We are looking at buying a steading to convert and the farmer had said if we bought the steading then they'd be happy to sell us as much or as little land as we want either at the same time when we buy the steading or in the future.
We'd be looking at wanting summer and winter paddocks for 2/3 horses, space for stables and sand school, field to grow hay for the horses and a metal barn to store it in, space for growing fruit and veg and maybe a couple of piglets for the freezer each year.
How many acres would we be looking at needing for this?
