Thanks for the feedback guys.Most of you seem to know more about this than I do.Spoke to a town planner from the appropriate council today.He tells me that the 200 acres is zoned farming and that a subdivision is possible as each lot would be the minimum of 100 acres required under their guidelines.It is a corner block so access to both would not be a problem.There are some restrictions on the land, one being a wildlife matter and the other being a Fire Authority one.Both of which he explained would not interfere with what I’m wanting to do.If I can bore you with another scenario I’m considering, that is 8.5 acres, very near but much better position than the 200 for the exact same investment as my half share of the 200 acres.This block has town water, elec. and telephone connections already at the boundaries.I know it’s a huge difference in size but in either case all I would be doing is building a moderate size home and using maybe 2 or 3 acres, the rest would remain bush.Leaning towards the 8.5 simply so that I can purchase it on my own.
As far as finance, I saw my broker today,I have approx. 2.5 times the purchase price in equity and do plan to borrow 80-100% and it sounds positive , he will let me know tomorrow and I will keep you all posted.
Cheers Paul

Land is definately for sale
