Program Overview
Maryland Hunting Land Loans
The Eastern Shore is one of the premier waterfowl markets in the country. Grain farms with impoundments and blinds command values well above their agricultural productivity, and appraisals need recreational comparables to reflect it.
Most Eastern Shore tracts carry tillable acreage with cash rent, which meaningfully supports debt service and improves available leverage.
Western Maryland shifts to mountain timber with lower per-acre values, larger tracts, and comparables closer to Appalachian recreational ground.

Frequently Asked
Maryland Hunting Land Loans FAQ
Why do Eastern Shore farms appraise above farm value?
Waterfowl hunting demand puts a recreational premium on Eastern Shore grain ground with water. Capturing it requires an appraiser using recreational comparables, not just ag productivity.
Does cash rent help qualify?
Yes. Documented crop leases and cash rent are treated as supporting income and typically improve both leverage and pricing.
Are preserved farms financeable?
Yes. Tracts under agricultural preservation easements are financed at their restricted appraised value.
