[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1816113, member: 38220"] With a conservation easement you have a new co-owner of your land. Every easement is as unique as the property it is being placed upon. Outline potential future building envelopes, utilities corridors, roads, fields, creek crossings, ponds, etc. Once you have this new co-owner it gets virtually impossible to change anything or construct new infrastructure that was not in the easement agreement. For example I know of a ranch that put the land in an easement. They decided they would really like another hay shed just outside the headquarters building envelope and wanted to trade an equal amount of land on the other side of the headquarters. No go. Couldn't get it worked out with the easement owner - and this was an ag focused easement owner. Easements can be good, but need to be very careful. They are a much better deal when the next door neighbor has one that will preserve the view from your own ranch and you can leave your land unencumbered. [/QUOTE]
