How big is an acre of land? | The Rural Rules

How big is an acre of land, and how many do you need for your dream property? We show examples to help you understand what a square acre looks like and then give examples of how much you can fit into one acre. How many acres do you need for a house? A barn? A lake? A farm? Our host, Jason, explains and shows how an acre compares to items like a football field and a city block.
