Me too, but the maintenance was driving me nuts. Mowing grass, getting
rid of blown over trees, removing fallen branches, having a broken
mower fixed again and again, etc. It's 6.5 acres, or 3 football fields
big, partially with trees, 2 bordering creeks. Sometimes we'd have a
flood that would bring in trees and branches from upstream. It never
stopped.

Excellent reason to move.  My last house was only a half acres but it
still took a good amount of time.  Not so difficult in your 40s but not
fun in your 70s. A couple of my friends have done the same in recent
years.

Yes, age is a factor. I wouldn't want to still be maintaining this in
5 years. And I also have other things to do. Half an acre can already
be a lot of work if it's not just a lawn.
