Anybody interested on building on an acre in Bluffdale?

[pELYgroso]

I'm thinking about developing some land and I know of some I can pick up for a reasonable deal. Bluffdale will allow 1 acre lots in this area, no smaller. If I do it, I'd like to have cool neighbors. I might have as many as 4-5 lots. Any takers?

How much does a home cost to build per sq/ft these days? Decent quality, nothing cheap and dirty.

Talk to Cascadia on here

I’d be interested in numbers and exact location. We are trying to stay in Davis county but could be persuaded

 

[ChestonScout]

Yup. All about the numbers. I’m currently looking for an acre or so

 

[pELYgroso]

Cool. Ill be talking with a city engineer on Monday. Ill update w/ some more details if it looks like ill be making an official offer.

 

[Kevin B.]

I'd like to know numbers too.

I just built on an acre in Bluffdale :doh:
And y’all will probably do it for less than I did

I'm curious what your acre ran you?

I’d love to but I’m afraid I wouldn’t like all of you as neighbors. I love being around fellow wheelers but don’t want my neighbors’ back yards to look like junkyards either. It’s a fine line lol

 

[Cascadia]

I’m about 100-105 a square foot right now including everything but land.

Is this for standard quality stuff (formica, vinyl, fiberglass tub, etc) or better quality.. Granite, tile/wood floors, marble shower, etc..?

I was just going to ask the same question.

 

[Tonkaman]

I would have been all over this 3 years ago! I ended up buying instead of building though

$184k

I’m in a moderate HOA subdivision... it’s cheap at $35/month and includes secondary water, but I’m still a bit torn on it... keeps the area all looking nice, but annoying on many aspects... like what and how many plants to have, trailers only parked on concrete, etc


We were about $105.40/sqft with many upgrades.

This is what I like about you Tyler, you make things happened. Get me some info.

 

[ozzy702]

Please get me some info as well. I'm assuming that building a large (potentially tall) shop wouldn't be a problem in this location?

I'm not sure this is going to work out. They are asking too much for the land to make it worth it I think. I would end up with 2 "ready to build" lots of about 1.15 acres and one lot of exactly 1 acre that has an old house, garage, and shop on it. The clean slate lots would have to be about $400k each (ready to build) to make the numbers work which seems high, although I look at what houses on 1 acre are going for in the area and maybe it's not. A 4000 sq ft. house built by a contractor would run $400k-ish or if you build it yourself, maybe a little less. That makes the finished house about $800k give or take. You can get a slightly older but good shape home for quite a bit less than that. What do you guys think?

James, if you got your acre for $185k ready to build, that seems like a SMOKIN deal.

 

[pELYgroso]

The nice thing about these lots is the area and no restrictions on a shop or mini dirtbike track or things like that. And no HOA.

Yeah, that sounds way high.
