What You Need to Know Before Moving to a Rural Home

When you rent or purchase a home in a rural area, be sure to understand every little detail about the property. Specifically, is the road to your home maintained or are you responsible for plowing? Is the tractor parked in the barn included in the purchase price and does it run? Next, check the title to see if the property has been tested for contamination. If you’re unable to find out, purchase title insurance to protect yourself and hope that you won’t need it. Where is the closest major city or town and what do they offer for doctors, veterinarians, handymen, and the like? Finally, what emergency services are available in your area and are they accessible by dialing 911?

Key Takeaways:

  • Before moving into a rural home, be sure to know if the attached barn is part of the deal and if you can use the tractor that’s parked outside.
  • Ask if you are responsible for plowing the road and driveway or if that service is included in your rent.
  • Familiarize yourself with the closest major cities and what they offer in terms of doctors, hair salons, and other services.

“As more and more people become disillusioned with city life, there is an exodus moving to the countryside.”
