DES well data:

Septic design and perc test: maybe in the $2k to $3K range.

As they say in the stock market "buy low, sell high". Right now you would be buying high with almost no inventory. Most all good lots are gone.

You might find the information available through the NHDES Data Mapper helpful. https://nh-department-of-environment...ub.arcgis.com/

Strongly suggest you hire a survey engineer. They will be able to assess the full piece of land for things like wetlands, setbacks, potential septic and well locations, potential ledge, and most importantly potential building envelopes based on the size of the property and those factors.

We purchased a large piece of land on the lake last year and went through a 6 month Pre-close process to confirm we could do what we wanted - including subdividing the land and getting through town approvals for that.

You definitely want to confirm you are not buying a “turkey” that you will be stuck with and not be able to do what you intend with the land
