The five checks that decide whether you can build
Do these before the option period ends, not after.
- Soil suitability for a septic system
- Distance to the nearest power pole and the cost to extend
- Public water at the road, or a well
- Deeded, drivable access
- Deed restrictions — some tracts limit home type or size
Paying for land plus a house
Land and construction are usually financed together through a local bank or a construction-to-permanent loan. Talk to a lender before you shop, because what you can borrow on raw land is different from a home loan. We can introduce you to local lenders who do rural construction routinely.
Budget for site work
Driveway, culvert, pad, septic and utility runs add up fast on a rural tract. Getting rough numbers before closing keeps the project from stalling after you own the dirt.
