How it sold

How many homes could it carry? We asked the planner, and got it in writing.

A 1.59-acre corner lot of volunteer pines, carved out of a family farm decades ago, with a newer subdivision behind it and new homes going up across the road.

The question that mattered was how many homes it could carry. The county planner answered in writing: the lot is zoned A1, A1 needs two acres to subdivide, so it cannot be split, and as a lot of record it can carry one single-family home built to the Rural Residential standards.

It was on the MLS for two days before a buyer's agent had a buyer, and it closed in May 2025.

What we learned

Ask the planner how many homes, and get it in writing.

Get the split question answered in writing. The lot is zoned A1, and A1 needs two acres to subdivide. One email from the county planner settled that this 1.59 acres cannot be split, instead of leaving buyers to guess.
Too small to split is not too small to build. As a lot of record it can still carry one single-family home under the Rural Residential standards. That turned a "maybe two lots" pitch into a clean one-home site.
A settled answer sells quickly. With the zoning question answered on paper, a buyer's agent had a buyer two days after the lot went on the MLS.
Settle water and sewer before you market. Our notes said septic, while the seller remembered a sewer line run past the lot years earlier. We never got a utility letter, and that is still the open question on this page.

Selling land?

If you own something like this, we would like to hear about it.

Odd lots, divided parcels, land with a question hanging over it: that is most of what we buy. We do the survey, the soil work and the calls to the city and county ourselves, and we put what we find in writing.
