Rural Property: What to Know
Buying a residential home versus purchasing rural property can be a very different process. Here are just a few things to know and do before making a final decision.
Familiarize yourself with the property by driving around the bordering roads. Find out if it's easily accessible in all weather conditions. Get to know the different access points, as well as the neighboring properties.
Check for utility hook ups. If the property doesn't already include systems for water, electric and sewage, find out the cost and availability to add those to your land.
What zoning laws apply to this property? If you plan to build or use the land for a specific use, check with the state and county zoning committees to see what is and isn't permitted.
Use a qualified real estate agent to assist in the purchasing process. The team at Gunter & Associates is filled with local experts who are knowledgeable in buying and selling rural properties.
