GLC i didn't realize you had only one acre- your posts and pictures always seemed like it was a big farm/homestead!
I can understand why you'd want more room, espec if you dislike the road and your neighbors. We have about 1/3 acre and it's tough to deal with. We can't have chickens or goats,which I'd love...though i do have bees which are existing 'under the radar', behind the veg garden. At least i get to have a good sized veg garden!
Good luck on your house hunting.
