[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3550829, member: 26737"] It depends on what's on the property and what the previous owners did with it. If it's a plat on a bigger property (i.e, someone is selling off parts of a bigger property), it depends on which parcel you buy. If you buy a parcel on the edge, it may already have an established fence line, but if it's an interior parcel, it may not even have the fence lines cleared. My dad bought 10 acres like that, so it had a fence on the frontage and one side, but we had to clear trees on the other long side. Another concern is access. That's not a big deal if your parcel has a frontage on a county road, but if it's an interior parcel, that could get spendy. As I understand it, it's not legal to sell a land-locked parcel in Oklahoma, but that doesn't mean that the easement for access will be an easy one. F'rinstance, I know of one parcel where they had to build a private road more than 3/4 of a mile long because nobody on the other side of the section (where it would've been less than 1/4 mi to the section road) would sell an easement. And not long after my dad bought the aforementioned 10, he was forced to grant an easement for the parcel behind his, so he did...on the side with the 20 foot deep gulley going through the fence line. In a related vein, you need to look as easements on the property itself. If there's an easement for a natural gas line that crosses the property, or for access to an interior parcel, that'll limit where you can build. [/QUOTE]
