Product Description
With 200,000 copies in print since its original 1974 edition, Finding and Buying Your Place in the Country was instrumental in addressing the needs of the original "back to the land" movement. Over five updated editions and nearly 30 years, it has continued to serve those seeking a new start in a country or vacation home. Since the publication of the first edition, dramatic technological changes have made rural living a viable option for many people seeking to leave behind urban stress. Even those committed to city living are creating a boom in the market for second homes, often rural homes, farms or ranches.

Don't buy rural land without it! May 30, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book could easily have been titled "Everything you ever needed to know about rural land sales but didn't know who to ask, or even that you should ask." The Schers give detailed explanations of very complex real estate issues that you just aren't going to be familiar with if you've only bought urban housing or have never bought property at all. I personally know people who have experienced some of the real estate and legal horrors that Les describes in this book. I'm so glad someone finally put all this information together in one somewhat easy-to-read reference... now I know how to keep myself out of the same jams! Even the things that don't specifically apply to my location are good to understand since, in some way, they might still affect me in the long run. Lots of great pointers to additional references and government/legal agencies that I've been trying to pin down.
Definitely a MUST HAVE for any modern homesteader... enthusiastic two thumbs up!!!
Excellent resources if you are looking for land July 16, 2007
I read the book, it cover a lot of the things that I haven't even think about for owning land. Anyone who is looking to buy land to invest, this book is a must read.
 Great starting point for beginning land buyers May 7, 2007
My husband and I are considering buying some undeveloped land. While we own a house, we know nothing about rural land purchases and didn't even know what questions we should be asking. This brook provided a good overview of issues to consider, and the checklist at the back of things to inspect/ask about for each property was especially helpful.

If comprehensive is what you want, this should make you happy. The problem is that if you follow every bit of advice in this book you will have to quit your job and make finding your place a full time endeavor (or spend years part time). The advice is all good, but it almost makes the task seem more daunting, not less. Still great for learning all the issues and things to look out for, then you decide how much effort to put into footwork before buying your piece in the country
