I grew up in a big home (not sure how big I'd assume maybe 6500+ sq ft), we had about 5 acres of land, a barn, some of the lot was wooded. It was nice but it was a but the cost and work we had to put in never really seemed worth it to me. In the winter it seemed like I was constantly shoveling snow from the stupidly long driveway and in the summer I was spending all my time cutting grass, removing brush and dead trees, painting, fixing ect. The cost to heat in the winter was astronomical, I wish I could remember what it cost to heat that place with oil the numbers might be staggering for some. Like anything it had its positives and negatives but I'm not sure if I'd ever want to go back to maintaining and paying for a place like that...maybe if I had a big family.
