How many of you here own your own land and how much do you own?

I just bought a "starter" property of 9 acres.

If after we get the house built the 6 acres beside it is still available, I will buy it too.

Nothing wrong with that, pretty much what I'm trying to do.

We have 12 acres in south Liberty county that we bought 18 years ago/ It was owner financed for 10 years at 10%.

Closing on 17 acres of good ag property in Bandera county this week. Made the 94 year old seller a cash offer at 15% below his asking price. One of the best deals I have ever made. The truck and tractor is loaded and we are heading to Bandera in the morning.

you are working my plan

I've got my eye on the adjoining 15 just to keep someone else from buying it.
The neighbor to my west couldn't be better, I just don't like the idea of the unknown on the other side.....

Two years' time of blood n sweat. It didnt happened overnight! I dont have magic wand in my arsenal.

You are right about expenses, time, gas, and all the advils!

Tractor with front loader and bush-hog are on my next list of purchase. Then I can do everything! Mostly by hand, chainsaw, my truck and tow straps! Lol

lol

I lasted two weeks on the chainsaw.... made a little progress on about an acre of it.

it's hard to install a culvert with a chainsaw.

a little orange paint solved most of those problems
call Chad up at Taylor Equipment - that's where I bought.....

bought 23.76 acres in Burnet County 10 years ago. Have hunted this for about 17-18 years. No trophys off it but usually fills the freezer with the last 2 being exceptions. The drought has taken its toll the last 2 years but I started taking water out there this year so hopefully it will keep a few deer on the property!

Inherited 90 acres in North central DeWitt County 7 miles from Cuero.

Wife & I bought 16.5 acres right in the middle of the hill country. The taxes for land that small aren't terrible but we've definitely been in money spending mode since we bought it last year...bought a trailer to stay in, working on getting our ag by beekeeping, planning a cabin build, well, electric, etc. but I guess that's the price you pay for something you love.

[Grayson]

Started with 0.34 acres 8 years ago. Swapping that for 0.36 acres this week. If my plan holds up and no unexpected expenses, I might hit a cool acre before I die.

1 acre and home....free and clear, would like to own my own piece of hunting land

[Mike D]

This panoramic picture thingy on the iPhone is pretty cool.

[Hart8]

2 Acres here...Seems like all I do is trim trees,bushes,and mow.
Apartment/city dwelling is highly underrated in my opinion!

[Carbon Poison]

right at 9,490 sq feet. I miss the house and 7 acres we sold.

We're on pretty much the same plan!

Nice! What did you end up getting the 17 acres for in Bandera? That's nice country there. You plan on hunting this piece.
