I'm still trying to understand your original premise. Are you saying "Don't buy near Federal lands" or "Don't buy Federal land"? Your first sentence is kind of vaguely worded.
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.
Quoting: Windsage 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. Most federal lands are reserved for nature and no building is allowed. Thanks for the clarification. If you want to have an idea of federal lands try the below link and know you can rent the acreage but the government owns the land and it would not be wise to build upon rented land. Federal lands must be researched as upon close inspection the land might be broken into squares like a checkerboard of public freely owned land and BLM land Other states fall under Conservation Easements meaning you cannot do as you wish with the land. Make sure the land you wish to purchase is free of covenants and restrictions otherwise the land is not yours.
