Don't forget to make sure you have the right to pass over other people's property to get to your own. I forget the legal term for it, but around here it has to be renewed every five years.

I bought a piece of property off the grid about 1 and 1/3 acre and lived on it for three or four months, but when winter came I decided to move into town.

While I was living in town someone came along and bought both pieces of property on either side of me and then tried to buy mine from me so he could have a super nice parcel of land to build his cabin on. When I would not sell he informed me that I could no longer use the two roads that travelled through his property to get to mine. I then asked if I could park at the bottom and walk up and he said, "No".

The walk up to mine was to steep to drive or walk so to make a long story short I sold him my parcel, it's now worth three times more than it was seven years ago.

Make sure you have the right of way and mineral rights too and don't think a survey is too expensive an item to include.

Hope I can save you some grief ...
