What Shape is Your Property?

Here in Florida we have two rectangles , each consisting of 2.5 acres. They join back to back but only 1.25 overlaps, so it is the shape of a backward "Z" with a straight middle section, for a total of 5 acres. The other 2.5 acres is across the grass road. It is a rectangle. My new property in Tennessee is in the shape of the African continent with a rectangle on the southeast corner. Much more interesting. What shape is yours?

Mine is on a cul de sac dead end and it is shaped like a piece of pie with the point bitten off where the turnaround is.

Kind of a square. Kind of. With a big hollow in the middle and along one side, and a big hill along the back.

A rectangle standing up. Starts out flat with a creek you cross and a pond over on the left corner, goes up a big hill, where there is a flat spot with our house on it in the back of the property.

A long rectangle with a 'squiggle' for a driveway-we have a right of way leading up to the private road.

Super long, skinny rectangle (exactly 11 times longer than it is wide). HATE the proximity of the neighbors, LOVE being able to take a long, straight walk on my own land!
