How far away is your property?

[Coyote]

I'd like to hear from those that have remote property that brought you to this board. How far away is it and how often do you get there? I'll start. I live in suburbia but have 100 acres in the country 37 miles away. Takes me about 42 minutes to get there, and I'm there just about every weekend, at least for the day. Heading there right after work today...

1 acre and house on the outskirts of town. 20 acres 9 miles from us. Get there a couple times a year to mow trails and do upkeep along highway. Hope to build a home there some day.

I live on 15 acres about 15 miles from New Orleans and have 160 acres inside the Ozark National Forest that I occasionally hunt on. I guess I will wind up putting the 160 acres for sale some day to someone who wants to live out in the wilderness with no chance of ever getting any neighbors.

We have 7 acres in upstate SC- 620 miles away We get up there a couple times a year, but plan on building and moving within 2 years or so. One of my requisites when we shopped for land is that it be big enough that we would HAVE to have a tractor! I like restoring old tractors, but I'll probably have one more modern one for chores. Next trip- April!

I live on 1.5 acres that is 4 miles outside of town.....and have another 34 acres for my Christmas tree farm that is another 9 miles away. During the Spring through Fall I am out there almost every weekend....and it never seems like work.

Some days when my day job is going especially poorly, I'll drive out there in my truck and eat my lunch in the woods sitting next to the creek. Seems to clear the mind and allows me to let go of my issues and bad attitude.
