There's a big difference between having a flat spot to build on and having land that is suitable (by code) to build on. That's what I was referring to.
I know what you were saying. Its good land for down here (soil wise) and building there would not have a code problem at all. The owner inherited the place from his father. He's 75 years old and at one time thought about building his retirement home here, but due to a son that he will have to care for the rest of his life, cannot leave the city and no longer wants to take care of the place down here.
