What is different here
What escarpment acreage and rural estates means in The Blue Mountains
The general advice about this property type is available everywhere. This is the part that is specific to this market.
Prove private systems
Well and septic capacity must match intended occupancy.
Operate the road
Legal access, culverts, snow and emergency response are asset facts.
Acreage is not automatic utility
Large area does not establish a severance, second dwelling, event use, accommodation or commercial activity.
Ask the correct authorities about the specific proposal before assigning value.
Outbuildings need their own file
Shops, barns, studios and cabins require permit, occupancy, electrical, heating and access review.
Farm or recreation history does not prove current residential or commercial use.
