Waterfront Land for Sale

When it comes to buying land, many people have their heart set on the waterfront. Being on the water offers many advantages, not the least of which is the calming power of water. Just seeing water can make us feel happier and relaxed almost instantly. But there are other advantages to waterfront land. Immediate access to the water makes many recreational activities easier, such as fishing, boating and waterfowl hunting. Those who enjoy hunting, wildlife watching and birding can benefit from waterfront property as animals are attracted to water. No matter your desire, there is plentiful waterfront land for sale in Virginia, waterfront land in North Carolina and waterfront land in South Carolina. Land along the Atlantic coastline is highly desirable and therefore the most expensive, but if you look westward you can find waterfront land for sale on the Chesapeake Bay, the sounds of North Carolina, lakes, rivers, streams and more. We specialize in rural waterfront land away from busy urban areas, and we can help you find waterfront land for sale for recreation, relaxation, rural living and investment.

Considerations about Waterfront Land for Sale

When searching for waterfront land for sale, there are a few things you’ll need to keep in mind. Are there historic and recent land surveys, elevation certificates and water-quality tests for the property you are considering? Are there any zoning laws that prohibit your desired uses for the land? Have you spent time on the body of water near the property? Depending on your desired use, it may behoove you to do so before making an investment. What are the insurance requirements and estimates on the waterfront land? Flood insurance and hurricane insurance can be costly, so be sure to find out before you buy. What is the history of the shoreline, and what is predicted for its future? The Land and Farms Realty agents are specialists and can help you with these issues when you’re considering waterfront land for sale.
