How many acres could you afford right now? If you own a house that's a start. Check Zillow for areas with much lower land value than yours. Consider also other factors like transportation and access to fresh water. (I assume you've researched already just putting this out there for others.)
Oh, for sure. I’d want a stream and/or multiple lakes on the property. Would place the house on the front 5 acres to provide a buffer for the remaining property from road access.
Big things to think about are also elevation, sun exposure, rainfall levels, etcetera. Elevation for flood prevention and storm shelter construction and/or root cellar/basements. Sun exposure for solar power. Rainfall for water capture and crops.
