After much discussion, the Photographer and I have decided to list the farm for sale. Although we love it here, the undeniable fact is that we are both getting older and 80 acres is getting to be a bit much for us to keep up with.
We contacted a realtor and have officially listed the farm! I am not sure this is a *good* time to be trying to sell - with the holidays upon us and the state of the economy - but we have reached the point of "it is now or never".
The Photographer is considering an early retirement within the next few years and we are hoping to downsize to a smaller place. This old stone house is quite large and a bear to keep clean! Truth be told, I am rather looking forward to being closer to the city. It means that I will be closer to the grocery story, fabric store, church, etc. and not quite so isolated from civilization as I am now (especially when the Photographer is off on a shoot and I am home alone!)
Of course, there is absolutely no way that we will ever end up in a townhouse or a subdivision. We are dreaming of a smaller sized home on 10-15 acres within 10 minutes of town. I realize that this sounds impossible but we are keeping the faith!

What a dramatic photo! I'm sorry you have to leave the place, but it's better to do a thing before it gets impossible for you.
Ten - fifteen acres sounds like a lot, too!
