jccrider75 | What are the most important things to think about when buying 1-3 acres of land to build a house on? |
Additional Details We are looking to buy the land to build a house upon. A few things we've thought about is to make sure that mobile homes wouldn't be built beside us. The land will be out in the country but we do want access to a paved road. I also want to build a fish pond on the land. We may also raise a few horses or other types of animals. Those are the basics. How hard is it to get utilities out there if there are none present? All of those issues....ones that relate to taking a bare peace of land and making it liveable are the concerns I have.

First, you need to determine if the land is zoned for residential buildings. You should also consider the slope (drainage), access to public utilities including electric sewer and storm drains, water, etc. If there is not access to these, you need to determine the best methods of circumventing your reliability on these, such as solar power, septic systems, etc. How close is the access to the road? Do you need to have a driveway installed? Is it in a flood plain? Are there restrictions on the construction of your home, such as historical or local ordinances preventing certain types of construction?
This is not an exhaustive list, just a few things to consider. Good luck in your purchase. |

Utilities.
Drainage.
Whether or not someone else owns timber, mineral, or water rights.
What is being planned for the nearby lands. |

If you can get planning permission for the size of house you desire. If the ground is suitable for a house, foundations, etc.
Then decide how you will get your utilities.
Though an Estate Agent & Lawyer should be able to help. |

Here is the procedure you should follow:
1. What is your objective? Building a home, investment, commercial, farming and such.
2. Since you are talking un-developed land it will be very important for you to work with a professional who understands the area and the development pattern around the land.
3. Your location is important. 1 to 3 acres in a farming area might not cost you almost anything. Whereas 1 to 3 acres in Urban areas will cost you a fortune. Your strategy will have to be modeled accordingly.
4. Once you set your objective, you might want to check the local codes and zoning. A lot will depend on the local codes and zoning to permit you to use the land.
5. Look for the comparative market analysis before you jump in.
6. You will need to look into Legal title and easements on the property.
If you look at all these aspects, I'd recommend professional help.
Addition: I just read the additional details in your question. Getting utilities should be also a function of proximity in which these utilities will be available from the City. Alternately, it will be a function of how much it costs you to get the utility.
From your objectives, I believe you are looking at a flat to rolling land with a paved road access closeby.

What is land going to be used for (farming, building, etc.)?
Find out what specifications are needed for your use of the land and then look into land that matches those. Perhaps a Realtor? |

1) Location to your needs. (i.e. water, food, clothes, medical services)
2) Location to your wants. (i.e. shopping, movies, entertainment centers, future worth of your land, close/far to industrial or business zones) |
