Hi guys,
I'm in the very beginning of looking for land. We have set our mines in Idaho and I been looking online at listings and gathering as much information as possible. We are scheduled to fly there 1st week of march and we are also meeting with a realtor. We have about 8 days and want to make sure they count. It's obvious that buying land is much more work then buying a house. We want at least 5 acres., able to build a natural home and have some farm animals. We are essentially trying to go off the grid as much as possible (no public utilities, grow own food etc) so I'm aware to stay out of city limits. I would like to be at least within 30 -40 minutes a small town or city because I have a 3 year old and do not want to homeschool. I have been looking within 40 minutes of Boise, pretty much all treasure valley, Emmett, horseshoe bend, Idaho city , weiser, also looking at salmon Idaho. I read the southwest has longer growing season ( warmer climate) and so would like to stick to southwest , central Idaho.
I noticed not a lot of inventory and land is quite expensive for just a couple of acres. . Also read some investors own thousands of lots 😕
I need you help! How do I find lots that don't have addresses? If I am looking at let's say 20 acres how do I look at must of I'm think walking will take a while . Should I rent some type go cart or Atv sorry if these questions seem kinda of stupid. I really would like to find my piece of land this trip as we are ready to get out of lifestyle. I doubt realtor is going to go with us all over, and spent considerable time looking at each lots.
I read and made a checklist of things to look into and consider
Anything else I should know?
Please feel free to make any recommendations
Favorite nice towns etc
Thanks
