If You won the lottery .............

you'd be surprised just how BIG acreage actually is! we were on an allotment that was in a 2 acre field and that was massive, you only NEED as much as you can actually USE otherwise its just wasted ground. for myself I would like a 2/3 detached cottage, very old, very rustic NOT modernised with a large walk in larder, very isolated, very rural, no near neighbours, maximum of half an acre to an acre of useable land, if it had a couple of acres of woodland that would be a bonus, if it had more than an acre of land but no woodland I would get lots of trees planted on it, I want a well or spring water, private water not on the mains,being rural it will probably have a septic tank if its really old it might only have a "soakaway", i'm not bothered if its not on mains electric as that will be the way we are all living post shtf. I would get a large workshop built, also a "solar"(potting) shed and a small polytunnel, raised beds for the veg and a fruit cage for the fruit bushes.
