really have to be careful, any where government has a hand in the restrictions keep growing. Looked at a wooded lot with no road access. Told the owners relator I'd need enough ground from the road back for access and I wasn't interested in an easement, I'd buy the ground, they agreed. "One more thing" I said... "Will the township allow building on the property with only 30' of frontage?" (road width). He was a little confused and agreed to ask... answer was no and the relator had no clue about it till I brought it up. If there is government control dig deep before buying and you'll probably lose to another buyer before you find out what you need to know, do not regret it. I inspect properties, it is amazing what is not disclosed people who know nothing fight over. Daughter bought a nice little farm after we looked at many. One we looked at was a brick ranch, as I looked at it I noticed there was no foundation at all under the brick which was almost at grade. I called the relator outside and asked if anything seemed odd to her...then I pointed out the fake bricks that came in sheets like plywood. She was shocked, contacted the sellers relator, they took the listing down. A week later they put up the same listing, it was sold in days.
Never been more true than today... "buyer beware".
Daughter ended up with a 4 acre farm, 1 of them a pasture, some barns and a nice little house...99,000. That was 4 years ago. You can find what you want, takes time and someone who knows what's what.
