For land you're considering
What can this land actually support? Find out before you buy it.
Enter any US or Canadian parcel and get its free Off-Grid Score in about a minute: water, legal, energy, hazard, food, and buildability, read from the records at the exact coordinates, not from the listing. The Property Report, , then shows the data behind every number, what the land will cost to develop, and what to confirm before you commit.

The score lands in your inbox too, so it is safe to step away.
Already own the land? Build the Homestead Plan instead.
Walk into the deal knowing exactly what it takes: development cost estimates for well, septic, solar, road, and clearing, plain-language explanations of every risk flag, and a before-you-buy checklist tailored to this exact parcel.
At $23.70 the report costs less than a single soil test, and it covers the ground a preliminary site assessment would: what the land can support, what it will cost to develop, and which problems to confirm before you commit. On a five-figure or six-figure land purchase, that is a small price to catch a deal-breaker early.

The six readings
weighted, 100 pointsWater access and legal restrictions are the biggest deal-breakers, because no amount of effort fixes a parcel you cannot get water to or cannot legally live on. That is why they carry the most weight. Energy, hazard, food, and buildability then decide whether the land can support the life you want: enough sun to run solar, low enough flood and wildfire risk to sleep easy, soil and a growing season for a garden, and ground you can actually build on.
