Dear Greg,

We work extensively with Conservation Easements. These easements are a useful tool for keeping family farms and ranches intact and avoiding subdivisions, which compromise the beauty of our rivers and the value of the surrounding land. Conservation Easements can also provide attractive tax benefits to the investor.

Under section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, a real property owner can sell his property and then reinvest the proceeds in ownership of like-kind property and defer the capital gains taxes. To qualify as a like-kind exchange, property exchanges must be done in accordance with the rules set forth in the tax code and in the treasury regulations. The 1031 exchange can offer significant tax advantages to real estate buyers.

 As defined by the Montana Land Reliance: A Conservation Easement is the "legal glue" that binds a landowner's good intentions to the land. Under the terms of a Conservation Easement, the landowner retains ownership of the land and is free to manage or sell the property and enhance agricultural productivity and wildlife habitat. The purpose of the Conservation Easement is to restrict unsuitable or irrevocable development.

Fay Ranches sales associates are licensed in the states of Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wyoming. However, our agents consistently research and are aware of properties throughout the entire Rocky Mountain Region and beyond, including international locations.
