"Professionally landscaped"? When I hear that term, oddly, I expect to see something green. Anything will do, I'm not picky. Apparently the owners have not utilized the "significant water rights", a lawn mower, some grass seed or Round Up.

OH thank you so much for that hearty laugh I had just now after reading your comment!! Please stay in your wonderbread world with unsustainable miraclegrow b.s. "landscaping" and leave the rest of the beautiful natural world to us who understand it. Haha, man. Oh. Yes. I am like tearing up it's so funny. Back to your box now. Do you drive a volvo too? I bet your idea of enjoying nature is going down to El Monte RV and renting a semi trailer to park in the woods. haha. Jesus.

Seriously.

The views are teriffic, and I love, love, love the acreage. But man, it's still the desert. What do you grow on land like that? Tumbleweeds? For $5-plus million, they might have to change the name to 36-24-34 Ranch to draw in prospective buyers!

What AOL Prude came up with the link headline for this article. This is what was on the main AOL page that I clicked on:
"$5 Million Ranch Has Risque Name ". Why?
In what world is the ranch name "Risque"? Because its call The Double D Ranch & that's a bra size?
Maybe the original owners where named Dan & Deborah or David & Darlene? Does AOL employ 8 year old's?
The Ranch looks wonderful by the way. Wish I had 5 mil.

The views are terrific. The house, on the other hand, is butt ugly. I wouldn't take it if it was given me.

I was raised on a farm....cows, chickens and I even cleaned up the poop! I drive a 2002 Suburban. Now, in my mid-40's, I own 50 acres in the country. F you sideways. Merry Christmas!

But, Michael, however presumtuous I find your opinion, I'll give you this much. THAT house is in NM and I'm from Ohio. I'm used to greenery all around. I certainly expect NM to look different, but I stand by my point. That house does not appear to be "professionally landscaped".
