Anyone familiar with buying land to build on??

I've stumbled across a great deal for a lakefront lot that is available in a vacation area that I am very interested in. The problem is, I have no experience at all in this space- what are some things I need to know before moving forward to purchase the land? I do know that is it has R1 zoning, but not sure where to start to find out about running electric/gas/septic etc. Can anyone provide some information on where to begin? If it matters, this is located in PA.

Thanks!!!
