How to Find and Buy RV Property

Over the past year or so, the RV community has become very interested in how to find and buy RV property. While the buying part is pretty straightforward, the finding part is where the big challenges lie.

In terms of multi-acre RV properties where you can camp whenever and for however long you want, hunting for the perfect spot can be very daunting.

There just aren't that many places available where you can do what you want with your RV property.

In Episode 431 of the RV Podcast, we talk with a representative of the company behind one of the most successful and popular RV property developments anywhere in the country- the Woodlands at Buffalo River near the Mid-Tennessee town of Linden.

That's where Jennifer and I own 5 acres that we've turned into our own private RV retreat. We bought there in Nov. 2021. After the interview, we also share in the podcast our personal tips for finding RV land.

Tips on How to Find and Buy RV Property

Cree Ham, from The Woodlands at Buffalo River

Our special guest on this episode of the podcast is Cree Ham, the sales manager for Tennessee Land and Lakes, the development company behind the near 5,000-acre Woodlands at Buffalo River project, which will hold a one-day sale on Feb 4, 2023, for lots in the final phase of the development.

Jennifer and I will attend that sale, hanging out with shoppers and sharing our personal experience of being RV property owners. You can get information on it at https://MyRVLand.com.

"Finding multi-acre properties that you can camp on in your RV without restrictions is very hard," Cree told us. "There are not that many places in the country like we have at the Woodlands where you are not required to build in a certain timeframe or restricted in how long you can camp there. At the Woodlands, you can camp in your RV, build if you want, or just keep it for hunting, or ATV use or whatever you want."

Among things RV land shoppers would look for, said Cree, are:

* Easy Access to the property - Make sure the property is not landlocked. Each of the parcels being sold at the Woodlands has a road right in front of the property.

* Water - Can you drill a well? Is there good water? The Woodlands sits atop an excellent aquifer that produces clean water.

* Electricity - How hard will it be to get power onto the property? The Woodlands has electric lines right on the road running past each lot.

* Septic - Will local officials allow septic tanks? Perry County inspects and authorizes septic systems on the Woodlands properties.

* Local Contractors - Are there local tradespeople and contractors available to do things like clear trees, build driveways, grade the land, dig wells, and wire electrical pedestals? The Woodlands provides a list to each buyer of recommended local contractors who know the area.

* Internet - With so many now working remotely, what kind of Internet connectivity is available?
