Some Land Search Considerations

Some Location Considerations:

So as we go into this project and begin our land search, there are a couple of parameters that we have for our considerations.

We will be seeking somewhere between 7 and 12 acres of property.

First of all, we have to be able to do what we want with the land.  Ideal would be property in a county with no zoning or permitting, as is the case with parts of PA and other states.  This would assure that the tiny home village wouldn't run into square footage requirements and that the experimental construction methods we're anticipating wouldn't be bogged down in red tape.

Second, since part of the financing for the project will be from events and educational projects, the land should hopefully be within 50 miles of at least a medium sized city, or at the very least in an area with access to major transportation facilities.

Third, while we have no problem being off grid, the availability of water, either surface or by well, is rather a must.

There are a few other things that would really be helpful.  Land with owner financing would be a major plus, especially if the down was nonexistent or very low.  This would help us maximize our initial funds and put them in to development rather than into land costs.  Access to--particularly--broadband would be a plus (power, of course, we can do).  Low land taxes would also help assure the success of the project.

So how about it?  Know/own anything that might be of interest to us?
