I was just wondering, what is your preference:

A smaller house with a lot of land, or a large house on a smaller lot?

This might be interesting?

With a large lot, you can always expand the house.

Generally, large lot small house but it depends on what part of the country I'm living in...

Large lot is not very descriptive
To a friend in NH 5 acres is a small lot
Another friend in Montana has 100 acres
Around here 1/2 - 1 acre is a large lot

We have 1/2 acre - house was 1640 sq ft as purchased
By the time I'm done it will be close to 3000 sq ft

That's not counting the 24x36 garage, 7x10 lean-to greenhouse, 6x10 3 season front porch, 19x24 walk up attic, or the 1250 sq ft basement

Small houses cost so much less to operate and are so much easier to keep clean.

I have a 1-1/3 acre lot and a 2600 sq ft house plus a 30x50 shed. Lots seems smaller until you are mowing it.

I hope to get a 1300sq ft house on about 2 acres, if I can sell my current home. That is plenty for me.

I prefer a larger house than a smaller one, but that's just me

Large house smaller amount of land.

You can always add more to a small house if you have a lot of land! Property is much better than a big house.
