3 acres.
Half fenced for the goats and horse. Orchard with apple, peach, cherry (1 sweet, 2 sour), and nut trees. Gardens cover 4200 sf.
Aside from the house, the rest is unfortunately still lawn. Way too much time spent mowing. We will be converting the full 3 acres into something useful before my son graduates high school in 2 years. It's one thing for him to spend 4 hours mowing, quite another if I actually have to do it.

We have 60 acres in MO, and 5 acres in AR. We are currently living on the 5. Maybe just for a few years, maybe forever. We're turning it into a homestead just in case it's forever.

We live on 20 acres now, but when I retire in 822 days, Lord willing, we will sell out and relocate to our 42 acre plot near Texarkana Texas.
