Submit a Property
Use this page to understand our acquisition criteria, process, and compensation.
When you’re ready, submit the property through our intake form.
Pro tip: The fastest “yes/no” comes from including Parcel ID, a boundary map, and the seller’s pricing expectations.
Minimal Development. Maximum Experience.
We focus on land with real outdoor value — the kind that feels bigger than itself.
What We’re Looking For
Clear buy box. Easy to screen. If you’re close, submit anyway and we’ll confirm fit fast.
âś… Core Criteria
- Location: Florida or Georgia
- Size: 10+ acres
- Adjacency: borders (or is meaningfully tied to) National Forest, State Forest, WMA, preserve/public land, or navigable river frontage
- Access value (plus): near a public trailhead or boat ramp (typically within ~0.5 mile)
- Setting: outside incorporated city limits; agricultural/rural zoning preferred
đźš« Not a Fit
- Subdivision lots
- Small ranchettes surrounded by housing
- High-density development land
- Commercial corridors
- Retail-priced listings without strategic adjacency value
How Our Process Works
Simple flow. We move quickly when submissions are complete.
1) Submit the property
Use the intake form (include seller consent).
2) Level 1 review
We review acreage, adjacency, access, and feasibility.
3) Confirm seller interest
We confirm the owner’s willingness and request any missing documentation.
4) Move to contract
If it’s a match, we progress toward contract and closing.
Our Stewardship Approach
Minimal Development. Maximum Experience.
We design extremely low-density projects that preserve natural buffers, protect dark skies, and minimize impervious surface. We are long-term land holders—not a campground operator.
Why this matters
It helps approvals, protects the land, and creates a private, quiet guest experience.
Pricing Expectations
Northstar acquires properties at pricing levels that support responsible, low-density development and long-term stewardship.
Seller pricing expectations must be included in every submission. Submissions without a clearly stated asking price or expected range will not be reviewed.
Even if a property meets acreage, adjacency, and scoring criteria, qualification for the $200 Seller-Verified Lead payment is subject to internal underwriting review, including pricing alignment.
Northstar reserves the right to decline or disqualify submissions where pricing does not reasonably align with our acquisition model. We prioritize realistic, flexible sellers.
Compensation for Qualified Submissions
We compensate serious, seller-verified property submissions under the following structure:
Seller-Verified Qualified Lead
- 10+ acres
- Meets Northstar adjacency criteria (public land or qualifying access)
- Passes internal scoring thresholds
- Seller confirms in writing they are open to discussing a sale
- Seller provides written consent for Northstar Land Stewardship to contact them directly
Under Contract
Paid when a binding purchase agreement is executed.
Closing
Paid upon successful closing of the transaction.
+$2,000 — Direct-to-Owner Bonus

Total Potential Per Deal
Standard Deal: $3,700
Direct-to-Owner Deal: $5,700
