We personally own about 11 acres of old terraced farm land, about 4 acres of "yard" and 7 acres of mixed pine/successional hardwood.... and feel pretty blessed to be able to provide a place in the semi-country for our kids to roam. I grew up in the coastal-country of FL and being able to provide a broadly similar experience for our kids is one of the reasons we uprooted and moved.
For me that is a very interesting and relevant point that is brought up, and I'm kinda surprised that when I first saw the thread I didn't have a similar thought. As a larger/extended family we have shared ownership of about 6k acres of revenue producing land.
While this is not life-changing money, it has been a long-term significant asset in providing on-going support to family members at various points in our lives. Beyond that, it is to me a very interesting and colorful aspect of our family history. It has also been an amazingly valuable tool to learn about aspects of land management/business most folks never experience.
However, even as a kid/young adult I learned pretty quickly not to discuss that resource with people because it has the tendency to drastically change peoples' perceptions and expectations about me.
