Minimum acreage recommended? I'd like to have quite a few acres, but mostly I don't want to see another house from my house. 10 acres? 20? More? Maybe just 5???
Water: I'd like year-round running water, preferably clear. A pond or lake might be nice. A well. I would accept less land if it had access to water.
Mix of forest and pasture.
Farmhouse.
I'd like to be off the beaten path. I had a great uncle who had an awesome farm that is no longer in the family. His gravel road to his house accessed another gravel road, which accessed a two lane paved road. I always thought having a gravel road to get to my driveway would be nice. When I'm at my place, I would want peace...which means no road noise if possible.
