Hello,
I’m looking to purchase a Particular small plot of irregular shaped land that has a creek running the full length of it. The property drops steeply off the road before leveling out. It also has a creek meandering through its entirety. When I first saw the property, I loved it. The listing stated that it was BOHA approved for a fill system. When I checked the paperwork, tests found water on the low section to be 30-36” below surface. On the higher ground they found water at 4-5 feet below the surface. Some fill was brought in but then the project was abandoned I guess. The approval was back in 1999 and the approved map of the projected building and septic could not be located.
I was hoping to put a cabin on the property and am wondering how careful I should be in purchasing this land. It was boha approved for a building lot but the paperwork states they do not recommend a basement. I asked if the property had a history of flooding and the realtor replied it was not on a flood plain. It is a year round creek. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
Peter
