My first thought as the farmer is that I’m thinking the private developer might be able to offer me the most money. Since the original offer was so much lower, I feel like there is bargaining room there. Additionally, with multiple parties being interested, I feel like that would only help to raise the price to the desired $4.5 million.
If I am feeling sad about having to leave the farm and I do aim towards conservationist beliefs, I would ultimately decide to work with the state’s Park and Recreation to hopefully get, at minimum, the appraised value of the property along with being able to see some parts of it remain mainly natural.
(I will admit to my bias as I am sad about how the Germantown Country Club was purchased by a private developer and all of that land will be used for new homes, instead of being a park ((which feels VERY similar to this fact pattern?????))
