    I'll bump my own thread. What land size should someone buy if they are looking for a getaway/camp/hunt/shooting property. I am currently looking at 10-40 acres. Ideally looking for a place where the neighbors don't care what I do on my property

    To more easily visualize things, a square mile is 640 acres. In wooded mountainous terrain that may seem substantial but on relatively flat ground it's visually quite contained.

    35 acres or more allows you to drill a well. As water is essential to survival, to me, this - an a tappable water table under the property, or a working well already ON the property - defines the lower boundary.

    Any size allows you a well, over 35 can allow for multiple wells, or irrigation.
