What to Know Before Buying Land in Greenbrier

Buying land is VERY different from buying a house.

Here’s what you ALWAYS need to check — and where I help you as your Greenbrier acreage specialist:

✔ Utilities: Water, Electric, Gas

Ask:

Is water available at the street?

Is a tap fee required?

Is electricity available from
Entergy?

Will gas be natural gas or propane?

✔ Septic & Soil Tests

Most land in Greenbrier will require a septic system.

I guide buyers through:

Perc tests

Soil quality

Septic suitability

Cost expectations

This alone saves buyers thousands in mistakes.

✔ Easements & Access

We check:

Legal road access

Shared driveways

Utility easements

Restrictions

Setbacks

Incorrect easement understanding is one of the top reasons land deals fall apart — but not when you work with an
expert.

✔ Topography

Greenbrier has:

Flat pasture

Sloped wooded tracts

Rolling hills

Build-ready ridge sites

I help you understand building cost differences and site prep realities.

✔ Zoning & Restrictions

Rural parcels normally have light restrictions.

Subdivision parcels often have covenants to protect value.
