Well, I want to move to Central Utah. I went and looked at buying land last week, Friday, and it was so much fun! I love looking to buy land and houses and property.
It seems, however, that buying land might be a bigger pain that it’s worth. And my biggest concern is that after we buy the land and dig the well and put in the septic tank and build the house, the amount we paid for the whole kit and kaboodle will be more than the finished product is worth.
So if the land costs $73,000, we would still need to dig a well and put in a water pump. That costs about $20,000. Ouch! And I don’t know how much it would cost to put in a septic tank, or a propane tank either. But all of those are needed because this is a very rural area.
The 5 acre lots we looked at were pretty nice, though. Up against a hill and I could easily open the back door and let the dogs run out! However, the money… dangit, I wish Money wasn’t an issue. But it is.
So we are considering an already built home on a farm, though I’m not going to tell you what it is exactly, because it’s not really up for sale yet. I’m waiting on news from the realtor. But it’s about 7 acres and we drove by and it looked so neat! Maybe my husband’s next job is farmer…. but not just any farmer, a certain type that’d be fun!
I’ll update as I know what happens.
