My opinion, which I realize doesn't mean much, but speaking from experience, this is your starter home. Time to tweek your long term plans. I always look at property with RESALE as the most important factor. that said, you have a cute, picturesque appealingly private spot with a smaller cottage style home. Fixed up, very easy to sell. As for making it your dream house, not so much. Like me, a shop with convenient yard space would fit way better, but save that for the next one. I'd dial down the personalization ideas and concentrate on giving the place a solid foundation first. Improve to match the market. Remodel as needed but don't try to make it an expensive show place. Good solid middle of the road housing is always in high demand. Double or better your money and save the big shop for next time and flatter property. No matter how you build a shop the lay of the land is awkward. And by all means, live there while remodeling. Why pay for two places to hang your hat.

Suggest you introduce yourself to your neighbor above you. Let them know you have had your property surveyed. Advise them of what you learned and confirm that they understand the boundry lines before you make any changes to that area of your property. This will resolve issues that may come up if you start building up there. Keeping your neighbors happy is half of making your time at that location a good one. I am excited for you. Get yourself a garden tractor that doubles as a lawn mower. Do not get a lawn mower that will not double as a garden tractor. Good luck with your new home. Remember, a happy wife means a happy life.

From Steve in MD--This looks like quite the score!!! If it were me, I would put a new house up in the flat zone, tear the old one down eliminating all of it's problems you have discovered and not yet discovered. Then, later on, you could always construct a shop in the area where the existing house now sits. My first home was on a similar hillside property and I had a two piece modular house custom built and delivered to the site and it was about one third of the comparable stick built home price wise. I had a complete basement with an integral garage constructed, well drilled, septic and electric lines ran all while the house was custom built to my exact specs in the factory under climate controlled conditions. House came several months later and the two parts were joined and interior/ exterior finishing were completed. Two months later, it was impossible to tell my house wasn't built on site and I was living in it! That seems like the best bang for the buck and you can develop the property to suit your individual wants and needs in time. Why waste all of your time, money and energy on trying to bring the old house up to modern living??? That upper flat would be a beautiful view for a home and create privacy and work/ storage area for your shop below. Just a thought, you may not have considered. With that being said, just think of how much more the entire property would be worth. I'd think that would put your value up several hundred thousand dollars in the long run. I too, struggled with where to locate my house on the lot I had, so I would go to my property and observe the views different times of the day and when I saw how different the view would be from the top ridge, as opposed to the lower area--I was sold and the house up on the ridge turned out great!!!

I was single and making about $20k per year and got the loan for 9% back in 1984, which really made everything possible. Looking back, I am so glad I took that plunge at such a young age. It was scary at the time, but I moved out from my parent's home, and it was so very rewarding! I had no furnishings, but I had a 3 BR/2 Full bath house of my very own.

Yeah I bought a piece of property and it had stakes in the corners but ended up when I got a surveyor out here to Mark the line so that I didn't screw it up and not run a straight fence line that those stakes were not accurate, and that my fence line is like 30 more foot past where I thought it was on one side and like 25 or 30 ft on the other. To hear him talk so what I have to do now is go get a pin survey, since there aren't any official corner pins. I have to get an official corner pin set on all five of my corners. But at the end of the day when I do finally run my fence it's going to be a perfect fence line it's not going to be something I have to move later

If there's still room for a couple of rv spots, those can rent up to 100 a night once again, depending on the going rates in your area. Also migrant workers will often come and rent for several months at a time. Bounce these ideas off the wall and see what sticks. Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Life's an adventure.

I'm a retired Real Estate Agent and I have never closed a house without having the seller or rep locate the property corners so my buyers know what they are buying...It looks like you are on around a half acre? Maybe more? Have no idea what you paid, but finding out that you have all of that useable land is fantastic! I would be thinking about a water feature to drown out the road noise. My goodness, it's quiet where the storage is! You know a home will not go in there! Happy for you!!

If your county is typical the assessor's office has aerials of your property, the entire county for that matter, and their computer software will overlay your property lines on the map so you can see exactly what you own. It's also more accurate than original the survey markers that was done with chains 100 plus years ago. I used to work for the county and some of those original survey markers are off by 100's of yards. We had a neighborhood of 200 plus houses that two cities were fighting over because the original survey was off by over 500 feet. The cities were fighting over it because the new property lines determined which city got the property taxes. The court decided just to leave the property lines as they had been and had the titles updated with the new more accurate coordinates. Good luck. Property lines disputes are never fun.

That field looks like a great place for a large garden (small farm). Grow enough of the right thing(s) and it could produce income. I would recommend finding out how far down the utilities are. Give an idea of what you have to work with.

As far as renting out space for RVs or building another home you would really need to check into city/county ordinances first. Sometimes you can park an RV but you can't live in it or to live in it they may require elec/water/sewer on the lot. They may also require the lot to be divided to build another house. If either is permissible though it would allow you to make money off of that land which is good. Otherwise a nice shop, parking area and driveway could make this home more suitable for you to stay there long term and further increase the properties value.

first thing I would do I would run caution tape straight down your utility line water line gas line, and take a picture of it so you always know right where everything is. And I would look at solid landmarks to measure off of. Like a tree. Big boulders, but with the tree measuring the diameter of it to. So if a gross two or three or 5 inches in years to come you won't be off on where you want to dig, just to be safe I would definitely build a shop up top AND leave room to turn around you absolutely need that, I would to try to dig a little deeper than normal so you don't have such a great coming up, just a thought looks like it turned out pretty good for you good luck with your new challenges :-)

The driveway extension, turnaround, and parking space seems very needed. Beyond that, I think the lower space would be the next place to upgrade for privacy. If you don’t want a huge garden, the lower space looked like it had enough room for an herb garden and a small garden, maybe some flowers. You could add blackberries/raspberries to the top space as a low cost, low maintenance use of the area. It seems like you have plenty of needs, so I would gain as much functional use of the land that you didn’t know you owned for as little effort as possible. Also, you should be conspicuous in using the extra land so that other neighbors (if you have any other than the surveyor) have a chance to dispute the survey before you make any major plans. At the very least, you should keep the land mowed/cared for.

Wow. You’re awesome with your skills. Build a new house on hill - don’t waste money and time on current house. Then you can rent out the current house. While you build a house, get a travel trailer and live in that while renting. You have the skills and could have the resources. Either way - great job for being in your 20s. Salute to you and never regret as it’s all a learning process. Always positive in every situation! 😊

Build the shop with a living space. Rent out the living space. That pays part or all of your mortgage. Live in a camper while you renovate. Then either live in the shop and rent out the house or vice versa to have supplemental income once the house is done being renovated. You have income potential, use it to pay for other upgrades until it’s what you want it to be.

Be cautious about how water flows across your land. In most states you could have problems if water flow changes because of any grading or elevation changes. Talk with your new neighbors to see what the flows are and where problem areas are located. Time spent now is money saved later.

Rent a backhoe, dig and level out the hills on the property, and make yourself an acceptable flat yard/driveway. Use all the displaced dirt to make a berm, that runs the entire length of your lot line, on the side where the storage unit's are, for privacy. Look's like you have stone/brick retaining wall's, that could be taken out and reused where needed. Other than sweat equity, the only cost involved would be rental of the backhoe and gas, unless you can borrow one. BTW, make sure to find out first where any underground utility lines/pipes are on the property, so you can work around them. Just leveling out the land would increase the value of that property.

Agree with others. Put your home on the newly discovered field. A little bit more private and less traffic noise. should you decide to do that; wouldn't put any type of rental on the field either. Make the area your escape/quite area from the rat race. Then with the lower lot; even it out as much as you can; possibly turning current house into shop; then create a circular drive around the shop thus creating a turnaround for trailers and parking space/storage for such.

I think you made an excellent decision to buy this property. It has a lot of potential. You could fix up the house while living in it. Maybe even add on so it's a two bedroom. That would make it more desirable for most people. Then later on down the road you could build a bigger house on the field, live in that, and then rent the small house. And then ever even more down the road you could probably sell the whole property and make a significant profit. No matter what you got a good deal.

Mark your utilities with stakes that you can see and mow and trim the upper land so you have an idea of what you own and where you can create a driveway. Try to save your maple and other mature trees. They are expensive when they are small so I can only imagine how much your maple is actually worth. Plus the time it took to grow.

The title company needs a survey in order to know what the property lines are in the description. Yes it is very important for the paperwork. Good luck with your venture and future.

Just consider what you fancy having long term, but that can work for you now without having to have anything pulled down or rebuilt later. Your mate's idea sounds good but whatever you choose has to work for you and how you live. If you need huge turning and parking spaces then that is a priority. Maybe sit down with mates and start drawing a rough idea to which changes can be made continually until fully decided. Best wishes from Australia.

Big flat land with utilities running through? Build your nice house up there with a downhill driveway. Demolish the little house. And make your shop and parking area where the current house is. One, you're further away from the storage units. Two, it solves your turnaround issues. Three, less worries about water drainage problems. I don't know if the current house has a basement or gets flooded. But our house is slightly downhill from our neighbor, and every time it rains, it gets in our basement. It's so annoying. For that reason alone, I'll never have another house at the bottom of a hill. Lol.

I agree with your friend. Build a large shop with a living unit. Check into rural loans and construction loans to see what you can qualify for because using bank money before your savings is the best option. You'll get all that money back with equity and selling it.

Can you access the new part from the road? If so, put a new driveway to the upper part and build your shop/living space there. Take your time and really think about what you want to do. I am sure you want to get going but sit down with a pad of paper and draw out a few ideas . You don’t want to put a bunch of money and time into something and then decide it wasn’t a good idea. Good luck! And I will subscribe!
