I agree with all of the sentiments expressed. Single in my 60's with 40 acres means a huge amount of work. Jeff said it best with "I am in love with my land". And I dread the idea of this place going to the State of Texas when I pass with no heirs.
Have you thought about putting the land into a land trust? Where in East Texas. I moved from Houston. Just didn't realize that I needed chickens to eat the fire ants, so it was impossible to grow anything without being eaten.
