I'm on 11 acres, 2.5 of which are landscaped living area. The rest is regenerating Aussie bush. 5 chickens and 2 roosters, two border collies and a Shepherd/blue heeler cross, 1 belted Galloway steer, 1 equestrian horse. Visited regularly by kangaroos and wallabies, bandicoots and echidnas, dingoes and wombats. Neighbours are all friendly and look out for each other, near enough to be familiar, far enough to be private. We grow passionfruit, mangoes, oranges, mandarins, tumeric, kale, spinach, potatoes, lemons, capsicum, chilies, asian and leafy greens, macadamia nuts, chestnuts, blueberries, bananas, dragonfruit, peaches, tomatoes, celery, avocados, pineapples, asparagus, limes, olives.

Sounds like where I grew up in the Southern Highlands of NSW. It gets to you after a while, but creates a very unique environment.
