Utility of Land
When buying a plot of land, it is important to factor in the utility of the land.  You must match your vision for the land and structure with the potential to meet your goals.  Do you have the ability to get cable, internet, air conditioning or drinkable well water?  Are you within the area that the main municipal services can be taken advantage of?  Will the land support an in ground pool or a future addition?

You may need to have a salinity study performed by a registered geologist to make certain that well water can be reached that does not commingle with the salt-water table.  You may need to pay extra to make sure you can reach your property from the main road.  The land may not support an in ground pool, so you should have a surveyor inspect the plot.
