re: Thinking about buying a house on ~4 acres

Wow, lots of great advice, thanks a ton.
This is a family property that we know all about, it didn't flood 2 years ago, and doesn't hold water at all in the maintained area. Neighbors aren't an issue at all, thankfully.
I am completely ignorant on septic systems but do know this one has been sucked out in the last couple of year, and I don't use condoms so no worries there .
I will budget in for lawn equipment, hadn't thought about needing a chain saw or pole saw but can definitely see where those would be needed.
There's a paved road up to the property, and a long gravel driveway behind an electric gate leading to the house.
We wouldn't be subdividing as this is a property that's been in the family for a while.
Thanks again for the replies.
