went to look at a 48 acre property with a 2.5 acre pond located just about in the middle of it.
Looks like a beautiful place.
6. Anything else to look for/be aware of?
I assume it has access to a water utility?
If not, are wells successful in the area?
About how far will the electric need to come from where it is?
Also see if a neighbor has a pole that's closer and maybe you
could get a line easement and save money. That's what we did.
How much if any of the total acreage is in a "flood plain"?
Is any of the property fenced?
Last Spring we bought a little over 70 acres that had a lot of over-growth and have had some locals cleaning some of it up. Depending on what you want, you should be able to find some local guys at a decent price that are "hungry" and anxious to get some work. We always give them give a summary of what we want done and ask for a turn-key bid so they don't drag the hours on and on.
Have you asked about property taxes? Ag exemptions, ect....?
You may inquire about internet access out in that area.
But I suppose now there is always the I-Pad.
