Hobby Farms Acreage Limits
There are no acreage limits for Hobby Farms. A hobby farm is nothing more than land with a varying number of structures on it. Northview Bank has been financing land purchases of all sizes since our doors opened more than a hundred years ago. Many banks want you to carve out a home on ten acres for financing, but Northview Bank does not have that stipulation. Instead, we assess the value of the land and buildings, along with the credit, debt structure, and income of the borrower. From there, we make a determination on the hobby farm loan that will be best for the purchaser. Sometimes this means a long-term fixed-rate secondary market mortgage. Other times, a shorter term in-house loan product is ideal. In any case, buyers are not bound by land restrictions or impossible stipulations to make a hobby farm possible.
We evaluate:
This allows us to offer financing solutions that truly fit your situation—without unnecessary restrictions.
Depending on your needs, financing may include:
Our goal is to make hobby farm ownership accessible and flexible, not complicated.
Property for Hobby Farms
The hobby farm loan that Northview Bank provides will vary mainly based upon the property you’re purchasing. Larger farms may resemble the loan that an income-producing farm would use. Further documentation and proof of use would need to be produced in this context. Ultimately the loan professionals at Northview Bank will walk you through each step of the process, helping you find the best hobby farm financing product for your needs.
Hobby farm properties can include:
In some cases, larger hobby farms may be structured similarly to income-producing farm loans and require additional documentation.
