"Free from war's cares, returns an
easy food,
they breathe the fresh and uncorrupted air,
and by clear brooks enjoy untroubled sleeps."
May
Many people enjoy living in the country
but it's much different than living in a town.
For example, most country homes
have their own well and septic system
that you have to maintain.
There's a lot more yard maintenance, too. You could lose a tree
during a storm,
and if you live in the north, you'll sometimes get big snow
or ice storms
and power outages.
A storage shed is very useful because you'll have a lot of
maintenance tools.
Wildlife can be a problem, too. Deer, wild turkeys, and raccoons
are very common,
and it's possible to encounter an occasional bear, coyote, or fox.

Very old homes
These can be quaint but may need a lot of work.
Also, remember that most old homes had small closets, low ceilings,
and were quite close to the road. On the other hand,
if a home has stood for 150 years, chances are good it's worth expanding or
restoring.
If you plan to restore an old home, plan to spend more than you expect.
Hidden problems often come to light during renovation.
Sometimes you find an old home that has had many modifications.
That can be good and bad, depending on who did the work
and how good the
design is.
If you've got the money and time, fixing up an old house can be very
rewarding.
|
New developments
Some people like these because they provide neighbors and
convenience.
Unfortunately, most developers strip the land of good trees and shrubs
so a typical lot has lousy landscaping. Often the soil is poor,
too.
Sometimes you can find a nice
development that was developed very thoughtfully,
or one that has matured over many years.
Lots are usually quite small, up to 2 or 3 acres.

Modular homes
Modular homes can be a bargain but they're not for everyone.
Because they're "mass produced" they tend to look alike sometimes,
especially if they're being put up on lots by a builder who is just
"cranking them out" for quick sales.
Buyers should be aware of hidden costs that can come up
when they buy a lot and have a modular brought in.
Make sure to get a good estimate on the cost of a foundation,
driveway, landscaping, septic system, and well if you need one.
Another thing to remember is that a modular may not bring
good a price when selling because of public perception about modulars.

Farms
An old farm is very tempting to buy but be careful.
Watch out for farm dumps, possible pesticide residue, and old decaying
barns.
In NY, you can put parcels over 10 acres into agricultural production
to
save on taxes.

Streams and ponds
Streams are great but few
properties have one,
so if you find one consider yourself lucky and pay more for it.
Ponds can be created on the right type of land but you need a permit.
Permits are not so difficult to get because in the country a pond is
very useful to fire departments in case of an emergency.
Burrowing animals can empty a small pond quickly so it
usually needs to be lined with clay.
Ponds can attract
mosquitoes and other bugs,
so keep that in mind. Animals, too, love ponds.
They all need water and often live near water. |

Buyer Agency
Real estate agents by default
are working on behalf of the seller.
However, you can have an agent work for you, specifically, to find property.
All you need is a buyer's agent agreement.
