Clark, that's 100x time nicer than what we have! We started with a brush lot , now its a dirt lot but I will say we use it every chance we get, a lot lately. our kids & G-kids kids go all the time. My kids were raised like that though so they love it & there's plenty to do around, lake, mountains etc. You can see our progression from brush lot to recent on my YT and pics posted here. We work on it a bit at a time but it's our bug out spot for sure. :seasix:

I'd say do it :yesnod:

Septic seems to work but I'll look into a perc test. There doesn't seem to be any muddy areas or spots with poor drainage.

Heck I'm jealous of your lot to be honest. Mountain property... It doesn't get much better than that. What is your elevation?

I'm thinking about getting a tractor plus a few implements so I can manage upkeep by myself. Something along the lines of what you have. It's a 70s or 80s Ford, right?

Taxes on this sort of mostly undeveloped land are very very low (in the low to mid hundreds of dollars).

I'm looking at other, larger pieces of land and those that have water features. Ponds/lakes, rivers, creeks, etc. and maybe some livable structures like rudimentary cabins, modular homes, etc.

Bought 34 acres 5 years ago. 10 miles from anything.

Road (1900') 20K
Electric (underground) 4K
160' granite well 5k

I am on satellite internet and 4G as well on internet. No landline.


Couldn't be happier.

Go to Wetland mapper to see if there is wetlands on it.
If there is, it'll be tougher to sell, and you won't be able to build within 100' of them, BUT, no one else will be able to either.
Check with the town to see how much frontage is required for a subdivided lot in case you eventually want to subdivide and sell lots. How much frontage is there ?
That being said, it looks like a nice parcel from the pics that you posted.
You can't go wrong with land because they aren't making any more of it.

I'm looking at another property. There are two adjacent lots, each in a different Florida county. It's a total of 34.6 acres with a 1700' border on a creek (it more closely fits the description of a stream than a creek).



With the presence of the stream I'm also looking into having a several acre freshwater pond constructed. I have the contact info of a guy who does pond construction and pond maintenance in this area. I'd like to have the dirt pushed into a big berm around the pond with a driveway across the top. I'd build a 75-100' fishing pier with several side extensions for fishing, and stock it with fish. I got this idea from another property I looked at last week.



This acreage is large enough to put in some turkey blinds in a few cleared spots.



I'd put in electric, a well for drinking and irrigation, a long (2000' plus) driveway, clear a couple or three acres, have a small 1/4 acre hobby farm, gun range, and a pull through campsite for my 43' Glamper 5th wheel.
