Conservation Buyer Program

Through our Conservation Buyer Program, the Methow Conservancy seeks to match high-priority conservation properties with buyers who treasure the natural richness of the Methow Valley. The conservation buyer program focuses on two types of private land:	Our featured conservation property Owl Peak

Existing conservation easement properties that are for sale, and
Properties with high quality habitat, significant river frontage, connection to existing protected areas, or productive agricultural soils that are at risk of subdivision and degradation.

View from an existing conservation easement. For those properties on the market that are not protected by a conservation easement, a conservation buyer who donates a conservation easement may qualify for significant estate and income tax benefits. Please note that the Methow Conservancy is not qualified to offer tax advice and landowners must consult with their own accountant or tax attorney.

The Methow Conservancy may have the opportunity to work with landowners to secure grant funding to place a conservation easement on a sensitive property.

Although our staff is available to help a conservation buyer find that special property in the Methow, we are not realtors and our interest is founded in protecting land. Therefore, we accept no fees or commissions for our work and instead seek to work in partnership with members of our local real estate community in matching worthy properties with conservation-minded buyers.

If you would like to learn more about what is currently for sale, or if you would like to sell to a conservation buyer, please contact us at 509-996-2870 or info@methowconservancy.org.
