What to do with House with 100 Acres, paid off but taxes are $10k

[Mat O'Grady]

Hello Everyone,

My friend's parents own a house free and clear with 100 acres of land. He father built the house, he is getting old and they can no longer afford the taxes of 10k a year. Does anyone know of a way to lower the taxes? They don't want to subdivide or anything that would have other people build around them. Is there a way to turn the land into conservation or something?

Thanks,

Mat
