Foothills Finest : Nevada County Real Estate

Raw Or
Unfinished?

While there are various entitled and finished residential and commercial properties in the region – ready for immediate construction, the vast majority of the undeveloped parcels in the area are unentitled and unimproved. This means that (in many circumstances) one must have an overall understanding of the processes required to gain entitlements (if necessary) and make a parcel “buildable” in order to make the most of a property (and make the best purchase). Amongst other things, this can require knowledge of a site’s soils characteristics (which affects roads, drainage, foundations, utility runs, wells, and percolation for waste handling) and a site’s various usage restrictions from zoning, CC&Rs, and the like in order to make a parcel ready to be built upon.

Needless to say there is much to consider relative to such a purchase. No one can know all of the answers, but Foothill's Finest prides itself in its broad knowledge base and ability to help its Clients find the answers they need relative to the various nuances of a particular parcel or area. Knowing the various communities and areas as we do, their features and subtleties, can help us speed a Client’s pursuit of a particular parcel type, and for many, make such a process much less daunting. We welcome the opportunity to share our expertise (and help guide those considering a land purchase to get all of the appropriate questions answered) before we help them with the purchase contract.
