About Us

KJ Landholdings

We are a family-owned business ran by Kevin James and Karl James focused primarily on vacant land.  Since 2014 we have been buying and selling many different types of land including tax-delinquent property, inherited property, in-fill lots and land owners simply no longer want.  We buy property as an investment. In some instances, we may choose to “improve” the property by clearing brush, mowing, repairing or adding fences, adding drives or culverts, providing utilities to the site (septic, water, electricity). After which, we may hold the property for appreciation or choose to sell the property to provide ongoing cash flow to our business.
