Thanks for the feedback! Sharp eyes Hans, the NW corner is indeed open, the previous owners had graded that entire corner flat in anticipation of building a house there. Currently, it's been overrun with small pines which I'm leaving in place to prevent erosion and invasive species until I figure out what I want to build, and where. There is also a small decrepit horse shelter towards the northeast corner. There is no current water source on the land except for a small stream running along the southern boundary. It is too small and too far down in a gully to be of much use, so my plan is to drill a well as one of the first major projects. I'm thinking of locating it up somewhere along the northeastern boundary to allow for gravity feeding to most of the rest of the property. Bash, good idea with the windbreaks, I was thinking of putting in some taller-growing fruit and nut trees like pecans and persimmons along the northern edge, as this is where most of my wind comes from. Thanks very much for the feedback everyone, keep the great ideas coming!
