Anyone here purchased raw land? I’m looking to buy a few acres (up to 10) to build a small cabin and hopefully attract some wildlife that I can hunt.
As an investment is it worth it? Any regrets for those who did it?
Tx.

do LOTS of research on where you are buying

1) What kind of DEEDED access do you have? is the road you came in on what is actually in the deed?
2) who are your neighbours?
3) who are you neighbours neighbours?

10 acres isn't that much when you actually start to walk around


Dont think think of as a financial investment, think of it as a wellness investment. just like eating vegetables is an investment in yourself
 
My approach is basic. You can go the camper/trailer type route to access wilderness. This means you have the freedom to go where you want when you want. Buying land ties you to that area and means you generally have chores to do while you are there. Where I reside mostly crown land so lots of options to hang out if you do not own land. That is not always the case so the choices are more clear cut as to whether you should buy. Buying land brings fixed costs into your life (taxes etc) but you also have something of value to sell that may very well increase down the road. Hope this helps.

Depends on what type of investment you’re looking for, if it’s investment in your hunting lifestyle with regards to land and animal management then you might strike it rich. If you’re looking to sell it down the road for a profit, that is a unknown sometimes with rural areas. Lots of considerations go along with that end of the spectrum that you can’t predict or control sometimes, buying to use and enjoy is the way to go but as always. Location location location.

this absolutely cuts your costs down and if development comes in you can just pack up and move along the issue in my neck of the woods is that there is lot less crown land and lot more people trying to use it.

I am fortunate enough to have a lot of land in the family.
-The plus is i am guaranteed access and we can limit who comes on
-The down side is its a lot of work and money to maintain
 
I pulled the trigger on 123 acres backing onto a private lake back in 2015. No regrets. My 0.02$, save up and buy bigger, 50 acres plus, unless it back onto a #### ton of crown land.
 
I invested in a good piece of Saskatchewan hunting land many years ago, just added to it this year with another quarter section. Undeveloped land values in our area have gone from about $100 / acre to $500 / acre in the last 25 years. I think land is generally a good investment if you buy smart. I look at it as a kind of retirement fund that pays dividends in enjoyment. 10 acres wouldn't be enough for me, but people have different priorities and different levels of available money. My land borders a forest reserve, and my brother's property, so with access to crown land in addition to what we own we have a really nice area to roam.

we have about 180 acres and some times that feels small LOL

I agree with ~50 being about the minimum where you can really do your your own thing.

exceptions (both ways) based on who your neighbors are
 
I got 800 acres of mixed poplar and spruce against a national park and river for a couple miles on one side. Threw a shack in the middle and called it good. Everything that walks, swims or flys will walk, swim or fly by eventually.
