User ID: 75792621 United States 11/17/2017 09:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thanks, you got me interested in this subject again. I used to have books about buying land but couldn't keep everything and didn't think I would use them for a decade at least at the time. Things have changed a lot as far as building codes, zoning, water rights, etc. since I was a teenager reading the Mother Earth News. At least, it seems that way. Within the next five years my plan is to be self employed with a business that I could take with me if I moved. So it's interesting to think what the options might be - and better to think of all the options in advance instead of having to rush a decision about moving if it comes to that. |

User ID: 69561889 United States 11/29/2017 09:09 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Look for land without covenants. Other than actually owning the land, you should have a good source of water. In the west, water is very important. Having a river on your property doesn't necessarily mean you have a good source of water. The water rights to every drop of surface water have been litigated for over a hundred and fifty years. Natural springs are worth more than gold. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.

User ID: 75910902 United States 11/29/2017 09:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I recently bought a property in northern Idaho that is near hundreds of square miles of Federal and State wilderness, but I own the house and land outright. Are you saying this is unwise? Can you be more detailed about what the problem is or could be? I am surrounded by mountains, timber, wildlife, rivers and streams, and self sufficient neighbors, 12 minutes from hospital, six minutes from supermarket. I looked for four years for just the right spot. So I am very interested in what you have to say; I just can't figure out what your warning is. |

User ID: 69561889 United States 11/29/2017 09:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My lovely clear spring is quite toxic. Have your water tested as well. Also, keep in mind that modern farming operations use a lot of toxic chemicals. If you are going use natural spring water, get it at the source, before it gets contaminated. The only problem with my spring water is the cows keeping it muddy all summer. I can't see the bottom of the stream until the cows are moved out, in the fall. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage. It's too late to work within the system, but too early to shoot the bastards." -- Claire Wolfe |

Are you saying "Don't buy near Federal lands" or "Don't buy Federal land"? Your first sentence is kind of vaguely worded. Quoting: Windsage I recently bought a property in northern Idaho that is near hundreds of square miles of Federal and State wilderness, but I own the house and land outright.

You can't buy federal land, you lease it, usually for 99 years. Buying next to federal land is a great idea, you wont have close neighbors.

But white people buy houses and live here all the time. One thing I don't like though, the Indians tell you when you can burn and you need to get a burn permit from them. We can only burn certain times of the year. |

Quoting: SilverPatriot In either case, the land is not yours you are simply paying to be bullied by the government and the land can be taken away at any whim contrived by the government.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 71546118 Sounds very interesting. Titles to lands out west come with less rights than those in the east. In the east we generally own to the center of the earth and up into the sky. So that means we can drill a well. Out west, you have to check everything. You have the right to look at the land and put up a small structure, maybe no more than that. |
