There's a little one-story "Lincoln Log" house in my area that's up
for sale, and given how every new buyer around here just tears down
whatever house that's standing and puts up a f-ugly mc-mansion (gawd
I hate those things), I was thinking of making a deal with the new
owner to take it apart and cart it away for him.

Never having done this sort of thing before, I'm wondering if anybody
else has, and what suggestions they might have about doing so.

Thanks muchly!

If it's like Northern NJ (i.e. Bergen County), the land is worth more
than the house and the land. You can probably get the log house for
nothing, which will increase the land value, since no deconstruction
costs by the new owner is needed.

He was asking about the proposition of physically taking a log house apart,
not land values.

See the Subject heading.

Responding to a message does not mean that one has to address every item
in the message. My response was about the "deal" with the owner to take
the house away.
