High voltage transmission towers on property

[timd354]

It so happens that, in my area, there are several tracts of homes varying from the low end of around $375,000 to a high end of $1,000,000 with high voltage power lines either in direct view or on the property with easements. Those with the HV power lines at the rear---200 feet or more from the house show marginal, if any, difference in value due to that fact. This is generally because those lots with the towers are considerably larger so that they are relatively unobstrusive. EMFs that cause brain cancer is a proven myth.

It sounds like you are saying that the value of the "considerably" larger lots with the power line easements is similar to the value of the smaller lots which do not have the easement. Since this apparently is the case, then the power line easement must have a significant negative effect on the value of those "considerably" larger lots which have the easement. That is unless the value of "considerably" larger lots without the power line easement is the same as the value of the smaller lots without the easement. Somehow, I doubt that is the case.
