What type of concerns should I be aware about ?
If I want to have land 'perched', how much is that cost ?
If I want to have a 'septic' design, how much is that cost ?
Is there a test that can be performed, to determine, how deep a Well
one has to dig ? Thinking some type of electronic sub-terrain sonar scanning could be performed ?
Thanks for your feedback !

As far as a well is concerned I don't think anyone can honestly tell you how deep you have to go. You drill until you get a minimum amount of gallons per minute. If you happen to hit an under ground spring you're in luck. Otherwise, keep drilling.
This is a good time to walk the land. With all this rain you can see if it holds the water or if there is good drainage.
If it stayed dry through this deluge of rain it will probably perk very well.
