I have just gone through the experience of purchasing vacant land. Myself, my friend and his brother purchased 40 acres which we subdivided into 6 parcels. What an interesting experience! I wouldn't want to do it again anytime soon, though. My advice is: Read "Finding and Buying Your Place in the Country" by Les Scher, get a good lawyer, find out everything you can about the area, and get as many contingencies in the contract as you can without jeopardizing your negotiations. We have about 30% WETLANDS - they will be your worst nightmare if you don't find out what you can and can't do. Also, don't think you can get by without a real survey.
But, when I stand and look at the view and feel the breeze, it was worth all the work (and I now have an excuse to get a tractor!)
Also, I saw the post from Bird Senter about aerobic septic systems, that seems very interesting. We also have poorly drained clay that doesn't perc well (West Central Florida) and I was wondering what company you use and recommend?

Thanks for the advice! I'll be out searching for new and used tractors, and I'll be sure to mention what I come across.
