Having originally bought 7 acres with a wee shed and thought my dream had come true, I then quickly found I "needed" more and wanted to live on site - sold that after 4 years and bought the current 10 acres with a house - and promptly realised I needed more so rented 20 acres for 9 years until I lost the lease due to retirement sale just as I was getting made redundant
so had to pack everything off 30 acres into 10 so in short get more than you need rather than less or you'll regret it sooner than you think
50 with a house and buildings would be just ideal - and too dangerous
Someone needs to take this off the market before I start considering how bad it would be to move south of the border
I'm already considering selling up here and the main problem is what to do with unsold stock during/after a move so rental has a certain appeal..
