I would recommend keeping the weeds and just pulling the grass. I would say weeds are our friends in soil management and fertility. If there was a type of weed that hurts you physically (like poison ivy or something really thorny you don't like) or is so rampant that you can't limit it with chopping & dropping (free green manure), then I would address those individually. Otherwise, I would just put the stuff in that you want and support those. You can phase unwanted plants (weeds) out by improving the soil past their preferred conditions over time, mulching and/or introducing a wanted rampant plant that can out compete the unwanted one. If something is really right on top of or in the spot you want then I would just remove as necessary. Again, leaving them on top like mulch to break down and support your soil further. Nature is providing us with a free polyculture and neglected soil management system, among other benefits.

Hey Greg, unfortunately they are wanting to sell it all together.

Though, let me give a little update to everyone.

They seem to be holding on to it for the time being and there was some mention of raising the price way up to double or so. This whole area has inflated prices right now. I'm not really sure what they are doing with it. The realtor they talked to said $40,000 per acre isn't out of the question and things have been sold for more around here. If anyone still wants to go all in on that price it will still hold it's value, if not go up. This whole area is hot right now though I've heard the market in austin is not like it was so maybe it will chill out for a bit. I will update when I know more info. that is solid. Thank you again for the replies and interest.

Hey I just wanted to reiterate that I do have the contact info. from my neighbor and anyone that is seriously interested can pm me for the details.

I just heard that there is a family interested in the land. I would like some of you permies families or people to really consider it if you're looking in the hill country.

Again, it has a lot of potential. Great land and area. Great views, water and neighbors. Lots of infrastructure and earthworks already in place. Ideal privacy setup if you ask me.

Let me know if you are interested and if there is anything else I can help with. THANKS!

The high points of the land are at the top right, middle right, and bottom right. There is a nice working corral and funnel and whatnot in the top right corner of the picture. The pond at the bottom (top left of picture) is runoff from both of our properties. There is a well recently drilled down there. Another well is up closer to the big pond (where the windmill is also) and I'm not sure where the other one is right now. Water is great in this area. There are many source springs in this area for the watershed.

I talked to the owner the other day. Anyone who is really serious can pm me for the contact info.. I will get back to you asap. Thanks

Attached is an aerial picture of it. The road access is from the area on the top left.

He wants 2,500,000$ for 100+ acres of hill country?

That is correct. This area's prices have gone way up recently. It's really nice land though, so the value is there. Plus all the improvements.

Hey everyone, sorry for the slow responses. I live without internet and country time can sure fly sometimes.

I looked at some of the land as we were going to buy a piece of it but it fell through as they seem to want to just sell the whole thing once. It has a very nice pond on there with fish and at least one windmill pump near by, 2 or 3 wells, some good slope and other good qualities. Lots of potential. There is a few interested people already from the wine industry but nothing serious or concrete yet as far as I know.

Also, just to reiterate, I'm looking for neighbors interested in permaculture and not turning next door into the city. So people without an interest in consistent light pollution or chemical pollution or wireless signals and power line infrastructure (at least anywhere near us).

I will try and check this and private messages more often.

THANKS

Yes, last I checked that was what they are asking.
