That layout is similar to ours. We have an acre beyond a natural treeline that has been a garden area that we share with a neighbor. We will probably leave it that way but put some gates to allow some occasional grazing.
Just put in an offer for the land next door!

Just realized how much work it will be to keep the roadside fenceline mowed....
Electric or gas weedwackers suck! We always break them some magical way....

You are going to be getting your property when we have to be out of our house.

...I'm sorry, TAH. 
Do you want to camp out on the acres for a bit? Barn has rats, so that's no fun...
Tractors are 50k? Idk.
Oh, now with this land, my fleeting thought/dream of possibly breeding endangered Corolla Horses may come true. Gotta figure out the track system and so much more before then.

Thank you for your offer. The problem is that we are almost 2000 miles away.

We bought a 2320 Kubota tractor with front end bucket, bush hog, disc, box blade, forks that clamp to the bucket, and a trailer, second hand, for $13,500. It was a deal and we jumped on it. It is a blessing to have this tractor. If you look around, you can find good deals. Start looking on craigslist and look out of state. It sounds like things are pricey where you live. Make sure you buy a diesel 4 wheel drive. Our tractor won't handle round bales, so if that is critical to you, make sure you get one big enough to pick up round bales. Start doing your research! Many tractor companies offer package prices for the tractor, implements and a trailer to haul it on, so look at new too.

Yep - deals can be found. We got a similar deal to what Bay got...trailer, tractor, front end loader, hay forks, mower, three sizes of post hole augers, a turning plow... so much we almost never got it all on the trailer. We paid a bit more than Bay paid, but I think our tractor is bigger because it does move round bales. If you get one you will absolutely wonder how you EVER got on without one.
