RE: A night out

in Outdoors and more6 months ago

It's big, not sure how big but several hundred acres definitely. I've walked it all and it's all beautiful. The cool thing is that it has beauty in all seasons. There's no snow in this part of Australia but it's lush and green for seven months of the year and golden brown the rest, (heading that way now), has underground springs bubbling to the surface, a creek, a couple ponds...it's legit.

Oh yeah, that's awesome. I mean not that it wouldn't be great without the water, but the springs and creeks just take it to another level. I'd love to own a piece of land like that someday. I was actually just thinking about the land rush back in the 1800's or whenever it was and being able to stake your claim on a piece of land like that.

This property was handed down to the current owner from his father and it's worth a lot of money. I like how it's big, but reasonably easily maintained, not big enough to be a massive burden...and only fifteen minutes from everything one could ever need, just down the hill. It's pretty good indeed.

I was raised on land not dissimilar to this, rural, and it was an amazing place to be brought up. I'd like to move out further one if these days and this place would suit me fine.

We had the same thing in the 1800's, tracts of land being snapped up for next to nothing and much of it still owned by descendents too!

That is cool. Minus the natives being displaced for it to happen, but still. There's something about it that kind of stirs a spirit of exploration or something inside of oneself.
