Access, flood, zoning and utilities
Access first: confirm the Christian County parcel touches a public road, and read the deed for any access easement.

Ask the county or town office in Bulpitt about zoning, minimum lot size and splits, and ask the health department about septic.
Carrying costs for land near Assumption
