I'm looking at buying 25 acres that has six 3 phase power poles/lines running through it to build a home. Assuming I'm past any issues with them being an eyesore for me or any health issues, what should l be concerned about or questions I should be asking. The poles were installed in 2008 and are in great condition. I understand the easement is 10 ft on either side and nothing built under or above. Prime home sites on the parcel are at least 150 - 200 ft from the lines. Typically wouldn't be considering but given that land where I live is hard to find and very expensive, seeing it as a potential opportunity to get in at a good land basis if I can do my homework and get comfortable. Thanks.
