I know a bit about this situation, you can figure out the family politics it may be a hassle in the beginning but they will get the picture pretty quick. One of our biggest problems were actually the neighbors, constantly trespassing, atvs in the fields after it rained and then of coarse hunting season.

Our farm is 60 acres that was just left to grow no one ever took care of it, they took what they needed from the land and never thought of the future. So we had and still have a lot of clean up too do. But it's still better than having to buy a piece.

The only real concern I would have if I were you would be the beavers, they really can wreak havoc and destroy great pieces of land. Then again beavers have accidents everyday.......

It's a nice looking piece of property, especially if you can afford it. Lots of negative comments but honestly if it has water and you can get a septic the rest is easy. One thing I want to mention we were forced by the town to build an above ground leach field with special sand that cost is just under 20k! If I had it to do over I would have waited another couple months to start building and brought some fill in to avoid that.

I didn't want to move here at first because of all the other reasons mentioned on this thread, but now we are living our dream and I wouldn't trade it for anything else
