We bought the lot for our new house on December 14! It's 3 acres of prairie on the east side of town about two miles from the east edge of the university and, more important, closer to the golf course than our current condo.
The lot has a rise on the front portion of it, and the house will be positioned at the summit. Hopefully we'll have a view from the kitchen window of the pond that is two lots over. The back yard slopes down to a little forest on the property that adjoins at the back. We plan to plant trees on the back portion--if we can keep the deer from eating the seedlings!
The front part of the lot will be planted in prairie, so there will be minimal lawn and minimal lawn mowing.
Congratulations, Kathy! I'm surprised at your use of "hopefully" though. Evidently, you are not completely your father's daughter! Good luck with the building. Love, Beth
