My five acres are mostly woods and part of a pond. I have an old farm house, all that was left when an existing farm was split and sold to my two neighbors years ago. I’ve re-done the house and am trying to clean up the woods and put in walking paths. I love the peace and quiet and the only drawbacks are the commute to work in the city and trying to give directions to friends on how to get there. But in the end it’s worth it.
I hear ya!
We completely gutted the house and rearranged stairs,bathrooms and removed/combined bedrooms.
The woods were so thick you could only get thru them by animal paths. Now a van can go most anywhere.
I lost over 40 trees to the Green Ash Borer in the last 3 years. I'll have firewood until I die!
