I've been scouring the real estate agents' websites via Yahoo! and FindYourSpot.com. There are a few lovely tracts of land: 1st is 24 acres, the 2nd is 20 acres in Black Mountain, NC, the 3rd is in Marshall, NC for just over 18acres, the list is endless. Of course, I wouldn't buy anything without viewing it first! lol

I'm just wondering how easy/difficult it is to build house on this type of land. I'm not all that up on US building regulations, etc especially in NC. I know it depends on zoning and restrictions, too.

AND

I'm also wondering has anyone had a house built in NC? Of course, I'm not wanting anything fancy. lol I would like to know the minimum amount to be able to build, plus any other costs. I haven't a clue how or where to start! Know any good builders?

I am a real estate agent in New Jersey. Loads of people from NJ are moving to NC. If you want me to refer you to an agent in NC who can help you with info on a land purchase and recommend builders and stuff, just let me know.

If you ever want to move to eastern N.C., My mom owns a nice piece of undeveloped lakeside land outside of Fayetteville, N.C. that I'm sure she'd be happy to sell, as all of her children and grandchildren now live out here in Utah, and she doesn't plan on ever moving back to N.C.

Sorry, I don't know much about building yet - we're just now trying to learn the ropes!
