We have 100+ acres here. Been living here with my girlfriend for 4 years now. Not married, nope. Don't have or want kids, and we are not religious people. So no need... Most of what you see in the photo, barn, pastures, orchard and stream is all on this property. That is about 20 acres. 5 acres on the mountain across the road and in the lower right of the photo is also ours. Needs thinning. All conifers. What you don's see is another 80 acres in trees, pastures and whatnot on the other sides of the house. Nearest neighbor is about 1/4 mile away, past the barn there. You can see some of her house above the horse trailer, and her shed above the barn.

The trees in color along the stream here are in a protected Coho Salmon habitat creek. I have never seen anything big in there, but the dogs have eaten salmon out of there and gotten salmon poisoning, so they are in there. We are all of 10 miles from the lower Umpqua River though, and the fishing on that river is some of the best in the world. Steelhead, salmon, and trout. Trout is boring fish to me, I prefer salmon or steelhead. The salmon here are Coho (AKA: silver) and Chinook (AKA: king). Some of the best.
