We have also got a watertreatment system going in and all our water will be reused. Hopefully we will get an orchard and veggie patch also.
If you have 10 acres, I would make the most of it! I wouldnt try to get a town sized block fenced, but rather one that is large enough to run around in but small enough to mow with the ride-on mower on a saturday afternoon....
I am in total agreement with you! I wanted a massive yard, but the bigger we go, the more fence, the more $$$. Hubby won out. If I had an acre, I would be tempted to fence the whole lot, but with us, it would have been hard to know where to stop, so we figure the future kids can go out the yard if they need more room.
