Plan for these additional investments Electric Service $5,000 - $25,000+ Varies greatly by distance to nearest line Well Drilling $8,000 - $15,000 Depends on depth and rock conditions Septic System $10,000 - $20,000 Type depends on soil percolation Driveway/Road $5,000 - $30,000+ Based on length and terrain #### Important: Get Cost Estimates First Dawn strongly recommends getting utility cost estimates before purchasing land. A beautiful remote parcel can become unaffordable when power runs $25,000+ to bring in. Dawn can help coordinate these estimates during due diligence. ### Soil & Percolation Testing Understanding your soil determines what you can build. Here's what different soil conditions mean: #### Sandy Soil Fast perc, conventional septic usually works #### Clay Soil Slow perc, may require engineered system #### Rocky/Ledge May limit building locations, mound system likely #### High Water Table May require raised system or alternative ### Land Due Diligence Buying land requires careful investigation. Dawn helps you understand: Zoning verification Wetland delineation Perc test / soil analysis Survey review Access and easements Utility availability Environmental concerns Mineral rights Timber value assessment Development restrictions ### Questions to Consider - What do you plan to do with the land? - When do you plan to build or develop? - What utilities do you need? - How much land do you need? - What is your budget for site preparation? - Do you need financing? ### Utility Considerations In Marquette County, many parcels are off-grid or require significant investment to bring utilities to the site. Dawn helps you estimate costs for power, water, septic, and road access before you commit. #### Pro Tip: Walk the Property Never buy land without walking the entire parcel. Aerial photos don't show wetlands, steep grades, or access issues. Dawn always accompanies buyers on land walks and knows what to look for. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### What is a perc test and why is it important? A percolation test measures how quickly water drains through soil, determining what type of septic system is allowed. Failed perc tests can make land unbuildable or require expensive engineered systems. #### How do I verify road access? Check if the access road is a public road, private road with deeded easement, or landlocked. Landlocked properties require legal access agreements. Dawn verifies access status before any purchase. #### Should I get a survey? Yes, especially for larger parcels. Surveys confirm boundaries, identify encroachments, and reveal easements. They cost $500-2,000 but prevent costly disputes later. #### What about timber value? Wooded parcels may have significant timber value. A forester can assess harvestable timber, which could offset land cost or provide future income. Dawn can connect you with local foresters. #### How long does vacant land take to sell? Land typically takes longer to sell than homes, often 6-12 months or more. Pricing appropriately and understanding buyer financing challenges is critical. ## Ready to Find Your Land?
