In most counties to get a "CO", "Certificate of Occupancy" you will need water/sewer at the least and may require power, legal easement and more.

Buying land rarely includes Mineral or Water Rights and may not have a legal Easement (Access).
Most Land is sold with "Surface Rights" only.
Always do your research before you buy.

Building, Material and Out-Buildings
Choosing the right "Building Materials" for your land builds is very important to make sure materials meet code but also will weather wind rain, snow and other conditions.
Outbuildings should be included in your "Master Plan" to make sure no Zoning or Building Codes are going to stop your project.

I bought my first 6 acres at 23 years old, that is an age when some things in life are usually priority, relationships, friends, exploring, travel maybe marriage etc.
Living on your land alone can sound great but can quickly become an eye opener to your other needs.
Think carefully about your community and relationship needs.
