govt. there are almost always provisions in there for THEM to be able to change the terms of the contract, but NOT YOU. They tried to change my CRP contract on me midstream that would have almost doubled my weed control costs. Luckily I only had 2 years left in the contract and I ignored them. Then I got the "F" out of that BS and won't enter into any more dealings with them. 60K is a lot of money to in essence rent some land that you have to pay taxes on, take the risk for, but still have someone else decide for you what you can do with it. A lifetime is a long time normally and govt.'s change as do attitudes about land usage. Think about the transfer of public lands to states and so on. One swipe of the pen and your hunting paradise that you put thousands of dollars into and untold numbers of hours creating your "Happy Place" is now off limits to you because they decided to "Expand" the terms to include the entire parcel or now restrict hunting because hunting disturbs the non game species or some other such crap. If you want to take that chance, be my guest. However, keep in mind that it has taken me 17 years to get my deer hunting land to where I now have something that is doing what I want it to do. If I'm going to buy land, I will control every aspect of it's use.......PERIOD. I read EVERY WORD of a contract and to date, very few easements increase the value of the land. Most easements I've read benefit the ones wanting the easement and NOT the landowner. That's why I won't touch any land, regardless of price, that has a USFW, wetland, or similar perpetual easement.
