    Not exactly my ideal terrain because of the slope of the property. It has a well and septic that haven't been used in a long long time, county is supposed to rebuild the road, two power poles but no power hooked up. A well service company is going out to take a look. Selling price is $5K which is fine and I'll buy even if I don't build on it.

    A 5 acres lot just down the street is listed for $78K that has a 48" fence and that's it, I said I'd offer $20K but doubt they would even entertain it. thumbnail_image1.jpg thumbnail_image2.jpg

    They are close to each other aren't they?

    Maybe the neighbors can act as watchdog while you're not around?

    Is that some sort of race course behind the 1st property? Well and septic a big plus! Needs fence.

    2nd property has access to two roads....drive through property.

    I'd be better off with the 5 acres, the original asking price was $165K and now down to $78K. Way way over priced for me, it's offered by Berkshire realtors.

    Does this lot border your property?

    The two properties are on the same street about 2 blocks separate them.

    I'm guessing this is Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices or Berkshire Hathaway TX, not Berkshire Realtors.
