The property is bank owned and a great house in a desirable neighborhood. All the homes are horse properties( or horsepower property in my case, when the shop is built) mountain views and great motorcycle riding right out my front door. I'm stealing this house so the bank won't pay for anything,any repairs are coming qout of my pocket.
you seem to love this property and seem to be getting good deal on it, I would not let the septic system worry you

another thing to look at is if there is septic reserve on the property (meaning enough virgin property to install more drainage down the road if need be)

This is a big issue in my area with much older houses that have had repairs made to the system and now there is no more room for addition fields
unfortunately this is not disclosed to new buyers and they get stuck when it fails
