I'd bite the bullet and either get a zero turn or a compact size tractor with a belly mower (like a B series Kubota or similar).
ATV pull behinds are fine if it's a lot of straight path cutting with little obstacles to go around. I couldn't imagine trying to mow up around a house with trees with a pull behind.
Just my opinion, but you probably are better off buying something that is made for your primarily application, which would be mowing 3 acres; especially if you don't already own an ATV.
I'd also say that paying someone a couple hundred per month to mow it wouldn't be the worst deal if you aren't planning on building for a while. Your time is worth money too.
