Inheriting land can be a surprise — sometimes a blessing, other times a burden. You may not even have known you owned it until a letter showed up in the mail. So what now?

If you’ve recently inherited vacant land and you’re unsure what to do next, you’re not alone. At RidgeHavenLand, we work with landowners just like you every day. Here’s a breakdown of your options — especially if you’re not interested in keeping the land.

1. Understand What You Own

Before making any decisions, it’s important to understand:

• Location: Where is the land, exactly?
• Size and Access: Is it buildable? Is there road access?
• Taxes & Liens: Are there unpaid property taxes or legal obligations?
• Zoning: Can it be used for residential, agricultural, or recreational purposes?

This information can usually be found through the county assessor or recorder’s office. Or, a land-buying company like RidgeHavenLand can research it for you.

2. Decide If You Want to Keep or Sell

Once you know what you have, ask yourself:

• Do I plan to build or use it?
• Is it costing me money in taxes or upkeep?
• Am I emotionally connected to it, or is it more of a burden?

If you don’t plan to use the land and want to avoid ongoing property taxes, selling might be the best option.

3. Selling: The Easiest Exit Strategy

Selling inherited land can feel overwhelming, especially if you’re out of state or unfamiliar with real estate. But it doesn’t have to be.

You have two main options:

• List it through a realtor (longer process, often not ideal for rural/vacant land)
• Sell directly to a land-buying company like RidgeHavenLand (faster, no fees)

We specialize in buying inherited, unused, or unwanted land directly from owners — no commissions, no hidden costs, and we handle all the paperwork.

4. No Pressure — Just Options

Even if you’re unsure about selling, getting a free, no-obligation offer gives you clarity. We’ll research your property and let you know what it’s worth in cash. You can take your time to decide.

And if you choose to sell, we’ll handle:

• The title and deed transfer
• Closing costs (we cover them!)
• Fast payment, often within 15 days
