We Buy Land of All Types
Whether you’re selling a vacant lot, a large parcel, or land ready for development, Sawmill Homes is here to help. We purchase:
​
-
Unused or Vacant Land: Turn unused land into cash without the stress of upkeep or maintenance.
​​
-
Subdividable Land: If your property is large enough to be divided, we can help with the process and purchase individual parcels or the entire property.
​​
-
Development-Ready Land: Have land that’s already zoned and ready for construction? We’re interested in buying it and developing it for residential purposes.
Our Land Acquisition & Development Process
When we purchase land for residential construction, we follow a comprehensive process to ensure a smooth and successful project:
​
1. Zoning Review: We start by reviewing the current zoning regulations to confirm the land’s potential for residential development and identify any zoning variances or restrictions.
​
2. Site Planning with Engineers & Architects: Our team collaborates with engineers and architects to design a site plan that maximizes land use, ensures proper infrastructure, and aligns with local zoning requirements.
​
3. Environmental & Soil Testing: We conduct necessary environmental assessments and soil tests to ensure the land is suitable for development and to prevent any issues during construction.
​
4. Township & Municipality Approvals: We work closely with local townships and municipalities to obtain all required approvals for development, including site plans, density permits, and any other necessary documentation.
​
5. Permitting & Utilities: We secure all required permits for construction, utility connections (water, sewage, electricity), and any infrastructure improvements necessary for the development.
​
6. Land Clearing & Site Preparation: If applicable, we handle land clearing, grading, and any other site preparation work to get the land ready for construction.
​
7. Construction & Development: With all approvals in place, we move forward with residential construction, whether for single-family homes, townhouses, or multi-unit developments.
​
8. Final Inspection & Sale: After construction is completed, we handle any final inspections and work on selling or leasing the properties to qualified buyers.
Why Sell Your Land?
Whether you're looking to free up some capital, simplify your property holdings, or take advantage of changing circumstances, selling land can be a practical solution.
Here are 5 reasons people choose to sell land (by statistics):
​
-
Property Taxes and Maintenance Costs (29%)
One of the most common reasons landowners sell is to avoid the ongoing costs of property taxes and land maintenance. This is especially true for undeveloped or rural properties that may be difficult to maintain or generate income from.
​
-
Inability to Develop or Utilize the Land (24%)
A significant percentage of sellers report that their land is not suitable for their intended purposes, whether due to zoning restrictions, topography, or lack of infrastructure (like roads or utilities). They sell the land because it no longer serves their personal or business needs.
​
-
Financial Hardship (19%)
For some, selling land is driven by financial necessity—whether to pay off debt, cover personal expenses, or invest in more profitable opportunities. Land can be an asset that provides liquidity when needed most.
​
-
Relocation or Lifestyle Change (15%)
Many landowners sell their property when they relocate for work, family, or lifestyle changes. This can include moving to a new city, state, or country, where holding onto undeveloped land is no longer practical.
​
-
Desire to Liquidate an Inherited Property (13%)
Inheriting land can be a mixed blessing. Some heirs prefer to sell inherited land, particularly if they don't have a personal interest in it, or if the property is too distant, difficult to manage, or doesn’t generate any income.
