Cell towers and purchasing land?

We are currently looking for land, and I was curious what people's opinions are of cell towers?
1) Would you say they an immediate disqualifier?
2) If so, what would you consider the minimum "safe" distance you would need to be away from one?
3) Is there a situation where being closer is better?  (That is, the antenna horns focus out, not down.)
4) Or anyting else you want to add to the convo... :)

Of course any metrics or studies you can share along with that would also be most helpful.

In my mind cell towers make good tenants IF you are okay with everything attached. Look into the physical tower imprint on your proposed property and what it takes for right-away maintenance from the tower company. The devil is in the details of the contract. I do not have one on my property but a good friend has an existing one on his. It is out of the way in a spot that isn't utilized.

All other things being equal, I would rather not have one on my property. But, unless you are looking at many acres, it is probably a moot point.   I don’t have one on my property, but my neighbor has one.  So, in my mind, there is little difference.

Personally, I wouldn't see it as an automatic deal breaker. The revenue can be nice, but if it was in my face and in my way, it would give me pause.

There's a useful and vigorous discussion in this thread:

I'm a purist, from an aesthetical point of view I wouldn't consider a piece of property with a cell tower or any other type of utility infrastructure.
If I'm not mistaken most cell towers would have lighting on them, which would be at the very least annoying at night. Then of course as mentioned there is the right of way issue.
If possible I would suggest buying a piece of property where nothing of that sort can even be seen.
However that's just my opinion some people aren't bothered by that type of intrusion.

And one of those details is cost - including inflation - of removal if the technology advances and the company no longer wants it. Make sure that money is set aside for that in case the company goes bankrupt which is one approach many companies take when they have a large liability and don't want to have to pay for it.

Have a look at old hydro towels that have collapsed in ice-storms to see what sort of a mess you could be left with. These things have life-spans. Friends had a typical TV tower which almost ever house had in the 70's, and it came down in a storm and luckily it didn't wreck anything important. They can be surprisingly heavy, and commercial ones will be heavier yet.

How big is the cell tower?
How much land are you purchasing?
How far would your house be from the cell tower?
What are the pros that would make you want this land vs another similar size/price parcel? Does it have hydro? Already zoned for what you want to do? Income stream? Is it cheaper? Does it already have a road/utility/a shack/shed?

What are some of the liability other than the usual of company can do whatever they want within a 50ft right of way, including spraying, cutting down things, and the extra dose of radiation on a long term basis vs just when you are driving by one on the highway.
