Waking up to wildlife living all around and passing through the yard, shooting any time I want, and no city inspectors or HOA’s to tell us what to do. We maintain our home and grounds better than most do in the cities because we like it to look nice. Yep, land is high but when we bought this place we didn’t think we could afford it, but income typically always goes up while the mortgage stays the same. If one is going to buy 40-80 acres, you have to put it to work for you. Lease part out for cattle, rent horse pasture, or allow limited farming if the land is capable. Use the rest for shooting, hunting, atv riding or whatever. The .gov has lots of cost share programs for fencing, pond building etc. Buddy bought the 15 acres behind his house that came up for sale. The 10 cows he keeps on it and the calves they produce and sell almost make his annual payment.</blockquote>
