Buying an acreage is not buying a house with a bigger yard.
I'm Jeremy Wiens, a REALTOR® with Real Broker working across southeastern Manitoba — Steinbach, Ste. Anne, Hanover, La Broquerie, De Salaberry and the country between them. Most of my work happens outside town limits, and that's on purpose.
Out here, the things that wreck a deal are the things nobody thought to ask about: water, septic, access, power, zoning, insurance, financing. Almost all of it is catchable before you commit.
This is the list I walk through with my own clients. Use it, bring it to a showing, write on it. If something stops you cold, call me.
