We're on 7 acres here in the Naki which even with a typical average dwelling has a value that is a fraction of my sister's place on the North Shore.
Having lived rurally since 1997 apart from a couple of short renting stints as circumstances dictated I far prefer living with a decent distance of separation from neighbours. A rural property definitely fills my days with chores but the peace and quiet, rural scenery and the opportunity to fill your own freezer with meat and produce more than makes up for the extra workload.
