I think hubby and I walked most of the boundaries, but the lazy real estate agent was "out of the office" both of the weekends we wanted to view the property - once by ourselves and once with my father-in-law. The first time we walked forever and I don't think we covered 70% of the property. The second time we walked it, with my FIL, we walked a different area so I think between those two walks we covered 90% of it, LOL! The property will be surveyed before closing in February, so we'll know exact boundaries then.

Our plans are to leave all the woods in place and add our touches to the areas that were previously farmed, the rest stays natural. About five acres at the bottom is floodplain so we won't do anything there. Somewhere down in the floodplain is the foundation of an old dance hall and speakeasy, we didn't start to look for that yet. Here is a great view of the large pasture taken from the high ridge. My plans for that is to raise organic sheep for fiber and meat on about 10 acres, then the rest will be hayed and a few acres will be returned to native prairie.
