The best neighbors are no neighbors. More is better.

I bought 20 acres in Montana a while back, thinking it was enough for me to put a cabin on and hunt. There are a few other 20 acre parcels around me, then some state land, and three cattle ranches of tens of thousands of acres surround all of it. The land is mostly flat and has a nice number of trees.

At first, it was plenty of space. Now, other folks are setting up homes on their 20 acre lots and I'm starting to feel the need to look for another place. I tried to buy the 20 acres next to me but the owner isn't selling and I'm thinking that 100 acres is the minimum for my next place, hopefully with no one else putting up a cabin or home nearby. '

I'm anti-social and have no interest in talking to others, but the guys who live on the other 20 acres lots seem to be talkative and are always stopping by. I know that's considered friendly in most places, but I just want to be in the woods and not have anyone talking or dropping by. If I liked company, the 20 acres would be more than enough.

Sounds almost like heaven. It's a mile from the gate at the road to our house and that's to close for my liking.

10 acres? Ok but house has to be in the middle ,got to be far enough away from the neighbors so you can't hear them fugg or fight. You know I wouldn't sh*t you. MB

We live on 40. 30 years ago, we had one neighbor within a 1 mile radius. Now, we have seven. The nearest is still nearly a mile away but the truth is, we might as well live in town. The elk population is 20% of what it was, same with white tail deer. I bought this place because, at the time, it was semi remote. If I had a chance at ten acres surrounded by public land, I'd be interested. Otherwise, I'd be as happy in a small town. GD

Oops. Double tap. GD

Like someone else mentioned, it might be too small for a range, but that depends on the neighbors.

I hunted with a guy that always said,I dont want all the land I just want is hooked to mine. When he passed 6 years ago his kids were amazed at what he had and pissed it all away. More is better. Good luck,which ever way ya go make it yours.

Heaven and south Texas, well no.

100 acres was just right for about 30 years. Then one azzole bought a piece of property up the road a little. All the neighbors hate him with a passion! Now I wish I had 500 and lived right in the middle of it. Kinda like DeFugg moving in across the street!

Get the most you can. How it's located matters a lot.

Shannon County Missouri.

Get me 1000 acres there someday.


Run me some July hounds......

Haha!

Them July hounds any good at runnin' March hares?

We have 46 acres and that was plenty until the neighbor guy passed and his wife sub divided her 90 acres. Now we have at least 4 new neighbors on 7 acre plots. Good fences make for good neighbors. I have enough room to sight in rifles as long as they can tolerate the noise. If not screw them we have been there since 1962. We were there first.

kwg

To my knowledge....they aint never caught one.

So's I cant say!

Polk county. Hard decision to make, wife and I both like the house. We are only going to have one shot at doing it. Will not be the time or money to make a mistake and start over again... I as well would love 200+ acres, but the money is not there.

Get after it then.

Good luck.
