"Land For Sale By Owner- Asheville Just 20 minutes from here "read the sign. . As a land specialist, I am always on the lookout for LAND GEMS, so I skidded to a stop and got out my camera.

This could be one of those special finds!

The sale of land is a unique activity in the practice of real estate.   Hunting for land on which to build that offers you a sense of place in the mountains takes time and effort.

I like the idea of fixing a picnic  full of  locally-grown goodies, and taking off on a mini-adventure which is what I had done when I came to the "Land For Sale By Owner- Asheville Just 20 minutes from here" sign.

 But what does one look for when hunting for "the right" acreage? And would this parcel qualify? 

Here is a quick list of things to take into SERIOUS account:

•·                        Zoning Requirements
•·                        Easements
•·                        Natural Hazards
•·                        Solar Orientation
•·                        Lay of the Land and Soil Quality
•·                        Sight and  Sounds
•·                        Air Quality
•·                        Water Quality and Availability Private/Public and costs
•·                        Elevation
•·                        Utilities - Sewer/Septic/ Well -Private/Public and costs
•·                        Appraisal -time for and costs
•·                        Survey -time for and costs
•·                        Financing

So I really like the idea of consulting with professionals when you are considering those famous "LAND for Sale By Owner" signs!...and even if LAND is for sale with representation! How about you?
