What we buy
If you want to sell forest land, farmland, harvesting rights, timber or wood chips, we review the details, make an offer and agree the next steps.
- Buying forest land We buy forest properties in Tartu, Jõgeva and Viru counties. For properties up to 10 ha, we make an offer within 5 working days.
- Buying farmland We buy arable land and grassland. We assess the location, condition, possible uses and access.
- Buying harvesting rights We buy harvesting rights to standing timber. Harvesting is carried out by our group companies, and the price, scope of work and schedule are agreed before work begins.
- Buying timber We buy timber by assortment. Volumes, quality requirements and delivery terms are agreed before transport. Our larger partners include Stora Enso Eesti, Estonian Plywood, Holmen Mets AS and Estonian Cell.
- Buying wood chips We buy wood chips and material suitable for chipping. Transport is arranged according to volume and location.
A new growth cycle begins after harvesting
A tree planted today will not reach maturity for decades. That is why forest regeneration and young stand management are a natural part of responsible forestry. From soil preparation and planting to tending and harvesting, the work is carried out by our own group companies.

What to know before selling
Selling forest land or farmland is not an everyday decision. Here you will find practical answers to common questions about value, timing and the sale process.
- How is forest property value assessed? The value of a forest property depends on more than its size. We explain what affects the price, which data is used in the assessment and what the owner can check before selling.
- When is the right time to sell a forest property? The right time to sell depends on the forest, market conditions and the owner’s plans. We explain when a sale may make sense and when there is no need to rush.
- What should I do with inherited forest land? Inherited forest land comes with both value and responsibilities. We explain what to check first before deciding whether to keep, manage or sell the property.
