I like this lady. She did a good job despite looking like an apparition.

If you really want to "visualize" an acre of land, you need to superimpose an image of the average human standing either in the middle of an acre, or on the edge of an acre - that will really give you the visuals that you need.

Damn, never thought about that, thanks brother.

Or 4 people... each standing on the four corners of an acre

[@zamundaafrica4611]

Thanks a lot my love!!!You sound so genuine,informed and knowledgeable about your subject.Watching from Uganda and see you soon here as you teach me more!

[@unburriedtalents599]

This is SUPER helpful! Thank you for helping me imagine it! I want a homestead.

[@jcdias6951]

Very good visual information.

[@ivanashley7875]

Easy way to find out, roll it out over an acre, if it overhangs it's more than an acre, if it comes up short it's less than an acre. Glad I could clear that up for you.

[@mandypanamart310]

Thank you for this valuable information 😁

[@CLIQUEIPTV]

Thank you, enjoyed your video.

[@piousminion7822]

That 1 acres mock-up looks MUCH larger than my friend's 5 acre property.

[@janinramirez7]

Thank you for the video! Very helpful!

[@BuyBudgetLand]

Glad it was helpful!

[@chriscich]

You should use the size of a Big-Box store like a Walmart or Target for reference.

[@virginiaprice9770]

So helpful!! Thank you

[@IndigenousIndianLady65]

Thank you! I do now feel we just need an acre...

[@SANIDAHIRU3839]

Please I need more explanation on numbers of sheep, goat and chicken to cultivate in an acre of land, thank you.

[@3DCGdesign]

omit the end zones, an acre is 90 yards + 2'3" of an American football field. Call it 91 yards. No end zones.

[@pankajkumarmondal4490]

Well done

[@camicri4263]

Thank you, great video!

[@andresquinones2258]

It does not take 5 minutes to describe an acre

[@danieladkins9227]

I have 4 lot's each lots 3.25 Acers located in Stockton Missouri near 25,000 Acer lake which is the cleanest Lake in the entire state..5 minutes from Stockton city limits and lake and dam. Jobs clos by Springfield Missouri 50 minutes away Kansas city 90 minutes away and Bolivar Missouri 20 minutes away. My lots are in a higher end subdivision gated community but we'll worth the money .125,000 to 150k it's a must see

[@realestateexpress4899]

thx

[@JPaterson8942]

I drew an acre on Google maps around my house. Nearly ten neighboring houses and the next street over fit.
It's also a good idea to look up a park you're familiar with and it's acreage.

[@ELCLAVE300]

I own 2.5 acres of vacant land ... Does that mean I can fit approximately 15 houses on my land?

[@biayo79]

1 acre = 4046 Square Meter, there, I answered the question

[@JS-jh4cy]

Think 70 by 70 yards

[@JS-jh4cy]

Easy

[@adh1980s]

Only 100 chickens for a whole acre? Wow

[@kaylamar1288]

I'd also check with the township you have land in/are going to be buying land in. Each township has its own set of rules regarding how many of each type of animal you can keep on your property in ratio to the size of your plot. Example; I live on a 50 acre farm. In my township, you can only have 50 chickens per acre. The first horse needs 5 acres, the second horse needs 2 additional acres and then one more acre added in for each horse added to the herd. It's the same for cattle as well. 100 chickens may not seem like a lot, but it is in most cases.

[@601salsa]

1 acre is 210ft by 210ft.

[@Hungry-lion]

That’ is it ? I thought it was bigger than that

[@danieladkins9227]

208.17 x 208.17 hehehe 😂 exactly

[@DrRock2009]

63m by 63m

[@JS-jh4cy]

An acre is not big enough is the reality

[@lydvi9924]

Interested in California only

[@dbz739921]

So none of that is going to help when you need precise measurements on a real estate test

[@juangomezfuentes8825]

Videos that are unnecesary in the metric system.

[@newhorizonslifecoachcheers]

Very informative but you need to update your appearance in the video. It would help boost interest in what you are saying. You looked washed out and look as if you are looking far out somewhere. When doing videos image is everything. Check out the great tips on creating videos here on youtube.. Thanks for the upload.
