I have had a piece of property in the family for decades that is zoned for residential, but has never been built on.
I would like to build a small (~1000 sq ft) home on footings on the property shown in the picture. Most likely it will be closer to the road on the left. I know the soil on most of the property and the area is generally rocky (it is 1500 ft above sea level), but there is a section of the property that should be HgB and it runs along the road. From reading it seems this kind of soil is more likely to give me the depth needed to put in an underground septic tank (I shouldn't need more than 1000 gallons). Given the home will be raised from the ground which should give me the slope needed, is something like this doable in theory? Forking over $25-50k for a fancy system just does not make sense given what I want to build.
I know I need an engineer and soil samples... and hope to do this in the coming months.
Any thoughts?
Many thanks!
