IMO, it depends on what the exposure is based on the location and what exposure exists concerning the land. I almost bouth a small acreage that had a unique rock formation forming an arch next to a river. Nice home site and perfect for a cantilevered deck over the arch, would be very cool. I din't go there because people conoeing would get out along the river and try to climb the arch. Several have been killed and many injured.
I have owned land only where it was far from any activity, in a farm area where no one really walked over it, not even hunters. No real liability issue there.
A blanket liability policy will cover properties owned in your company or as owned if it is written properly. You don't get a homeowner's policy for raw land, just liability.
