Anyone here own property? The next town over from me is a cottage town and there is a 5 acre woodland property near a river for sale. Since it's in a flood zone you can't build anything on it except a cottage so it's "cheap". I don't have the exact dimensions but from the pictures it looks like it's ~200'x~1000'. The neighboring lots are empty with a few cottages here and there. I called the municipality and they said the discharge laws are 150m (500') from habitations. Looking at google maps, it's seems that all the neighbors structures are over 500' from the center of the land.
Since it's so cheap i'm tempted to buy it so I can have my own piece of land i can shoot on but i'm worried that the neighbors/hunters might complain about the noise. I'm also worried someone could build right beside my property line making it illegal to shoot on my own land. From my research, most people suggest a 25 acre minimum for any land you want to shoot on. I really rather stay under a budget of 100k and the biggest lots i've seen at that price in my general area are 10 acres. I also thought about making mounds to deflect noise and limiting myself to .22, 9mm and maybe 12ga birdshot. What do you guys think?
