Homes for Sale with Acreage in Rogers MN
Why homes with acreage?
Most of the homes for sale with Acreage in Rogers MN used to be in Hassan Township, which merged with Rogers in January of 2012. Most of the homes will be on 1-5 acres and will have a well and septic system. Some of these homes are located in beautiful neighborhoods, and some will be on more private parcels with outbuildings. Homeowners with large lots in Rogers MN enjoy having a large amount of space to garden, have outbuilding storage for a small business, or just enjoy the privacy and nature views. Check with the City of Rogers for ordinances on horses and livestock and other Land Use questions.
What to look out for when buying homes with Acreage in Rogers MN There are a couple of things you will want to research when purchasing a home with acreage.
- A survey or plat map. The seller should be able to provide a survey or plat of the property, so that you are clear about where the lot lines are. Ask the seller to have the corners marked. This is especially important if the home is not in a newer neighborhood, because often times multiple parcels were owned by the same person, and they may have built an outbuilding or driveway overlapping two separate parcels. This can become a problem in the future if there is not some type of agreement between property owners. If the seller cannot provide a survey, you might want to order one as a contingency before moving ahead with the purchase.
- Certificate of Compliance for the septic system. A certificate of compliance for a septic is good for 3 years in Hennepin County. If the home does not have a current compliance, we recommend you put in a contingency and test the system before purchasing.
- A Water Test. Most lenders will require that you have the well water tested before they will approve the loan.
- Easements or Variances. Be aware of any easements or variances on the property. These should be recorded with the county and will show up in the title work.
