15 acres plus the approximate amount over my grave 4x8x6.Which if the Lord returns before I need the grave,I'm trying my best to not need it, till He comes back,,you folks that ain't saved when he comes back can have it,with no charge.
The fifteen acres are already promised to any of my heathen family members, that don't get saved.But, If they DO, you folks can divide them up amongst yourselves.
But,in my humble opinion,you would enjoy the trip with us much more,plus your ticket has already been bought and if you decide to go,that grave with your name on it,and that land you own listed down at the tax office,,can be left to some of them hardheaded heathens in your own family that won't listen to you, or even believe you going on a trip.Bet when they start paying taxes on that land, they will believe it ,and wish theda went on the trip too.lol eb

Mine's kind of a problem. The homestead itself is 9 acres ... but we own 72 acres about 15 miles up the road. If I could pick up the house, garage, and outbuildings and move 'em up the road and plop 'em on the 72 acres that would be awesome!

We have 29 acres. 5 to 6 are in woods and about 20 acres in pasture. The rest is around the house and barns. We could do what we do on less.

80 acres for me and the family. Plenty of woods, rocks, gulleys, ravines, copperheads, acorns, and coyotes. Not nearly enough open ground for grazing my cows and sheep.

We have one acre at the house.
We have 5 more out of town, but due to my ill health I have never done much with it.

My pieces
I have a little under 1/4 acre in town and 14.81 acres about 100 miles from it. The goal is to get to the big piece in the near future. The wife would rather it be the far future, but I am looking for ways right now to get myself out of the rat race and start a better life on the land.
The big piece is broken up about 7 acres of Hickory and a few old Oaks, and the rest is rolling hills and bottom of a valley.
Luckily the top of the hill by the trees has some beautiful points overlooking the valley where the house will eventually go.
I am looking at a 9 acre piece adjoining and if I can get the owner (developer) to agree to a lower per acre price, I may be getting that as well.
As has been said here many times, they aren't making any more of it and even if I don't develop anything on all of it, at least it will belong to the family.

I've got 23 acres - 20 in hayfield, the rest as homestead. It's a very old place so I have good irrigation rights, but still flood irrigating. That's supposed to change next summer, as they put all the ditches in pipe and I can go to gated pipe.

Just about 40 acres. We first purchased the house and 20, then a few years later to keep people from building close by we bought the nearly 20 next to us.

We only have a little more than 3
square kilometers that is. Almost all is either virgin forest, tree plantations or home sites. That would be about 786 acres for those who want it in acres.
We continue to add to it, but it is our business. And no, I don't do it all!

We have a little over 4 here at the house and another 105 somewhere else. Like someone already said, we wish I could move the house and barn etc to the other place and live there.
