Recreational Land Loans

What is a Recreational Land Loan?

Enjoying mother nature on your own piece of property is good for the soul. Hunting, fishing, birdwatching or just having a peaceful place to reflect are some of rural America’s favorite past times. Legacy Ag Credit supports all of those who want to enjoy a beautiful location and we can provide you with recreational land loans to acquire the property.

If you’re wondering what recreational property is, here’s a simple explanation: It is a segment of land that is used primarily for recreational purposes in contrast to working land, which is mostly used for production. We’ve provided loans for these types of recreational property, just to name a few:

  • Quiet and peaceful fishing holes, ponds, and stream spillways.
  • Secluded and private hunting locations.
  • Rural lands to ride and train horses.
  • Country corners for relaxation and wildlife observation.

No matter what you choose to do with your recreational land, we can help you make that dream become a reality. Apply for a loan, today!

Hunting Land Loans

Finding that perfect location for a secluded hunting property to share with friends and family is essential for so many of our clients. If you are seeking a hunting land loan, talk with Legacy Ag Credit today. We can customize any loan to buy hunting land to fit your exact needs and specifications. This includes:

  • Hunting land loans for private stalking, trapping, and field hunting locations.
  • A loan for hunting land where you have access to hunt mule deer, trophy bucks, wild turkey, pheasant, and numerous other major game animals in Texas.
  • Hunting property loans that are affordable with competitive financing rates and flexible terms so every family can enjoy the natural, tranquil beauty that hunting land has to offer.
  • Guidance from experienced loan officers who hunt rural landscapes and know what it takes to receive a high-quality custom loan.

Receive a custom loan tailored to your specific hunting land needs from the Legacy Ag Credit team.

Recreational Land Loan and Rural Real Estate

Many of our clients come to us with a vision for their recreational property. We help them make that vision a reality with both recreational land loans and rural improvement loans, paired with easy financing solutions. Want to use your rural landscape to create a private barndominium? No problem. Our experienced lenders can work with you to discuss a loan package that suits your real estate and construction needs.

Recreational land financing and rural real estate loans go hand in hand, meaning you don’t have to worry about whether you can do both. Legacy Ag Credit is a Farm Credit association and we offer competitive interest rates because of our history. Here’s how it works. The Farm Credit System has helped fund recreational land development, agriculture production, and the rest of rural America since 1916. Through ownership by our borrowers and reinvestment in our Cooperative, the competitive, long-term, fixed-rate interest options you receive are virtually unmatched.

Talk to us about your vision. It’s time to create your personal getaway.

Does a Recreational Loan Require Appraisal?

Legacy Ag Credit wants to give you the best deal possible when assisting you with your loan. Under federal law, a land appraisal must be completed and the process is a benefit to both the borrower and the lender in order to provide a fair valuation. Our staff is open to working with you and will be happy to provide guidance through appraisal procedures. We are specialists in country property and can assist you with an appraiser that knows your property and can evaluate it fairly.
