I received an email from Trulia from an individual asking if we had any cheaper homes. Not knowing what cheaper meant I decided that I would pull up everything under $100,000 and post it here.

So Taytay here is you list of all 42 homes in Bates County under $100,00, I hope this helps. and thanks for visiting Bates County Real Estate
 
 
One of the most common requests I get are for just a few acres in the country. Most of the time the request comes from someone who expects that because land is relatively cheap in bulk....  $1,000 - 5,000 per acre they should be able to find a few acres for a few thousand dollars.

The fact is, it is rather difficult to find that kind of lot. The effort, time and cost of parceling off a small portion that has access to all the utilities you need makes it mostly prohibitive unless you plan an entire development for such land and then of course the price will reflect those costs. Then come the restrictions and requirements that most people wanting "just a few acres" are trying to avoid.

Say you own 200 acres and you sell 4 acres to to Joe for $10,000. Next you sell 8 acres to his brother for another $20,000 and so on. Now your 200 acres is all chopped up and there is no direct passage from one lot to the other. You have effectively landlocked your property and restricted its future use or development.

Often in rural areas land is divided by sections, half sections and quarter sections. One section equals one square mile and that equals 640 acres. So each 1/4 section would amount to 160 acres. That is why you so often see parcels of land sold in in the amount of 160 acres at a time. To start dividing that up would drastically reduce the value and the marketability.

Section of Land
As you can see if I sold individually the portions of land labeled SW, SE and NE then the portion labeled NW becomes useless and unmarketable.

I did find several parcels of small acreage currently on the market in Bates County for you to consider below. Many of them are in planned developments that have restrictions and requirements. A few of them are in or near small towns and some others may be located in the country.

The list below is reflective of what is on the market today, it may change at anytime. If I can help you find what you are looking for please contact us. 816-313-8876
