This beautiful 17 acre parcel with barn, 2 ponds and a 2 level residence was a bank owned property outside of Catlett VA.
Jan and Steve Bachman real estate agents, took it to successful settlement last Friday representing the interests of their purchasing clients.
If you are looking for country property keep in mind that in addition to the usual home inspection, you will also need to get a thorough well and septic inspection. Failure to do this can cost you thousands if not $10s of thousands.
Some properties need completely new well and septic systems because of broken lines or leaking tanks.
If you have been concerned with the potential costs of renovating distressed properties like short sales or foreclosures like this one....be at peace.
Both FHA and conventional lenders have programs for well qualified folks that will finance the rehabilitation.
Estimates are gotten in advance and the lender pays the contractors as the work is completed.
It can be done.
Buying land or country property is not the same as buying a townhouse or condo. There are zoning, permit, easement and survey considerations that most agents have never dealt with.
Always work with agents who have successfully navigated the special requirements that come with buying or selling our beautiful Northern Virginia countryside.
If you are a denizen of suburbia and have been dreaming of a piece of Loudoun, Fauquier or Culpeper counties to ride your tractor across...
...come on.... let's go find your slice of our rolling beauty.
