Can you get a Mortgage on just land (plans to build later)?

My husband & I currently live in a mobile home. (Great starter home!) we want land & to build. We found property 4.1 acres, very close to where we want to live. The asking price is $28k. We want to buy the land (mortgage if possible) pay where we live off (3-5yrs) sell it & start building. In the 3-5 yrs we could get the land clear it's woods now.

My husband employer has its credit union that he has an account. Is that better?
