I feel like a poser here since I live in the city and not on a homestead, but I hope that will change soon. I'm looking at a 55 acre tract that is relatively remote, but a half hour from my daughter's house. Spring fed creek runs right through the middle of it.
My sisters and I own a 400 acre tree farm that is my current BOL. We have three tractors with implements which are currently mainly used for maintaining food plots for deer. The only problem with it is that it is brutal in summer and staying cool off grid would be difficult. Other than that it has a 1600' artesian well, over 350 acres of oaks and very fertile soil, lot's of game and is way off the beaten path. The fertility of the soil is such that the only challenge growing things is the pests, both of the furry and insects varieties.
The 55 acre tract I'm looking at is at a higher elevation and a good bit farther north, so summers won't be such a challenge. But other than a few food plots and dirt roads it is completely undeveloped while the tree farm is livable right now.
