15 acres is great, and the rest, that would be bonus! There's already a 'road' of sorts to the end of all the acres which continues onto someone elses property and then ends at a gas pipe line...if I could get permission to cross the other owners property and get to the pipe line, that would probably be a groomed area for miles--great for trails. We saw a beaver dam, deer prints, there's a little camp further off into the wooded area, plus a little building up on stilts for watching wildlife. Hubby said he would clear the perimeter of the property and I could trail around it, trail on the 'road' and eventually make more trails through the woods in addition to the pipeline trail. There's a structure -- it's a frame with a roof, and quite large. I think it's built to park a travel trailer under, anyways, we could turn it into a small barn and attach a dry lot so the horses could go in and out at will. We'd also build a run-in in the pasture. There's also a heated workshop/garage where I could store my tack. I think we'd have to build another structure to house hay because I'm afraid to store hay in the barn. Oh--you were talking about the 'cute house' .... yeah, it's cute. I'd want to paint and maybe do some flooring but it's nice. Honestly -- I prefer the house I live in now but it doesn't have the acres. I'm in love with the lifestyle I'd be getting, the land....just think--my horses home with me! Being with them daily, riding trails with them. A dream come true!!!!! And I know they'd be happier there than at the boarding barn, so that would make me happier too. Hubby and I have been hashing it out -- pros and cons -- I think we'll be making an offer soon. V
