I may have an opprotunity to purchase a 60.65 acre building lot in a rural subdivision. I currently own a 6.5 acre lot that I was planning on building on soon, a large custom home builder purchased the entire 34 lot subdivision consisting of home sites ranging form 5 to 20 acres with the one 60.65 acre site. He would like my lot and has expressed a willingness to swap the large lot is only that big because it does not perk well and 4 lots had to be combined to get a good perc. I currently live on 6 acres and very much enjoy the country life. My question how much work is involved in maintaining such a peice of property, I know nothing about livestock (cows, horses, etc) but they are allowed in the developement alpacas too. There is a small spring that runs through the property it looks as though I could build the house close to it or build a driveway over it and build further back. The land is a rolling pasture very few tress, and a small pond. I think I could get a neighbor friend of mine to cut the bulk of it in hay. This is a huge peice of land for me but I really like it /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gifI just don't want to get in over my head. My better half really likes the smaller lot much better, but concedes that the house is her major contention and if I really wanted the large peice she would give her blessings, you get the picture I don't want to hear "I told you so" /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif
Please give me your thoughts especially those of you have in excess of 50 acres.
