re: Thinking about buying a house on ~4 acres

I sure miss living on acreage. I had 7.5 acres with about 3 kept cut and manicured the rest woods.
I work at a desk all day so doing yard work was kind of my escape so it never bothered me especially with a zero mower it makes it kind of fun.
Like other people have stated drainage seems to be an issue when buying larger acreage lots especially in South La. so just check on that. Check the Flood Zone on a flood map, see if you can get reliable internet, check for natural gas, septic tank, and water well!
Septic tank wasn't ever an issue as long as you added the enzymes on a timely basis.
The water well was always a pain in the butt!!!
