I’m in the process of buying 42 acres in the Virginia mountains that has a 6” high pressure natural gas transmission line on it. Basically other than a 25’ right of way that has to stay clear, it’s pretty much out of sight out of mind.
The gas company did say the “recommend” not building within 200’ of to stay out of the blast radius, but after some research the chance of an explosion is around 0.00008% or so…willing to take that risk. The gas line is near the best building sites on the property.
Would this still make you uneasy or would you care? We have been looking for land for over a year and have either not found enough, or it’s been extremely over budget so we don’t have that many options.
