I just bought, 3 months ago, such a place!
28 acres that the last mile of the road is what we call an "easement" through someone else's property.
Just getting settled in - plan to get me a female German Shepherd about 2-3 years old - and once we get used to each other, in a year I figure - breed her with a Collie -
and have puppies!
Only one neighbor within a mile, and surrounded by Government land -
Plan to only chain the dog(s) up when I'm absent from the place, but it will be on a clothesline runway sort of deal so they will not be restricted too much.
I'm in Northern Ontario, so it gets cold - Dogs are going to be outside dogs, so already have a homemade design for a heated doghouse.
Sorry though, no plans for A/C for the dogs - I'll build the doghouse in the shade though, and keep lots of water nearby.
