Site & surroundings

Physical conditions that affect value and rarely appear on a listing.

• Runway 18/360.9 mi from parcel centre

  Approach paths extend far beyond the runway itself — check which end the parcel is under.

• FEMA flood zone A — special flood hazard area

  1% annual chance flood (100-year). Insurance mandatory with a federally backed loan; no base flood elevation published for this zone. Flood insurance will be required for a federally backed mortgage, which is a permanent cost on any resale and can exceed the payment on a low-value parcel.

• No mapped road within 150m

  Nothing in the road network reaches this parcel. Landlocked parcels are common in tax sales and are the standard way to buy something that cannot be resold — verify legal access on the plat and the deed before bidding. OSM coverage is thinner in rural counties, so treat this as a reason to check rather than as a finding.

• Runway1.6 mi from parcel centre

  Approach paths extend far beyond the runway itself — check which end the parcel is under.

• 22% of homes vacant year-round in Census Tract 9503

  218 of 989 units sit empty outside seasonal use. High vacancy is an exit-risk signal rather than a price signal — the question is whether there is a buyer at any price, not what the price is.
