TALLAHASSEE, FL – 6 Mar, 2017 – Small farm living is becoming an appealing alternative for savvy home buyers and entrepreneurs across the country. The benefits of living and working on a farm are many. What’s more, rural farm properties are typically available at much lower cost than urban and suburban alternatives.
Internet and cell tower reach is often suitable for small business owners and remote workers as well. As noted through this resource, small farms in North Florida have diverse and special qualities to meet homeowner and small business needs.
Among the array of benefits of living and working on a small farm are:
• General enjoyment of a very different and nurturing lifestyle and environment
• Good health – “growing your own food”, taking walks, being out in the fresh air, and daily experiencing the type of environment that cuts stress and provides a respite from life’s challenges
• Income opportunities – whether through farming, having a perfect place for writing, artistry or handcrafting, another type of small business (of many different choices), providing rental housing or other means
• Enjoying positive activities – gardening, horseback riding, flying kites (and drones), playing games with family and friends, having lots of room for pets, and others… and a special place to raise a family or enjoy any life stage
• Taking in the outdoors – watching birds, deer and other wildlife, hearing the tranquil sounds of the area, star gazing in the dark night skies, appreciating the freshness and beauty of the natural setting
• Teaching and learning – whether through watching and interacting with farm animals, growing fruit and produce or observing natural cycles, are all means of learning (and teaching) about nature and life
• Space – having room to ride, grow food, recreate and reflect – plus expand on home and other buildings, build a home for a parent or other relative if needed, park over-sized vehicles, have as many guests over as desired
• Privacy – having a private personal haven, encountering others when one chooses to
• Experiencing peace – no city noise or light pollution and a special kind of nurturing of the spirit and soul
• Security and safety – from terrorism, other crimes, and other sources of stress that have become all too real in today’s world
• Sustainability – living off the land with a “green” sustainable lifestyle, including options for alternative energy without urban restrictions. Safeguarding one’s future… for now and the long term.

A former full scale horse farm and home-farm estate, the home was substantially remodeled for additional living space, design features and appeal. In addition, with the purchase of the home and 5 or more acres through cash or traditional financing the owner is also willing to owner-finance the sale of additional land.
As rural area Realtors are also quick to note: “Land is one thing they’re not making any more of these days”. For this reason, coupled with the many benefits of small farm living, rural land will continue to increase in value over time.
