There are many things to consider. Ground stability is one, but not likely to be an issue unless you are trying to build on a swamp or steep hillside. The most important thing to consider is your water supply, check with locals and get a feeling for quality and quantity of ground water that is in the area. A bad water well is the biggest pita that you will come across. Next. What is the road access like? If you have to build a road on a road allowance you have to build it to provincial specs and it is very expensive. Distance to power and gas mains is another potentially expensive exercise. Lastly if you are planning to build in any environmentally protected area, you may be restricted on the type of sewage system you install, ie. you may not be able to use a septic field which is the easiest, lowest maintenance system you can have.
Hope that helps. How many acres are you looking at?
