The asking price for this 7.34 acre plot was 107,000. It is very close to my parents (under 30 minutes) and we liked certain aspects of the property see below:
Pros:
--Good size plot which was layed out well with a cleared area that led down to a wooded ravine (which was supposed to have a creek at the bottom).
--A small one bedroom cabin already exists on the plot (the old residence of a single man who had lived there for 30 years, considered a "mad scientist" by his neighbors).
--There is also a smallish garage/storage shed also very solid and well built.
--The previous owner had built an underground "bomb shelter" which was really more of a potential root cellar. Also very solid and well built.
Cons:
--The deal breaker here is that the "creek" which is situated at the bottom of the ravine is actually a barely discernible trickle if not completely dry. The agent said it was a full blown creek last time he showed the property. Right.
--I felt a bit too close to neighbors since the property was on corner lot and easily viewed by folks across the street in the winter.
--Some of the land immediately adjacent had already been parceled out and would require a separate purchase.
--The agent made it sound like there was another offer pending and was indirectly trying to get us to make a decision within 72 hours. No thanks!
