[QUOTE="OkieJoe72, post: 3904915, member: 48447"] Don’t think there’s any kind of formula for such a question. It’s a matter of personal preference, but I would suggest putting some serious thought in how you would like to use the land. If you’re simply wanting privacy, a small acreage with a lot of trees is desirable. If you want a garden and other things to be more self sustainable, a heavily wooded property is probably not the best option. Even with 5 acres, a large amount of food can be produced. Other things to consider would be the amount of desired sunshine for the home. Heavily wooded areas can help with cooling costs in the summer, but it can also increase your heating costs in the winter. One last thing, don’t forget about all the leaves if you decide on a wooded property. Again, it’s personal preference. [/QUOTE]
