LOOK A LITTLE CLOSER
Before you buy land.
These items can turn a bargain into an expensive surprise.
Soils and slope
Geotechnical conditions affect foundation costs and whether a site is buildable. Ask for a geotech report.
Utilities
Extending power, gas, or sewer can be costly. Get written estimates from providers.
Survey and easements
Confirm boundaries, easements, and recorded restrictions with a current survey and title review.
Does Jeff work with farms and ranches?
Yes. Farm and ranch property is one of the three areas of experience, along with residential and commercial, listed on his Countrywide Properties Group profile. He also owns and operates a working elk ranch with his wife, Alana.
Can I assume water rights transfer with the land?
Review the recorded rights, transfer documents, and intended use with the appropriate professionals. Start research with the Idaho Department of Water Resources.
