My new yard

[hornadylnl]

I'm sure the surveyors lines are a little straighter than mine.


Just found out from the surveyor that the total lot is 27.187 acres. 10 of that is farm ground to the right and bottom of this picture. I can't wait to start building in it. I'll be deer hunting from a bedroom window.

Congrats! You are living the dream, man! I'd love to have property like that. So, where abouts is the new homestead?

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Have an area picked out for the house?

It it were me, I'd put it half-way between the road and ravine, probably out towards the southern edge to make building an access road/drive easier.

The house will be the red dot. The pole barn will be the yellow dot. Eventually the pond will be the blue area. About 2 acres or so.

Hunkered down away from the zombies! Lafayette area.

The drive is the green line.

Where is the pistol range going to be?

Where is the pistol range going to be?

Pistol? I've got almost 450 yards of depth. Te range willbe right next to the woods on the south side. I figure I'll put up a backstop made of railroad ties and fill it with dirt at the end and put fence posts up marking every 50 yards.

cool man congrats!

 

[Dogman]

Awesome site

That is really great. You also have room for an orchard and a survival garden.

 

[infidel]

Awesome! Find ya a mini truck to run around on yet?

I've got a buddy here in zombie-filled Lafayette that owns a Bob-cat, and he lets me borrow it!

Pm me if you need help. I'll see what we can figure out.

BTW- BEAUTIFUL place. I'm envious, to say the least!

Congratulations on this major step! You'll love being out on your own place.

Do you want dibs on the screen name 'Lovemywoods2'?

Already got that covered. I have a Deere 4120 with loader, backhoe, and a bunch of other attachments. I've been using it to clear out where I'm going to put my house and barn.

I probably won't get the mini truck until spring or so. Unless I come up on a deal I can't pass up.

Thanks for the compliments. I grew up a mile from this place and hated it then. Now we can't wait to get back.

Oh, that's too bad. I heard that the Colts are looking for a summer training camp location, and they're going to use eminent domain to take this acreage for their new facility. I think the pond location is right where they are going to build a swimming pool though, so maybe you can work out some kind of shared agreement for that space.



Seriously, that looks great. My dream is to own 100 acres, about 60 acres of woods and 40 acres of field, and build my house in the middle of it all. Congrats! You're living the dream. It makes me want to get out of my neighborhood and into the country. If it were me, I'd pick out a spot for an orchard and plant the trees now, especially if you want to plant nut trees. You'll appreciate them later.
