[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m curious about the cost of maintaining a rural property. Let’s say a house, a barn, some chickens and a few hay fields. I know there’s a lot of variation but just for the equipment, building upkeep, landscaping etc?[/quote] The house is normal house cost, the barn is much cheaper since you only need to maintain it enough to not be structurally hazardous. Chickens depend on how many and how serious you are about them not being eaten by wild animals. Maybe $100/month? The hay fields you rent out to a real farmer for a small cash inflow. Equipment? Buy a small tractor for the ‘gram, a lawn mower, and a four wheeler for funsies. After the initial investment none of those are going to be that expensive. Assuming this is your full time residence, the maintenance costs aren’t crazy if you only do the above. The amount of work you decide to put into gardening and landscaping is up to you.[/quote]
