Hah, lived on and developed several 5 acre lots all my adult life, (since the late 80's) and have learned a thing or three over the last 15,000 days of land ownership.....

My thoughts?:

1) Get the right size tool for the job. (anything from a cordless weed-eater to a Kubota Tractor.....)

2) Plan for low maintenance. Everyone's "Low" is different.

3) Better Living through Chemical Warfare. Roundup and Crossbow are your friend for Grasses and Woody-Stem Nuisances.

4) Buy all the land you can cuz they aren't going to make any more of it.

5) For any outbuilding, shop, barn, or structure.........if you're going to build a roof, build a TALL roof. Don't cheap out, the rest is only siding. Max out your building site dimensionally. Show me someone that has ever said "I built too big of a shop..........." yea right.

6) Everybodies Wallet is Grown Differently. Some swing their own hammer. Some get a blister writing a check.

and my final words of wisdom......

ANYTHING in Life comes down to Three Things.

1) Time
2) Money
3) Personal Priorities.

Bummer typically you can only pick 2 out of the 3.

and of course you have to dream it, before you can do it.........

Hah, my nearest neighbor is 600-700 feet away through thick trees and he complains my shop stereo is too loud.........yup. They Walk Amongst Us.
