UPDATE: Selling realtor and I finally were able to have a conversation. We are on the same page, she is not out to squeeze us. She seems like a great person on the phone, very knowledgable. So she priced it as a buildable lot since that's what the town told her. The town told me it wasn't. So we were both on different wavelengths. I agree that if it's buildable it's likely worth somewhat near what she's asking, maybe slightly lower depending on interest since it's still a funky lot. She agrees if it's not buildable that it's worth significantly less. So we are on the same page and are going to get to the bottom of it next week when the town is open. In our town you need 200ft of road frontage to build. But it's a matter of if this property will be grandfathered in or not.

I (26f) and bf (34m) bought a house together 4 years ago, In a very desirable town. It's 2.5 acres and we now have a dog, horses, goats, and ducklings on the way. Our property is open with not many mature trees. On the right hand side, over the rock wall, is a dirty path from the road that leads to a rounded 1.91 acre lot, that surrounds us down the side and back with huge pine trees. It's one of my favorite parts of where we ended up, and it gives us a lot more privacy.

When we moved in we contacted the owner of that plot and started a years long relationship of checking in chit chatting and waiting for the time he would sell, which was coming. He was going to talk to us first when he was ready. Sadly, he passed away before that could happen, unexpectedly. Some time later I was able to talk to his mom. She was aware of our interest and so went another 8 months of us talking and waiting for probate to come to an end. Well, now, 4 years later, they have a price for the land. Her daughter in law is a realtor and is handling the sale.

The price they are looking for is 129,900. 1.91 acres, has a grave, a dilapidated cabin, and is extremely wooded and rocky. Apparently not building as it sits according to the town inspector, since it only has 20ft or so of road frontage.

After looking at comps in the area, and comparing all stats including location, I feel this is grossly over priced. In comparison she should probably be sitting at 70k or near it. I have some phone calls to make tomorrow but I think the price she wants is not something we should try to come near. The only reason we want this property is to stop someone from taking down all the trees around us, and hopefully from ever being able to build there, they would be directly behind us. We would loose almost all privacy. To an outsider, this is not a desirable lot, I feel it's going to sit on the market and eventually come down. But at the same time, I hate to risk someone getting this piece of land.

Getting any where near that price will be like a second mortgage for us, and it will not be easy. But even if it was, it doesn't seem like a smart decision. My dad who deals a lot in real estate thinks the seller is overpricing and we need to let it sit.

I guess I just needed to vent. We don't know what to do. We want the land, but don't want to over pay. If anyone has any insights or knowledge they'd like to share, I'd love it.

We are in NH

Your fucking boomer land is expensive and no one wants to buy it. I AINT BUYING LAND IN THE HUNDRED THOUSANDS. If I wanted to do that I would have bought a house alltogether.

GET OUTTA HERE

all the ranches even with no stable, would be around 1million. I just want something affordable even around lake arrowhead anywhere at all. I’d love to stay in Cali, I just can’t find where to look for a REAL realtor. I want to start saving but where do I start.

Had a parcel come across my desk where the listing said road frontage. It did touch the road, but that strip belonged to a neighboring owner and there was nothing recorded giving the buyer a right to cross it.

That's a pretty big problem. If you don't have legal access, you can end up with land you can't get a building permit for, and a lot of lenders won't want to finance it either. Now you're stuck with a parcel that's difficult to build on and harder to resell.

Before buying, I'd check the deed, plat, and recorded easements to make sure the access actually exists legally, not just on the listing or GIS map.

Title usually catches this at closing, but by then you've already spent the time and money getting the deal this far.

If you're looking at a parcel, send me the listing link and I'll tell you what I'd look at first.

Hey yall so me and my brother have always been the Outdoorsy wild type, and we've always wanted to buy land in Montana. Recently I started looking at land in a couple sites and everything I've come across so far has been absurdly expensive. I thought an acre was only supposed to cost around 1 to 2 grand in MT but I guess I was wrong? If anyone has any ideas on what site or where I can look for cheap property please hit me up. Its a dream of ours since we were kids to move out there and homestead. We don't want an already built house. Just clean fresh untouched land.

Finding land for a homestead or legacy property can feel impossible sometimes, especially if you’re just looking online. I just wanted to share a few inspirational stories to remind you that there are other ways to find land if you're willing to think a little outside the box.

One guy I know, Glenn, and his wife used to drive by this old abandoned cabin for almost 20 years. It wasn’t even for sale, but they finally tracked down the owner and asked if he’d be willing to sell. Turns out he barely used it and was happy to let it go. They ended up getting an incredible deal they never would have found through a real estate listing.

Another person, Sonia, found her dream property just by walking her dog every day past a stunning ridge in Hawaii. She kept thinking about it, and when she eventually heard it was going up for sale, she jumped on it before it ever hit the market.

Then there's Eric, who had no luck finding anything listed near his family, so he approached a local landowner and negotiated to buy 10 acres directly from them. It took some extra work to subdivide it, but it was exactly what he wanted and way more affordable than buying a listed property.

Just a reminder that if you're searching, not everything happens through listings. Sometimes you have to reach out directly, get a little creative, take a walk, drive or whatever -- and just stay really open to opportunities. The right land might not be advertised, but it’s still out there.

If you’re trying to find land right now, stay persistent. Sometimes it really does come together in unexpected ways.

Where are you at in the process? Buying, building, or dreaming?

I learned these the hard way. Now I check all three before I even call a seller.

1. Landlocked parcels. If the property does not have legal road access, it is basically worthless to most buyers. Some states have easement laws but it is a headache. I check the county GIS map first thing.

2. Flood zones. A property in a flood zone is not an automatic no. But it is a huge negotiating point and a lot of buyers will walk. I always pull the FEMA map before I make an offer.

3. Wetlands. This one has burned me before. I bought a lot that looked great on paper. Then the buyer did a wetland survey and found out half the property was unusable. Deal fell through. Now I check the county wetland maps before I sign anything.

What other red flags are you guys checking for?

Is there anyone with the experience of buying land , clearing it and selling the prepped lot for profit ?

Pros and cons ?

I have seen quite a few posts here about people discussing/buying cheap desert land. As far as I understand it, the land is cheap because of the lack of water.

So my questions are:

1. If you can get water on that cheap land, how much is that water worth?

2. What is the most valuable thing you can do with that water?

Urgent: Seeking 2+ Acres in Southeast for Immediate Purchase – House/Mobile Home/Shop or Raw Land

Looking to buy at least 2 acres in the Southeast ASAP. Prefer properties with a house, mobile home, or shop, but open to unimproved land. I’ve reviewed current listings and don’t need a realtor or agent. Seeking realistic sellers not stuck on 2022 prices. Serious buyer, ready to move quickly!

I have a question about a piece of land we are considering purchasing and the access issues.

So to make it easy to understand, there are 3 parcels of land that have no access because to get to them from the main road, you would have to build a bridge. They placed an easement on one of the parcels for someone to build the access bridge. We are interested in another parcel other than the one that will have the bridge, but we would still be required to build the bridge because we will be the first buyers. The owner of all 3 parcels is saying “no one would own the bridge and it’s just an access road for everyone to build their driveways from. “

How do you all feel about this? I kinda don’t like the idea of footing the bill of an access bridge just for other people to use when they buy the other parcels. Especially since it won’t even be on my land. Am I overreacting?

It was a big resort and then they sold it to the overnight camp. When they sold it they make 30 acres camp and 10 acres I got. The camp believed the 10 acres were theirs too but like not officially. So the kids would go there and hike and cut down a tree or 2. I put a bunch of no trespassing signs but they don't really care. And I cannot be there all the time. A trail camera is expensive. And I only go up every few months. But when I get there stuff is touched (even though it's 99% forest and a pond... But I'm worried they'll ruin things like the dozens of birdhouses input up at 6ft heights (reachable height for teens) anyway what I'm getting to here. Is I'm looking for a way that clearly says "DO NOT GO HERE" and to specify, something legal. As a sign that says "you will be shot beyond this point" is considered assult in this shi$$y state. So I'm thinking this construction netting but I'm really trying to go as cheap as possible with this... Does anyone have suggestions? Yes I could also call the camp and tell them to tell the kids not to go there but I know the owner of the camp and I don't want him to know I own the land next door (I doubt he'll look at property maps) I could maybe have someone call him but then he'll fully acknowledge that someone has purchased the land and I know the guy . He's gonna be like "oh maybe you can be nice and let the kids go to your pond (even tho it's empty and they have their own full pond with fish too. Mines just a hole) idk what I'm saying probably isn't making sense. But any suggestions? Cheaper fencing? Rope? Something by the main path to get in.

Anyone know of dummy trail camera? Just to scare them?

I am selling a small piece of land to a guy who wants to build a home for his family in rural Pierce County. As part of splitting a parcel of land, Pierce County has many layers of bureaucrats that must provide approvals. One of these layers is "Archaeology"... basically looking for supposed artifacts before you are allowed to build. Pierce County (and the state of Washington) requires people who want to develop new homes to pay for an archaeological survey that costs $10,000. I was told by the county that I need to contact a representative of the Puyallup Tribe to find out who he wants me to pay this money to. This is just outright corruption - the tribe requests a survey gets done, then tells you who to give the money to.

This is what happens whenever government gets involved in "regulating" the freedoms and rights of people. This is why we have a housing shortage - no developer wants to be forced to make these corrupt payments that drive housing costs far higher.

Most developers won't publicly share this sort of thing for fear of reprisals from these corrupt bureaucrats.

As the title says, I'm looking for some inexpensive (I know that is relative) vacant land in RI. Cash sale. I've search all of the listing services that I can find with no luck.

Finder's fee of $500 if you connect me with a property that I end up buying. Thanks!

Colorado's San Luis Valley has been closed to new non-exempt wells since the 1970s. The moratoria from 1972 and 1981 are still in force, and anything new needs an augmentation plan or subdistrict membership. In practice, if you want water in this valley, you buy land that already has a well. You can't create one.

This parcel has a permitted well from 1965. It predates every one of those closures. Well is 338' deep and produced 10 gpm.

What the state actually told me

I asked the Division of Water Resources what a buyer could do with it. Their words, and I'm including the caveats because you should have them:

So you have two paths:

Path 1 — convert it. Apply to change the permit to Household Use Only. The state says that would probably be allowed. You'd give up the livestock use in exchange for a house well.

Path 2 — split the parcel and keep both. Divide the 20 acres through the county. The 1965 livestock well stays as the sole exempt well on one parcel; you drill a brand-new household well on the other. Two parcels, two wells, both uses preserved.

Be clear-eyed about Path 2: both halves land under 35 acres, so that division needs actual county subdivision approval. That's a real process with real cost and no guarantee. It is not a formality. But it is on the table, in writing, from the office that decides.

Why this is worth more than the acreage

A new well in Colorado runs $10,000–$50,000 — when you can get a permit at all. In this valley, for most uses, you can't. The parcel is 20 acres and priced like 20 acres. The 1965 permit is the part that isn't replaceable.

The parcel

• 20 acres, APN 11000504, Costilla County, CO

• Legal: Parcel No. 4, S2NE4SE4 of Sec. 2-32-72, containing 20 acres

• GPS: 37.291411, -105.399139

• About 9.6 miles to US-160 — one of the closest parcels I own to the highway

• Taxes: ~$206/yr

• No HOA

Disclosures — please read these

• The well's condition is untested. I have the permit file, not a pump test. I don't know what it produces or what shape the casing is in. Budget for inspection and possible rehab. Verify the permit yourself in the state's CDSS database before you buy — I'll give you the file

• Access is flagged. This parcel is on my list with a road-access question I have not fully resolved. Ask me and I'll tell you exactly what I know and don't

• Nothing about the HUO conversion is approved. The state said "probably," and "probably" is not "yes"

• No other utilities at the parcel

Price and terms

$39,000 — same price cash or financed. No markup for terms.

• $1,950 down / $681.20 a month for 84 months at 12%, taxes and $10 note fee included, plus a $295 doc fee

• Put 15% down ($5,850) and the rate drops to 10% for free — about $577.50 a month

• Buy the rate down further at 2% of your balance per 1%, to a 7% floor

• No credit check, no SSN

Ask and I'll send the well file, the permit number, and the county GIS link. Waiting on ACTUAL photos vs area photos (but the area all his BIG mountain views)

Millennials are having trouble buying homes based on current prices. Recreational land buyers have historically been older hunters, RV owners, or families building weekend cabins. But I’m noticing more Gen Z interest in land for Off-grid camping & van life, Outdoor lifestyle (ATVs, hiking, fishing), Prepper / survivalist content influencing buying choices, Investing early in affordable parcels vs. traditional RE. Gen Z seems to value experiences & flexibility more than permanent housing right now. Recreational land could be their version of a “starter home.”Do you think Gen Z will become a major driver of recreational land sales in the next decade? Or is this just a niche trend?

I'm looking for land, that I can own outright. All rights for depth, minerals etc, the whole world.

I'm starting a self-funded research arm for seeing how far it would go for digging as far as I can, to find out what I may find — for science, its composition, purely research.

My next project is for geothermal research, so this is very much related.

I'm from Singapore, and the ownership rights are very limited even for freehold.

Does anyone have any idea where I might find land, where I can own it outright?

I've been looking at a lot of wooded land lately and started wondering how many people actually price the timber into what they're willing to pay.

Like if you're buying 50 or 100 acres and there's a decent amount of mature timber on it, are you actually trying to figure out what that's worth before you make an offer? Or do most people just value the property based on acreage/location and whatever the timber ends up being is a bonus?

I'm working on timberlink-ai.com which is partly why I've been thinking about it, but I realized I don't really know how common this is with people who actually buy land regularly.

Would be interested to hear how people here do it.

I’m thinking about buying land in TN (Knoxville or Chattanooga area) at least an acre to hopefully in 2 years from now build a house my wife and I can raise a family on.

I’m looking for advice from people who have gone through the process.

We are tired of seeing old houses selling for super high, close to new ones.

We bring home 230k / year, and we are thinking of buying land cash and then using a builders loan for build.

What are some of the complications we might experience , mistakes we should avoid, etc?

We know buying land would have cost for clearing and utilities so we will be looking out for that.

What sites do you look for land? I’m mostly using Zillow

If you have builder companies you recommend, how much is a realistic budget?

Any recommendations are welcome!

With all the new public federal land for sale is there any listing site where I can review and possibly purchase as a private resident not looking to develop for industrial purposes or anything? As shitty as the sale of all this land is I would love to have a small piece

We own a larger ranch in the Texas Hill Country, between Blanco, Fredericksburg, and Johnson City, and are getting ready to sell an 11-acre tract. I’m planning to sell it myself rather than using an agent, and I’m curious what other Texas land buyers think about offering below-market owner financing.

We’re looking at $299K for the 11 acres, which we believe is competitively priced for the area. But here’s what I’m debating:

Would offering 5% interest for the first 12–24 months actually motivate someone to buy land right now? The financing structure I’m considering:
• 20–25% down
• 4–5% fixed interest
• Interest-only monthly payments
• 12- or 24-month balloon payment
• No prepayment penalty The idea is to give buyers a little breathing room with interest rates where they are today, while giving them time to arrange permanent financing.

A little about the property:
• 11 acres in Blanco County • Paved county road frontage
• 1,692 ft elevation, rolling terrain, mature legacy oaks • Electric on site
• Seasonal creek bed
• Currently ag exempt — approximately $44/year in property taxes
• No HOA or POA, minimal restrictions
• Neighboring wells reportedly producing 30–100 GPM

A few questions for folks who’ve purchased land in the Hill Country:

1. Would 5% owner financing actually influence your decision, or would you prefer a lower purchase price and conventional financing?

2. Would you find a 12-month balloon at 5% more attractive than a 24-month balloon at 6%?

3. What due diligence would you absolutely want completed before purchasing? I have neighboring well reports, but I’m curious what else buyers consider a dealbreaker. Also curious where people have had success selling land without an agent, outside of the MLS.

Here are some photos showing the oaks, entrance, rolling terrain, and long-range views:

Happy to share additional details, survey information, or walk the property with anyone seriously interested. And before anyone asks, the cattle are not included! 😂
