Sounds like a great idea. Hope it works out OK for you. Considering the property is already developed, half of your headaches are already out of the way.
You said the house burned down, but there is electric there. Is the electric turned on? When the house burned down, did the owners re-install the power to a new power box on a temporary pole, or is the power line just there and cut off, going nowhere now.
The reason I ask, is because most power companies require the electric line be fed into a building and the main breaker box is inside. Construction companies will put up a temporary pole, or a temporary board to attach a temporary breaker box to power their tools. When the house is built, the power line is re-routed inside the new house and the board or pole is taken down. Power companies will allow a temporary or pole for construction purposes, but they are just that, temporary permits.
The house I live in had a temporary board, and somehow, over time, it became permanent. The house has been here for over 45 years and somehow that board got grandfathered into the property. But new construction??? they have to switch the power line.
Anyway, just asking. Check everything out very well before committing to the purchase. You may have to build a small permanent shed or small garage to meet the requirements for the electric codes and such in your area.
Here's what mine looks like. This photo was taken before I switched that 30 amp RV box and to a 50-30-20 RV breaker box on the end a year and a half ago. The main electric line comes in through the round meter and then splits in that white painted box. One half of the split goes to the garage, the other half of the split goes to the house, and now a third line goes to the the new box for the 50 amp. Inside the house and the garage is a sub panel with all the individual breakers in it. The garage is wired for 50 amp -220 volt. The previous owner used the garage for welding.
