Well, I've never seen an episode of the Waltons, but maybe! The land has been in the family since the 1700s. Currently, my grandparents, parents, sister, cousin, and myself "share" (many implications to that at the moment! lol) the land.

The county that I live in is very restrictive when it comes to growth (the area I'm in requires 25 acres per house). Because of this, there are basically no "starter" homes, and as a result, most people who grow up here can't afford to continue living here when they get out on their own. The county is quickly becoming a DC retirement community. We have a 2000 acre farm that surrounds our place. It sold a few years ago for $10million. A developer bought it and is selling it in 50 acre tracts for $500k+. People are buying them and putting up 5-10k sq feet houses.
