Looks like this thread has pretty well been commented to death!! But all good, as far as I can see.
I have another thought.....future value of the land you may purchase.
If "close" to a town or city limits, the future growth of the town may just make your property eventually become more valuable for future subdividing. On the other hand, this may make close in property more costly to purchase now. And taxes could get to be an issue if the municipality takes over your land by moving it into their jurisdiction...read, "more taxes".
This can be a hard thing to get a grip on, as your property can have an addicting effect: It's mine, and I don't wanna ever sell it! I tend to be that way and want to put down roots where I live. City people don't seem to have this, as it seems people change houses like changing their pants.
After spending years on building up my property to the way I want it, I won't be anxious to sell it in my retirement years, at least while I am still able bodied. But that's just me. YMMV!
Keep us posted!
Jon.
