Buying an acreage is a little different than buying a house. Before you start looking it’s really important to understand what you actually are looking for. Are you looking for some extra space to spread out? Or do you also need space for chickens, horses, or other animals? Maybe you need an open space with great lighting for a garden. Knowing what you need your land to do can help you evaluate if a property will be perfect for your dream.
While 100 beautiful acres with a nice river, great views and easy access sounds great, the reality of managing that much land would be too much for most people. Maybe a house on 1-5 acres is an ideal compromise to do what you want without too much extra mowing, snowplowing, and maintenance.
When it comes to land we all know the saying: “location, location, location”. How far are you willing to drive to work? The larger your search radius, the more likely you will find a home and land you love.
Once you find your acreage, working with an experienced land Realtor can help you understand the differences you will face than a home inside city limits. Amenities such as water, sewer/septic , trash, and internet may be different than you are used to.
