A very good chance, though not excellent... to get a good deal on some land. How good of a deal? Depends on who shows up at the auction I suppose!

They are auctioning off several tracts of land, the smallest being 2.75 acres. That's the tract I want. I want to garden it, eventually add peach trees over the years to create the front half of the property as a good size orchard. A couple of dz trees to age with us. Later in life, like 40 years from now, build our dream home and retire. :) Its a nice thought to say the least. The piece of property is GORGEOUS!

That's the pdf of the brochure for the sale.

No minimum starting bid on the property, will sell for whatever... long as it sells. Today was the showing of the property where they brought up all the information to answer questions. You know, tax info, any liens, walking the property line to show where everything will end up falling during the auction. I was 1 of 2 people who showed up for it! That's a good sign, right?!

I have a shot, a small one... but a good shot! I just wish it was better timing, I don't have a lot to throw at it right now. It's EXACTLY where I want to have a piece of property. Literally 1/4 mile from my house :p I'm drooling thinking about. I even got a soil sample to test the fertility. Hehehehe

I say go for it vfem!! I wanted to buy some more land in North Carolina too, maybe have some horses and such. There's so much you can do with acres of land. What's better then having that much space all to yourself.
You only live once right. That does sound nice though maybe plant some more fruit trees. I know what you mean there's just something about having more land that makes you excited.

I hope you get the land vfem!
Good Luck! :thumbsup

That sounds like a great opportunity. Wish that kind of thing happened around here too.

Good luck I hope it works out for you! I was lucky to get the land I have. You just can't find nice available tracts of land around here anymore.
