Frequently Asked Questions
What is the right land size for me?
Land Within Reach typically sells lots sized between 2.0 to 10.0 acres. A good size reference is an American football field. One (1) single football field is equal to 1.32 acres of land.
- 2.0 acres of land = 2.64 football fields
- 5.0 acres of land = 6.60 football fields
- 10.0 acres of land = 13.20 football fields
So, as you're considering a land purchase, take a moment to walk out onto a football field to get a sense of scale. We think you'll agree that somewhere between two (2) and thirteen (13) football fields is an impressive amount of land that will likely meet your needs.

Are RV, mobile or manufactured homes allowed on my lot?
The deed restrictions associated with all properties sold by Land Within Reach prohibit the use of Mobile or Manufactured homes. Only site-built homes, Barndominiums and high quality modular homes may be used as residences.
Recreational Vehicles (RVs) may temporarily be used as a residence while a single family structure is under construction, but can only be permanently stored on the property behind screening or in a structure when not in use.
