That is the big question. J and I are both on the fence about this one. We had previously decided not to buy any more land unless it touched something we already owned or was on the way to something we owned.
Well, this 64 acres came up for sale and it is about 1/4 mile off the path between two of our farms.
It all lays fairly well. They just made the hay off of it and the grass is not too bad either.
And most of the fences are in usable condition.
It doesn't have good running water though. There is a well and two automatic waterers. J couldn't help himself and had to pull the grass up that was growing underneath it.
And it has access to a spring one the neighbor's land. There is not much water coming into the spring box though.
I love the neighbor's gazebo with the satellite dish top and what looks like a wheelbarrow fire pit.
The working pens need some work.
But overall, a pretty nice place. So we have to decide if we are going to be happy with what we have, or go a little bit outside our perimeters and buy more work for ourselves.
That is a tough call. The land looks good from the pictures.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the "redneck" gazebo. At first glance it looks quaint.
ReplyDeleteAt a time such as this, Mr Shoes & I would ask ourselves, "Do we need more pastureland? What is the goal?"
ReplyDeleteAre you maybe hoping your kids will move onto some land that you own?
I think that gazebo is awesome!
