Does anyone here hold a liability insurance policy for their land/cabin? From what I've found out so far most insurance companies won't cover vacant land or a small cabin and those that do charge upwards of $1500 per year (in NY). Does anyone here think it is necessary?

My current homeowners policy extends out to my land. There was no charge from the insurance company for this and the liability is one million. The only exclusion is that I cannot rent the cabin out. They refused this type of coverage. If I did want to rent out the cabin there are insurance companies that are in this market. Coverage for the tractor is extra.

I do recommend insurance for landowners. Regardless of whether you have guests, there is public access or unauthorised access you can still get sued. eg. ATVers, skidoo owners, etc. Never put up a chain on your access road as this will just increase your liability, post no trespassing signs.
