An acre 10 foot deep sounds like a small lake-not a stock tank.LOL
Holy Moly. You can irrigate, grow fish, and swim to cool off/rinse off. I’d say you got a real good area for living off the land.
We are only using our 1 acre lot that has a house and garage taking up part of the space. Had intentions of building a house on the 25 acres we bought, but the economy changed and the state took about 3 acres for a road, and destroyed all the road frontage access we had, so we decided to just stay put.
The land is close enough though that we could do something with it. We have talked about selling half of it, and using the money to repair our rental/vacation property on the western side of the state, build a garden shed, and/or develop the remaining acreage to make some money, or increase our food supply.
So much to do, and so little time to get it done.
Yup, I have just over 60 acres, but it is a little too far to visit on a regular basis. I grew up there and moved close to Austin when I got a job here in 73. Now that I am retired, I’d like to do something with that land. I need to plant a large garden, but would need a deer proof fence.
