Um, I have more than 20 acres. Years ago, which seems like yesterday, I started with two adjoining pieces, 2 acres and 1 acre. Then I bought 17 more surrounding me. Then I bought another adjoining 20. Most recently the big addition was another 114 adjoining acreage. I have a problem with neighbors being too close, and buy what comes available if at all possible to keep people out of my yard. I don't sound very neighborly, do I! The one thing that isn't being made anymore is land and property, I figure it's never a bad investment. The last 114 we bought has increased by about 25% in just a few years time. It has the pond and wooded area, a nice place to find some peaceful times. Sigh...
Good luck with your house search and selling. It can be pretty exciting!
