Acre and a half in the country, only about an acre is in my fences and mow-able. Pay a guy $50 every 2 weeks in the summer to mow and edge it. Recently was given a riding mower and my son is showing interest, so I've been teaching him how to chase snakes
Will eventually end up with Mom's place - 5.5 acres, but mostly wooded. Currently MASSIVE garden that is always under going changes. When it becomes mine, the citrus, plums and peaches will stay but the pretty garden spots will be redone one last time to low-maintenance stuff - she currently spends 8-10 hours a week on taking care of it, but it is worth it.
A shot from next door neighbors house - the pond you can see the edge of is 4-5 acres and produced some big bass (14lbs 13oz is record). Went dry a few years ago but has been restocked and is on the way back. About 10 feet deep in middle.
