wee Property 1

Here begins the internet shopping for land. I looked all over the internet last night trying to find land for sale...very frustrating. I realized a little later that the real estate agent we had been working with might have some property listings at his site.

Ken Fradkin is super nice and I like his website because after you put in the type of land you are interested in, the site will send you a daily listing of new properties.

We are looking for this type of property:
Cost: Less than $25,000, although we would like to really pay $15,000.
Size: At least an acre, but we are not too picky.
Location: 2-3 hours from DC and near some parks. NOT in a subdivision.
Requirements: Well, we would like to get an improved lot, but this is not necessary.
Elevation: Above sea level...by quite a bit!

Here are the first properties I found today with potential:

1. Description: 2.37 WOODED ACRES CLOSE TO CACAPON STATE PARK
Address: PLUM TREE LN, BERKELEY SPRINGS, WV 25411
Price: $24,900
Comments: This one sounds cute, but is above our price range. One good thing about the site is it's proximity to DC and the Shenandoah National Park. Unfortunately, I think it is in a home owner's association.


2. Address: MOUNTAIN TOP RD, BLOOMERY, WV 26817
Price: $18,500
Size: Nice 2 acre building lot, or just come on weekends and relax in the woods. Short drive back to Winchester Va. and priced to sell. Adjacent 2 acre parcel is also for sale.
Comments: This one has potential. I like the location. No pictures though, which is weird.


3. Address: ON FALCONWOOD RD, BLOOMERY, WV 26817
Price: $15,000
Size: 2 acres
Comments: This is right in our budget...real nice. It was listed last summer, so maybe we could do some negotiating.

This internet searching has me wondering about people's vision. Who took this picture? It is horrible...perhaps I could make some money on the side taking pictures of property for sale...
