So if you did buy land would you build a house there? :huh:


It's a possibility, but it wouldn't be any time soon if I do buy this land.

Didn't read thread, but have 2 questions:

1. is it hunting land or do u plan to eventually develop it?

2. have you had any land surveys done? perc tests? soild tests? etc


1. It's mostly hunting land, has fishing as well. I don't like either, could maybe open a little business that sells products for those or something. Most of it is on a slope going downhill, decent amount is flat where a building could be made.

2. I have not.


Just some info my cousin said earlier today:
" It's cheap enough that I can own it free and clear in the near future and never have to worry about housing costs.

It's free enough that I can build and shoot whatever I want whenever I want

It's on the largest unpolluted aquifer in the US

It's on some of the best hunting and fishing land in the US

It's in the mountains on a South facing slope, which means solar power will be much more doable / affordable

It's outside the fallout radius of nuclear reactors

It's about as far away from the cities as you can get and still find a job

It has high elevation

It's not near any nuclear targets

Low property taxes & low taxes in general

Low cost of living index

Growing economy

Fertile soil unspoiled by pesticides and GMOs

Don't have to worry about natural disasters"

Doesn't say what kind of trees. It shows this picture if it helps at all.

I'd most likely use this land as a future profitable area. As in resell it, make a business with it or something like that. Otherwise it would be like a house. It would be a nice area for me since I would rather not live in a populated city.

It's 9.2 acres for $19,500, so that's very appealing.



By house do you mean cabin?
Some of your plans sound like they need the lot to be serviced , what sort of access is there to it?

Seems like a perfect spot to build a cabin in the woods for a get away place.

don't listen to daltong on anything related to buying property.
he's been telling us he is going to buy a house for the last 2 years

He can barely decide on what to dress himself in let alone decide where he is going to live for the next decade.

i made a thread how many months ago? and i got a great deal on a 4 bedroom house :) but it has 2 huge trees infront of it that will cost me thousands to take down but they might be the reason is has no AC

I could build a cabin. I also don't want to own a house in Rhode Island. It's a horrific market here.
It's about 20min away from a town of 3,000 population. 90min away from a large city, so plenty of resources in driveable distance.

One of my main questions about the trees is how much can I make from em? I would never use em.

Even if I don't live there, it's a great place for retirement, and a very large area for family members to live if needed too.

$19,500 ($500 down minimum(would be $200/mnth for a 15 year payment plan. But I think I'd go with the $2,500 down $150/mnth plan. $40/yr tax
Not a lot, I'd say roughly $12k on me and currently in college.

"The property is the most level just off of the county road at the northwest side of the acreage. The rest of the property varies from moderatly sloping to steep. Awesome views from many locations on the property."

I'd like to build a house possibly in the future depending on available occupations around. If I do finish my degree, would be preferably that of course.


Self sufficient house? Sounds awesome! :D

wouldn't count on making anything off trees. Would cost you to have it cleared, and you'd get some firewood out of the deal.

If your thinking of building a house as opposed to cabin you've thought of cost / availability of services( power , water , sewer), as well as the zoning (now and future) of the land?

/e I think you where thinking of the nearest town etc in reference to my asking about services.
