A question about land in general

[Caleb]

I've been looking at lots myself, and I often come across statements such as "land not buildable" or "land believed to be unbuildable".  What does that mean?  Does it mean that it really, truly is not buildable (as in, physically impossible for some reason, even if you were very enterprising), or do they mean that it is not buildable by state or local regulations?

Probably regulations according to min. lot size, wetlands or inability to create an effective septic system.

So you may still be able to build a cabin with power but no water?

Yes it's likely, unless you buy a swamp or something.

might even be able to put a trailer on it

typically buildability is a matter of one of several factors--slope, perc test, covenants, zoning

If there is 'city water' why would you need a 'well permit' of any kind?

Because you don't like Chlorine and Flouride? (And NO those are not the names of the town's secretaries, LOL)

We had to fight to keep our wells private here in Bedford! Otherwise the town would have had control over them, even though we have NO town water services, unless you live on the Manchester border.
