[QUOTE="sh00ter, post: 3904828, member: 24531"] If you were going to buy 5-10 acres to eventually live on, how would you determine how much woods to have? I see a lot of nice "open" properties with a few nice older single trees, and then I see some about half & half, and some not cleared at all. A buddy of mine out by Luther has 30 acres and it is about 95% thicker woods with trails through it and he cleared just enough to build the shop and the animal pens, etc, but left a lot of trees so you don't see much sky. I found one piece of property with about the front 30% cleared and the back 70% woods with trails so the back property line was still accessible. And then I've seen some pieces with woods all the way to the road so thick you could not even walk into them. Is there a formula for what works best for a given scenario? Lets just say 5 acres to make it simple with plenty of woods in the area even not on that property...How much of it would you want to be naturally open or cleared if necessary?No plans for cows, maybe, a few pigs or goats at most, maybe none.
