Any advice on what I need to know about country living/owning property?

Be sure and check for drainage, flooding or erosion issues on your land.
Check easements and access.
Is it already developed? If not find out if the ground will percolate to see about septic requirements. Also talk to well driller about your area and what type of water to expect.
Also whats going on around you any farming, livestock? Up wind? Or?
I live in farm land about an hour south of Sacramento. I’m thinking hard about moving back into town as dirt clouds are getting really old.
Remember California is talking about adding meters to private wells.
FWIW I’ve lost 2 neighbors to Idaho.
