Wells, septic systems and long distances
Many rural properties use a private well and a septic system, and both shape where you can dig, plant and build. Septic drain fields need clear access and should not be buried under heavy paving or deep-rooted trees. Wells supply irrigation water too, but iron in the water can leave orange stains on pavers and walls.
Distance adds cost and complexity. Running irrigation lines to a far corner, hauling soil down a long drive and moving equipment across soft ground all take time. Open fields also catch wind, and summer storms can send water along old ditches and low paths. We walk the whole property and map those flows before we price anything.
