OP here.

Wow, thank you for the great advice! You've been very helpful :-)

Yes, there are woods on about a third of the property, and on satellite view and photos/videos, this and neighboring properties look well-maintained. I dug into the Master Plan for that area and apparently the residents and powers that be wish to keep their area rural and not too developed. It's designated a conservation area type IV, which is the least developed (even though it's not that far from DC). I agree with PPs about keeping a portion of the property wild.

Adding a question: I've heard of people keeping a few goats or sheep, as pets, but also to keep their lawns "self-mowed" and free of encroaching jungle. There is a stable and field on the property already. What do you guys think? Is this crazy? Maybe I could just rent them when I need to. I know a couple of people who do that.

Is the field separate from the main house? How big of an area is it? Is it attached to a neighbor’s property/part of a larger field?[/quote]
Typically it's yours and yours alone. We have a small farm as a getaway with septic. Be [i]very [/i]thoughtful of what goes down the drain. The more stuff you send down that the bacteria can't digest, the more often you'll have to get it pumped out.

We feed it bacteria (RidX) a couple times a year. Not sure it makes a difference.[/quote]
