Solar Leases: Unlocking Non-Timber Income from Timberland Investments

Written by Harrison Street Private Wealth | Aug 28, 2025 4:30:00 PM

Timberland isn’t just about trees anymore. As solar development costs continue to fall, timberland owners occasionally have the option to lease acreage to energy developers—often at attractive rates and over long terms.

For investors, this means:

  • A non-correlated potential income stream
  • Potential for multi-decade lease agreements and consistent rental income
  • Potential for enhanced overall return profiles for well-located timber assets
