We had a gas well on the property we used to rent. It saved us a bundle on our utilities. But sometimes, actually alot in the winter time the gas pressure would drop so low that the gas would go off and I had to climb the hill in snow and pull up the low pressure vowel. It was a pain because sometimes I would get back down to the bottom of the hill and have to climb right back up again because the pressure would drop again. Sometimes this was 3 or 4 times a day in the coldest part of winter. But considering how much we saved, it was worth all that hill climbing. I just hating having to relit the furnace, it was always scarey to me.
If you consider buying land that has free gas, make sure you buy the mineral rights or you will be buying the land and not have any say over the wells or collect any royalties on it. I don't know how it works as far as paying taxes on the royalties but I am sure you would probely have to pay some.
I also wouldn't depend on the wells because we saw 2 go dry in the 10 years that we lived there, luckily one did continue to put out.
Not much help I am sure, but this was our experience.
