Maybe a few acres of wilderness appeals to your pioneer spirit. Maybe it's a desire to build a house exactly the way you want, which means starting with a plot of land.  Whatever the motivation, buying land is different from buying a house. Things that never come into discussion in a home purchase - access, utilities, easements, land-use restrictions - become extremely important in a land purchase.

Just as with buying a house, first you have to decide what you want. Once that's finalized and the search area is narrowed, spend a day at the local planning office.

The first item on your list should be a look at the long-range land-use plan. Areas will be designated for business, residential use of varying densities, agriculture and public use, such as parks and schools. It will also warn you whether a garbage dump or maximum-security prison could become your new neighbour.
