How To Look For Acreage For Sale

By Andrea Davidson


If you want to own a parcel of land to develop or build your dream home, then you might want to look for acreage for sale Kelowna. An acreage is a plot of area in acres that is usually used for some particular purpose such as building or farming. It can be calculated by determining the length and width of the area.

Looking for building plots on the market or other properties on sale is complicated these days, especially with a lot of developers who are competing for the estate. If you plan to buy a plot, it would be best to look for undeveloped since you can start anew with it, though you cannot determine at first glance if it could be easily developed. When buying a brownfield, which is a derelict, abandoned or underused space, inquire for its history.

Ask them if the foundation is natural or man made. You might be surprised to find out that it cannot support a home or any structure in the midst of construction. It is very important to if there is water source nearby and if it is easy to tap into it.

You do not want to request the water distributing company to install a water pipe near you. Ask the owners if there is a septic tank and system installed in the place. In raw lots, ensure that the septic pipes and the potable water pipes should not cross paths.

You should also specify the boundaries of the land, the easements, and the accessibility of the property. There are a lot of ways to find plots ideal for you. The easiest way to get them is through agents, but you can also find them on your own.

Real estate agents are mostly focused in ready built properties though, occasionally, they have undeveloped plots in their hands.

And if they do not have one, they can give you a heads up if they come across it. They often have a lot of contacts in the industry such as property developers, investment clients, those in building trades, and a lot more which could lead you to a potential sale. You can also find a lot of seller on the internet since there are many sites that have extensive list of properties on the market.

Some sellers provide a short, detailed description and pictures of the property. There are also many potential sales being publicized in the newspaper or on notice boards. Though they can only be found rarely and mostly offers a direct sale, though you can benefit greatly from these, particularly if it has not been listed on the market.
