We were going to do that and even have about 22 acres just 10 minutes away. However, life intervened, so we are staying put here on one acre.
If we ever get any extra money, I’d like to investigate buying some of the lots behind us. There’s about 4 acres that has no buildings on it, and would give us quite a bit of space for attractive plantings.
I keep thinking that we should plant some native trees on the 22 acres - like paw paws, persimmons, etc. things that wouldn’t need lots of cultivating, but would still have some edible produce.
From your lips to God’s ears concerning the surrounding land up there. Sounds like a plan__ I vote yes— FWIW.
