So I'm eyeing a small 5 acre potential home site. Nice area, close
enough to town yet still away from the traffic and neon signage.
Potential for a big development to pop up seems low. Lots of privacy.
It already has a rough gravel driveway (although still needs improvement), cleared
building site, and electric, septic and well already on property. My only
misgiving is that about half of the land is on moderately sloping terrain.
While I would not want to use it for buildings I'd still prefer semi-flat land
so I can get some use out of it even if it is just walking, shed(s),
woodpiles, etc. The homesite itself is level and has plenty of flat land for
immediate yard, flower beds, parking and such. The land is carrying a
premium right now that I don't think it deserves due to this sloping
aspect.
I'm also wondering, all things being equal, how much is having a
driveway, cleared homesite, and utilities run adding to the price? I have
no idea what those cost to install.
