North Branch and northern Lapeer County attract buyers looking for more space, larger lots and rural property. Acreage can be a major benefit, but buyers should evaluate how the land can actually be used.

Important questions include the location and condition of the well and septic system, wet areas, easements, road access, property boundaries and the condition of barns or pole buildings. A survey may be useful when boundaries or improvements are important to the purchase.

The value of acreage varies with location, usability and the improvements on the property. Comparing similar rural sales is generally more useful than comparing a country home directly with an in-town property.
