The Lands Criteria

We have a long wish list of features for our future property! I've been told it's probably a bit unrealistic to think one parcel will have everything we want. Okay, first reality check. In view of that possibility, the desired features are now prioritized, as follows:

~ water- creek frontage, or spring (developed or not), or a well in place (drilled or dug).
~ not too steep- we have livestock paddocks and building placement to consider.
~ year-round access, but not necessarily a county maintained road, Tom loves playing in the dirt and snow.
~ a balanced mix of trees and meadow/pasture.
~ no more than a 30 minute drive from the local Kingdom Hall.
~ soil not too dry or sandy, but able to sustain pasture without irrigation.
~ at least 10 acres, maximum of 40.

I think that's all. See what I mean? Believe it or not, there are a few properties currently listed that meet all the above. Now it's a matter of narrowing it down to a 'short list' to take on our first land finding trip in May. Exciting times!
