Hello,

We have discussed town leases to non-profits, but are there any special
lease models for historic buildings to private citizens?

Hello,

As usual, the most useable land historically is in agricultural
use..prime 
agricultural soils have very specific USDA criteria among them, that
they 
are well drained. That is why the best farmland becomes prime targets
for 
development. In this case, the fields may be developable altho their
size 
suggests possible project-breaking bufferzone reductions. The woodland
are 
probably only for natural resource value.
