How many acres do you own?

[Mtsoxfan]

If you feel like sharing, thanks, just to get to know more about fellow TBN ers. If you feel this is none of my business, please do not respond.
I'm not a farmer, just a guy in Upper VT who retired and needed a tractor to help around the house. I own 10 acres, 7 wooded. Even with such a small property, I can understand why people have so many tractors. I'd like another.
I imagine answers will reveal hundreds to thousands for some of you.
Happy Easter to all who celebrate...

1/4 acre……………..hopefully a lot more someday.

 

[RjCorazza]

We have 6 acres and a small stream in a semi rural area of Maryland.

 

[Sprinkler Fitter]

6-1/4 acres mostly wooded some wetland in central Minnesota.

 

[duffer]

Bought 10+, had it all cleared, planted grass on all 10+. After 5 years of mowing for 6+ hours at a time, got tired of it, and sold off 5 acres.

Still have all the enjoyment and privacy needed with the 5, and 3¼ hours less mowing each week.

Heaven.

We downsized at retirement, now we have 17 ac

I find the right 5 acres just about perfect...

Not counting investment property I'm down to 20 and take care of another 20 of family property...

25 here in the Peoples Republic of Mass

 

[Doorman63]

12 and 1/2-mixed woods/fields and some creeks.

And a suburban lot-1/4 acreish

 

[steve tym]

56, mostly wooded.

 

[Too many Kubotas]

A little over 30. About enough to create some distance to the neighbors...which are only to the west and south anyway.

Could buy another 15 or so from a neighbor, but that property is in bad shape. It would take a couple of years to get the irrigation to work correctly, and get rid of the weeds and prairie dogs.

I'm still not quite done getting everything right on what I have.

 

[Complete Turf Care]

I have about 30 acres. I maintain about 2.5 where my house and shop are, and the rest is rented to a cattle farmer for hay production.
I own 5 tractors, but they are used in my business, not to maintain my property.

 

[Southernspeed]

60 but just about to close on selling some of it with the house and barns, building a house on the remainder. Time to downsize!

 

[tacticalturnip]

None; however I live on just under two. I used to have two acres of my own, but I sold it before COVID artificially inflated the market.

 

[Eagle1]

92 with 12 ac of pond about 10 in campground, 3 homes for family. The rest is a mix of woods and pasture for our cattle. Lots of fencing to be done this year, as we close the campground and add pasture and space for different critters (pigs, goats) and more poultry.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

8 acres, 90% cleared. We till and farm more each year. We are looking for 25+ to retire on soon.

 

[grsthegreat]

30 acres. 10 in pasture, 20 treed. Lots of continuous work………

 

[Citydude]

23 in the Blackhills of South Dakota. Heavily forested in aspen, birch and ponderosa pine.

Good Evening mtsoxfan,
About 7 or 8 acres of field and the rest wooded ! That keeps the wood stove running ! I bought it at 50 and thought 10 acres was not enough, but at 72 it’s plenty to take care of ! We have plenty of privacy and beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding mountains !

20 acres: 8 wooded, 12 grassland.
