I realize you have to choose from the properties available, but I really 
like having my "barn" area a 4 minute walk downhill from the house.  It 
is amazing how spoiled (lazy?) we get when things are right there under 
our noses.  Coming back up from feeding is always a good cardio-vascular 
workout, even if I just walk.  And if I'm pushing a wheelbarrow of 
manure for compost, even better......   sort of  :)  There is vehicle 
access which is very convenient for bringing in sacks of grain or hay.

I feed down there but have water up near the house so the ponies have to 
go up and down a lot too.  Actually, they go up and down a lot anyway 
because that's pretty much all I have, lol!  They love to run down the 
mountain full tilt boogie but it surely scares me to see them move that way!

When it's the dead of winter, I often wish I could feed without going 
outside but otherwise, I like having to walk a bit.
