The acreage checklist every Lane County buyer needs before the offer.

This free checklist walks you through the questions every acreage buyer has to answer: well and water, septic, zoning, easements, access, and what the land really costs to carry. Work through it before you make an offer, then bring me the questions you cannot answer. That is where the real conversation starts.

What is inside

Written for families buying land in Lane County.

Not a generic rural checklist. This one covers the systems and questions that actually decide whether acreage works for your family, in the order you should ask them.

  • Well and water: what to test, who tests it, and what the results mean for the property's value
  • Septic systems: the questions to ask before closing, not after
  • Zoning: what you can raise, build, run, and subdivide on the land
  • Easements and access: what they mean and what they limit
  • Carrying costs: utilities, maintenance, and land upkeep that first-time acreage buyers rarely budget for
  • A due-diligence timeline, so inspection and paperwork never rush you

From the ground I walk

I live on 7-plus acres in the woods. I wrote this checklist from that ground.

Wells, septic, zoning, road access, and the carrying costs of rural life are not paperwork to me. They are my Tuesday. This checklist is the one I would hand you at a showing, typed up and ready to keep.
