How it sold

The land passed through three estates. Then there was the ditch.

Three acres of farmland on Wall Street, inside the Town of Grifton. It is Lot 4 of eight long three-acre lots a 1963 estate survey cut from a family farm bought in 1945.

The first problem was title. The land had passed from grandmother to father to mother to the owner, and the closing attorney could not at first show she was the only owner. He read three estate files to clear it, and the recorded deed now spells out the whole chain.

The second was the ditch. A water-holding ditch crosses the front third, and the field had been farmed for years. We paid a soil scientist, who bored seven holes. The front third is too wet, but about 40,000 sq ft in the middle has 36 inches or more of sand to wetness, enough for a conventional septic system for a three-bedroom home. That report is below.

It closed in October 2025.

What we learned

Farmland needs borings, not a guess.

Title and deed
Verified

"Lot 4" of the 1963 "Survey for Eugenia Roundtree" filed in her estate, carved from 25 acres acquired in 1945 (Book J24 Page 432). Lot 4 was devised to one child, then passed through two more estates. The closing attorney cleared all three; the recorded deed (Book 4690 Page 592) recites the whole chain.

Soil and site evaluation
Verified

Soil & Septic Solutions, PLLC, field date September 13, 2025, report September 18, 2025. Seven borings. The front third is unsuitable because of wetness near the ditch. About 40,000 sq ft in the middle has at least 36 in of sand to wetness: suitable for a conventional system for a three-bedroom home. Not a permit.

Water and sewer
Said on a call

Town water is available, with a tap fee of about $3,000. No sewer: a home needs septic.

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.
