Sometime within the next five years, it is anticipated that a Conservation Easement be placed on all the common area within Little Creek.  The benefits for our Owners are two fold.  First, it further adds protection for preservation in perpetuity and second, provides a significant tax credit to the Owners of record at the time the Conservation Easement is activated.  The timing of the Conservation Easement is crucial to our Owners for the following reasons:

Ø   Strategic properties should be acquired prior to establishing the Conservation Easement.

Ø   Property values in the surrounding areas should meet or exceed our valuation expectations to obtain the maximum tax benefit. 

For more information on Conservation Easement, you can obtain a copy of the IRS tax code.  Again, the primary goal and mission of Little Creek is to permanently protect and preserve hundreds of acres for future generations while maximizing the benefits and returns to our Owners.
