My wife and I are in the process of trying to find some land to build a house. I came across some bank owned land that was selling dirt cheap. I went out and walked it and it looked great, 1.34 acres, pretty flat, nice houses, etc.

I called my realtor and start getting my money straight to buy it, then my realtor dug up some stuff.

I looks like it isn't 1.34 acres, but .42 acres. The other half is deeded to someone else. And both pieces of land are deemed unbuildable because they are supposedly septic fields for two other lots.

But the weird part is that the two lots that are septic fields for this one are like 40' downhill and about 250' feet away. Plus they are across two other developed lots and on the other side of a Neuse River watershed boundary.

It is al screwed up. My realtor is trying to figure out WTF is up with this land, maybe things got changed.

Just my luck. :shaking:
 
I lived in a house with the septic field higher and removed from the property. It was pumped to the other side of the neighbors house, uphill.

Primary or secondary fields?

Some counties and or area's make you have a primary, then make you designate a secondary area .......as part of the pageant's rules, in the case that the primary can no longer fulfill her duties and obligations as Miss America, the first runner-up, .....I mean, you get the idea though.
If it's secondary, then tell them to find another area.

How far though? You would literally need to pump shit over 300ft across exsiting homes and yards, then up 40'. And also would need to cross an existing stream and protected watershed.

Oh, and as of right now there are no fields there. I think it is a "when they develop these lots, this is where the septic will go" sort of thing.

If I were the neighbors I would be pissed. Nice neighborhood with 3000sqft houses and right smack in the middle of it is an overgrown lot that looks like shit, and now it can't be built on.
 
So apparently the price is for two lots, one is 1.65 acres and the other is .4 acres. The .4 acres is where the septic needs to be for building on the 1.65 acre lot. I would literally have to run 450' of pipe from the homesite to the septic tank. Plus the topo sucks on the lot that is buildable.

I'm going to pass.
