If you're young enough, you'll enjoy working the land and cleaning up the remnants of the previous occupants. No one should bother you to there and it's yours! Plus, you can shoot a gun out there without neighbors complaining.
What it do and just may be doing on a couple years. IF you have a tractor and other tools and equipment you will be keeping on site I would buy a nice used or even new high cube 40' shipping container and fab a better locking system on it. Put it in a location that it could possibly remain once your home and other out buildings. Then build a basic wood roof structure over the container and extending out over one side 12'-16' for a sort of covered lean-to storage area. Store tools and your tractor inside the container when you are not on the property and less valuable materials under the covered area next to the container.
I'd then setup some sort of wireless camera system or Wireless game camera system for security concerns. A nice used 5th wheel or larger travel trailer wired to allow 50amp service from existing power on the property. THis for use of A/C and heaters when needed as well as other functions the RV has and for other power tool usage.
Contact the county Environmental quality folks.(maybe the state, I don't remember) They will have records of where it was installed, and a map of where the leach field is after installation.@Parks 788 & @TerryMiller There is already a septic system, I just need to locate it.

Buy some goats.
Well I dun gon an dun it agin!
Bought just under 10 acres outside Claremore.
It’s beautiful property, but needs some trash cleanup. More on that later. Has some cross fencing, which I’ll be evaluating to see what’s good, what needs repair/replacement, and what I want to just remove.
There was a house on it, which burned, so there's existing utilities: septic, rural water, electric. Which was a big plus.
The downside, is that there is still some rubble left of the house, and the resident left a fair amount of trash here and there over the property.
I also bought a Kubota 30hp diesel 4x4 tractor with loader, that included a brush hog and disc.
I’m looking at getting some kind of ATV and a smallish trailer with taller sides so I can pull it around for the trash cleanup.
I won’t be building on it for 6 mo to a year.
I’d like to get some pictures soon, if I can get some decent pictures I’ll post a couple on here. For now all I’ve got is one of the driveway.
