We have 6.46 acres with a 2400 sq ft home, oversized 2 car detached garage, a 1200 sq ft shop/2 bedroom, bath, kitchen living area plus a small open shed on what i call my north 40! Not sure of the size of my pond.
I will tell you this, the mowing takes me about 5 hours with a Zero Turn, 4x4 Kubota tractor with a shredder and a 4 wheeler pulling a Swisher Trail mower. This does not include the 2 "neatly kept" yards my wife mows.
We have a fence on our west side (neighbor has goats) and about half of the north side (that neighbor has a horse) but no fences on the east or north side.
We bought this place in Jan 2020 and it is WAY more that what we needed, but it was everything we wanted plus more! We have the homestead exemption on the 1 acre for the house/garage and the over 65 exemption. Being 69, this is all i want, especially if I have to mow it.
In this county I think you have to have 10 acres for a wildlife exemption.
Would I want more land, yes as long as i do not have to mow it!
