How much would it cost to buy a small lot near the beach?<\/p>\n

We looked at some surprisingly low priced homes near the beach. But, you would own the home, not the land it is on. Right now the monthly lot rent is $690 a month. Still, the total is less than most rent, at least around here. And you can do what you want. And have pets.<\/p>\n

How much would it cost to buy a land? Something small, just big enough for one of these little single wide mobile homes or a one module modular home?<\/p>\n

There are flags marking where you could build. It is only big enough to put something small. And you\u2019d have a lot of yard leftover where you can\u2019t build because it is protected wetland.<\/p>\n

A lift station pumps flood water and waste water. At least while we were there, it was noisy.\u00a0 Not deafening, but noisy. I don’t know if it pumps nonstop. The green pipes and concrete pad on the right are a groundwater monitoring well, for observing water levels.<\/p>\n
