land prospects

One thing that has been weighing heavy on our hearts and minds is moving. We have been very fortunate to be where we are right now, but we are ready to move on. We want to buy our own land and build our own dream house. We have a realtor and have seen a few different pieces that we like. But there is one that we are really loving right now. It is about 9 miles from our little town, down 2 miles of dirt road, and has an easement through a land in front of it. 10 acres for a good price though, in a location with very few neighbors (one HUGE factor for us!) So this week I will be researching the land...are there any restrictions? What exactly does the easement mean? We have lots to learn. I ado have my hopes set on this one though.
