PLEASE NOTE:
We have been receiving numerous phone calls form owners questioning a solicitation letter that owners have been receiving in recent weeks. The mailing has come from The Terrain Project, an investing company seeking to purchase lots from owners in Wilderness ranches and while most likely a real company, the offers of compensation they are making to individuals are no where close to current market value of the lots. If anyone has received these letters, and wants to know what their property is really worth, please contact a local Realtor to get a real time, current value of your property.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call Board member Vicki Burns who has been fielding these calls.
Thank you
