“Hobby Farm” vs. “Farm Farm”
When a home on a large lot somewhere in the ‘burbs doesn’t scratch your itch, what’s next?
There’s alway a cabin up north (it IS Minnesota, after all).
Other alternatives include a vacation timeshare, a 2nd home in another part of the country, or simply increased travel.
But, for people who have the means, a green thumb (imagined or not), and love animals, a hobby farm might better fit the bill.
Exactly what’s that?
Here are my five criteria:
–Size: 5-20 acres (over 20 acres is more properly considered a commercial farm (a “farm farm”).
–The land is mostly arable (vs. wetlands);
–The existing home is decent-sized but not gargantuan, and appears to be in (very) good condition.
–Location: < 1 hour of the Twin Cities.
–Price < $1M.
Too complicated?
Just search “hobby farm” on MLS. 🙂
