Forestar Retains LandVest, Inc. as Strategic Advisor for Georgia Timberland Properties for Sale

Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) has retained LandVest, Inc. to explore the sale of its timberland and undeveloped land in Georgia. The lands, totaling approximately 72,000 acres, are located within a 60-mile radius of greater Atlanta.

Forestar’s Georgia lands represent a refined set of timber properties from a legacy portfolio that once numbered over a million acres. “It is rare to find such high quality timberland, at scale, located in such high growth areas,” said Jonathan Burt, LandVest’s Director of Southern Timberlands in Atlanta, Georgia. “There is nothing else out there quite like this. These properties will find a wide cross section of appeal from both the real estate and timberland investment communities.”
