[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up on a farm just like this. My parents worked FT but we had horses, cows, sheep, pigs, rabbits, dogs.

Thankfully, we were in a small New England town, and many families have the same set up. Vacations for possible because others helped each other out.

It was a lot of hard work, but my parents really loved it. We all had daily chores assigned to the animals or gardening.

Also want to comment that the attractive nuisance is a real thing. My parents were sued when a teen jumped over the fence to try bullfighting.

I’m the one who commented last page about attractive nuisance.  I grew up on a similar farm as you —we had about 30 acres, but eventually, all the surrounding farms were purchased by developers and my parents eventually stopped replacing livestock and sold.  We had people come into our pasture and try to ride our horses or feed them grass clippings, which could have killed them.  One guy even stocked our pond and intended to make it his fishing hangout without even once talking to my parents.

Obviously those are some pretty egregious things, but OP should definitely look at adjoining properties and see what they’re zoned for - you don’t want to buy your dream property only to have Joe’s Tire Recycling open next door.[/quote]
