11 <br /> <br /> <br />This matched pair again supports the conclusion that adjacency to a solar farm has no impact on adjoining <br />residential/agricultural land. <br />4. Matched Pair – Mulberry, Selmer, TN <br />This solar farm adjoins two subdivisions with Central Hills having a mix of existing and new construction <br />homes. Lots in this development have been marketed for $15,000 each with discounts offered for multiple <br />lots being used for a single home site. I spoke with the agent with Rhonda Wheeler and Becky <br />Hearnsberger with United County Farm & Home Realty who noted that they have seen no impact on lot or <br />home sales due to the solar farm in this community. <br />I have included a map below as well as data on recent sales activity on lots that adjoin the solar farm or are <br />near the solar farm in this subdivision both before and after the announced plan for this solar farm facility. <br />I note that using the same method I used to breakdown the adjoining uses at the subject property I show <br />that the predominant adjoining uses are residential and agricultural, which is consistent with the location <br />of most solar farms. <br />Matched Pair Summary <br />Adjoins Solar Farm Nearby Solar Farm <br />AverageMedian AverageMedian <br />Sales Price $8,714$8,714 $8,739$8,739 <br />Tract Size 18.8218.82 14.8814.88 <br />Percentage Differences <br />Median Price Per Acre 0% <br /> 132
