I think it's priced pretty accurately. The road to the property is paved but very steep. The road stops (was damaged a few years ago), about 25 feet before the
land starts so materials would most likely have to be brought in by foot. I do also own the adjacent property that is 25 feet of frontage and 250 feet to the back which used to have a house on it. I'm pretty sure that lot has hookups and used to have an occupancy permit and is zoned residential. I would suggest doing your own research for the 2 acres so I don't mislead you. I didn't really think it ever mattered since I own both plots and the backside of the land is so steep, to my knowledge, in the last 75 years no one has surveyed the land. So basically I never thought anyone would care if I put a structure up that happened to be a little over the line. I would
sell that other plot too, but I'd have to ask Millvale first as our contract said they'd get first right of refusal.
The sale date is 2022, but I've been working on this property for a few years before that, so it feels like a lot longer! The property was owned by someone else who had 30 years of back taxes and used it for
deer hunting (not sure how legal that was as it's a residential street).
The plan was to start a small
permaculture community in those woods. There are at least two other 2 acre plots adjacent which also have several decades of back taxes, and could be gotten the way I got this land, which was to work with the school district and pay a lawyer to put the land up for the action. All these plots are touching 300 acres of woods which Millvale has been slowly trying to secure to create a public forest. I paid around 3000 at the auction and around 5000 in legal fees to get the land over the course of 2 years, so I just added 1000 for my labor. Unfortunately, the people I wanted to start this little community with have all left the area, so I'm planning on starting my little homestead someplace else as well.
