Buying Property In The Country

If your considering buying property in the country and building a log home, you will have to learn to expect the laid-back behavour that country areas tend to be and things get done when people get around to it. If you are a new- comer you might as well get used to the relaxed pace. The property you are considering must meet certain applications, building permits and so-on. Access problems are another concern, for example; easements which may provide access to the property no matter how limited the use or enjoyment, and if that is the case, you have little say in how they use it. If you are planning on building off a beaten path realize how costly it is to maintain. You may have trees that are not safe over the driveway that needs to be cut down, or a driveway that needs plowing in the winter just don't hold your breath waiting for your neighbour to come and plow you out after a heavy snowfall. Also, other items you may need to think about are: hydro, satellite t.v., telephone and the costs involved in getting them to your property.
