    The good news is your local tax office and county deeds registry will have info.
    Also, WHEN you deplot this disaster, anyone who owns those isolated parcels would need to purchase an easement to access their .2ac plot.
    I would also reach out to your local tax office and talk to them about what the long term back taxes notes are. I know in multiple places in Upstate NY you can file a claim in the event an adjacent property goes into tax foreclosure which will give you an early opportunity to purchase it from the town for peanuts.

    You may want to negotiate land purchases thru another party. If current lot owners know your status, not only financially, but being the adjacent land owner, the price will sky rocket. Also, real estate investors can swoop in and buy the lots before you get a chance to make offers and also make the prices explode.

    A few things to consider. Buy the deeper interior parcels first in the heart of the property. Parcels on the edge of your boundary usually have less impact, unless there is something unique about them (large parcel, better access, etc.). Another thing. It depends on how a subdivision plat is laid out, but most subdivision plats will have property easements described, roadways feasible to install and use, or not, so subdivided parcels the developer sells are not land locked. The subdivision plat will also have utility easements to allow electric and water lines to be run from off the property to reach each parcel sold.

    I'm in a similar situation up here in Denton County... First, you need at least an acre here to permit septic. Second, we were advised by a lawyer that since an easement wasn't already established to the land-locked parcel and the surrounding land had changed ownership several times, we were not legally required to give an easement to them to access their land, meaning they'd have to fly a helicopter in. The neighbor was able to buy the land-locked parcel CHEAP (explained further below). Check that angle too before making offers.

    Matt, is the ranch actually close to well traveled roads or other businesses? I ask, because I wonder, have you thought about building and opening a gun shop on the ranch? I think it would work well, especially with your range areas close by. It would also be good for people to pick up ammo and such, before going to the ranges. Have you also thought about archery range areas? You could sell archery equipment at the shop too.

    That’s going to be an interesting fix…..Im glad the county is being encouraging in this whole process. That will help a lot. You have a survey so that means you’ve got a surveyor on the project. I assume they will help out with this new project (unless the survey you now have is sufficient which would be awesome). They’re going to need to draw up a new deed too I bet. Thats going to be interesting as well.
