Costs Setting Up A Lake Lot?

[DChance]

Anybody know a ballpark range for the costs associated with setting up a lake lot? For example, a lot that needs RV hookups, septic, and water????

How much does installing a septic run?

thanks

When I built my house in '98, (not on a lake)Septic was in the neighborhood of 6 to 7 grand.

It will depend on a number of things. Is the lot large enough to put in a septic system, if not you will have to put in a holding tank or a small treatment plant. I would talke to one or two of the guys in Hickory County that install them, and before you buy a lot check with the county health Dept. to see if they would even approve a septic system on the lot. Several folks have bought small lots intending to put in an RV spot or small cabin only to find out there wasn't enough room, or enough soil to put in a septic field, and had to put in a holding tank that has to be pumped regularly or a few that have had to install a small treatment plant for their home and that isn't cheap. Some of the subdivisions have a septic system you can connect to (for a fee I am sure) and a lagoon or maybe a treatment plant but unfortunately that isn't the norm, there are literally thousands of small septic systems installed decades ago that are only "functional" because they get used only on weekends or a few times a year. They can support a small transient load but not a continuous use load. Always spend a little money up front to know exactly what you are getting into.

We have a 90'X100' Lot we are trying to sell by Truman,but cost us $1,500 for Lot.Cost us around $1,000 to put Electric in.We couldn't put Septic in would have to put Holding Tank in with Alarm I believe it was going to cost $3,000,we put an Evirolite Toilet in $1,500.Phone $100.$5,000 on 10'X20' Cabin and $700 on 8'X12' Shed.Just got through putting $400 of Gravel on the drive.It was going to cost $5,ooo to drill Well no Pump but we can get water at Comunity Hydrate.

All this and can't get $5,000 for it!

Just to give you an idea.
