Due diligence on Montgomery County land
Access first: confirm the Montgomery County parcel touches a public road, because the map alone won't show an easement.

Ask the county or town office in Germantown what permits a homesite would need, and ask the health department about septic.
Taxes and neighbors in Montgomery County
Check the annual property tax on the county record for a property near Englewood; it's a recurring cost that a listing may not mention. Click the parcels bordering land near Germantown; large neighboring holdings and recent splits both say something about the area.
What the map won't show
Mineral rights and timber rights near Englewood can be sold separately from the surface in some places, so ask the title company what a county deed includes. Ask neighbors near Amity about drainage, roads in winter and anything else a county listing won't mention.
