The monsoon gods have been very, very good to us. This is the first time in a week that the sun shined on these hills in New Mexico.
Looking east from the homestead.

We live on 7 acres and I can not see either of my immediate N/S neighbors from my house. The one South is a gem of a neighbor - very helpful and just all around one couldn't hope for a nicer neighbor. The one to the North I haven't talked to for more than 15 years. A #1 a*****e. So, it dependsGreat thread.
Hey here is a question for those of you who live on acreage: Do you have friendships with neighbors ? Just wonder if being further away helps or hurts neighbor relationships.
Great thread.

Hope you will report back!
I like a lot of the views posted. I think the PNW has the most beautiful scenery.
Not crazy about the area where everything is brown. We live on the water on the east coast, and were in the Smokie Mountains the last 10 days looking for a summer place. Here is the view from our cabin at 3500' elevation. And a waterfall on side of the road.
When my kids were younger our houses had great local schools but never any good views. The houses with the best views always had mediocre schools. Now they are grown up we decided to overcompensate. (View from our balcony in Northern Arizona)
Great thread.

I don't live permanently on my acreage but I am there a lot. The closest neighbor is over a mile away and then jumps to over 3 miles away plus. I have great relationships with all of them and have meet new friends. When I'm at the ranch I often will get a few ranchers that stop and we shoot the bull. I have been taken tomatoes every time I go now and put a bag of them in their mail boxes. Lol The one guy said he can't get any tomatoes to turn red this year.
One rancher called yesterday and was wondering about the trial they use to get to a field, that I will own shortly. He asked if they can still use it. I told him that nothing will change and you do what you have done for the last 100 years. It is all part of getting along and working together because we all need each other to make things work.
Love this thread, surprised not many golf course views
Man, all these mountain homes 3 hours from me are hitting $1+ million price tag. They were in the 700K a year ago.
I wondered about that too. (I knew a guy who lived on a course. He never had to buy shag balls.) Some courses are truly beautiful and I don't even play anymore so YMMV.
Ronstar, you have a beautiful place!
Yes. My parents were golfers and selected their home just off #14 tee box. Even the most vicious hook couldn't hit their place.The joy of having a golf course view fades away very quickly if you happen to be in the 'hit zone'. Just need to be very selective when choosing to make sure your golf course home isn't in that zone.
