Fortunately, we're on fairly flat land. There are a couple of other concerns though, the more I stare at their property. One, the section they use for their driveway can get extremely muddy when it rains. I'm also pretty sure they don't haul their trash to the dump and instead, just burn it in...

Nope, no fencing exists on either mine or theirs, so that's one a hefty expense right off the bat to make it usable. It's not a deal breaker though since I'd have the flexibility to make the pastures what I want. I *am* starting to second guess my thought for having the barn-thing on the other...

When we were looking, we weren't told that trailers were impossible, just DIFFICULT. I *think* I can go into this with the intention of it just being a land loan. The people who own the property, they are actually the son/daughter in law of the family that built the house that we're living in. I...

There's also a parcel of 39 acres behind us that I'm frothing at the mouth over, but that's WAY more out of reach at this point. The current owner uses it for timber and that's just a hefty chunk of money to throw down for it. I'm hoping maybe I can fit that one into the 10 year plan lol. I may...

The house in town has only been listed for about a month and I just received my first offer for it on Monday. I sent my counter back to them last night and hopefully it'll be confirmed soon. The soonest we'll be able to close with their loan type will be the end of February. Hopefully there...

Yes, I agree that most of my concerns are ancillary :) I have no idea what else I'm looking at in regards to all the extra headaches and legwork that would be required to make use of that extra acreage in how I want to use it. The house we currently live in is exclusively in my husband's name...

Yes, we like the house we are in, very much. I was hoping we wouldn't have to relocate power on the other property. Hoping being the operative word :) We are not planning on having cows. Maybe 4-5 Nigerian Dwarf goats, around 8 chickens or so, and at MOST, 4 equines. I was originally...

I could sit and stare at the overhead image for hours, trying to play out different locations for various things. For instance, I want to plant some more trees street side, because when one of the neighbors drives up his road, the lights flash into the house. I thought about putting the goats in...

My thoughts with noting the septic being in place is for the off chance of installing a toilet in the barn-thing at some point. Truthfully, I really only want to build a run in with enough room for about 4 horses, tops, with a spare room to hold tack and other supplies. If we wanted to add a...

It's a single wide and they are currently living in it. I don't want the trailer at all. I want to consume as much of the open area as possible for pasture and put a little barn type structure near where the trailer currently is so I can make use of the utilities that are already existing. It...

Short story, we just purchased a property with a little over 4 acres. Half of that is wooded so my husband can hunt. I just did some guesstimates recently and discovered that we really only have about 1 acre left for one pasture, and another half acre in the front of the house (where a portion...

I'm still having problems with the sites on this particular platform from my computer. Seems to be no problem from my phone though, just fyi. I'm not sure what is misbehaving. Homesteader Wife, no idea on the tractor! This was actually one that was left in the yard on one of the properties we...

I just tested trying to access TEG after BYH gave up on me and couldn't get there either, even though that was my first ever visit. I'm posting from my phone now and will see if the problem repeats itself since I'm on the same connection.

It's likely ISP related, but I'm not sure how. I can browse fine from my phone, but here on my computer at home, I can only get about 1 or 2 clicks in and the connection resets and refuses to load the page for a while. I'm on satellite internet, so I know it likes to migrate my location around...

I hope something can be figured out too! It takes so long to make a post go through, I usually just give up. I can't even browse the forum past about 3 clicks either :( I'm already using an ad blocker and am currently using Chrome. I have the same problem in Firefox though, so I don't think...

I'm having an incredibly difficult time interacting with the forum as the connection seems to reset often and the pages quit loading for me, even though I can continue to browse the rest of the internet. I'll keep trying, but there's something wrong. Even trying to post this reply...it doesn't...

Hello! After many years of living in the suburbs, my husband and I just recently moved out to the "boonies." We have 4 acres and big dreams. Our goals are to have some chickens, goats, donkeys, and horses, but they'll be small steps towards each. We still have our other home to sell, a chicken...
