Green said “I bought… I’ve got 1780 [acres] right now that all touches. But I bought it in like little pieces. Every time I go down there, I’m calling my neighbors up, see if anybody wants to sell anything.”
He continued “But my granddaddy Buford’s brother, my uncle Bill, had some property that I grew up running around on It was 141 acres and I bought that first and then just since then, I’ve grown it. And it’s just a never- ending project.”
What Does Riley Green Do With All His Land?
Riley Green owns bulldozers and says he does everything from clearing land and digging ponds to clearing trees and making dirt roads for him to explore.
“I’ll go home and it kind of keeps me sane on the road, too, ’cause I’ll be thinking about, ‘Man, when I get home, I’m going to take the D3 over here and clear this one field off or make this road around the outside of the property so I can go in here or I’m going to dig a lake over here,'” he shares. “So, you’re just constantly creative ’cause everything you do is making the land more valuable, you know?”
How Much Land is 1,780 Acres?
To put it into perspective, 1,780 acres is roughly the size of 1,350 Walmart parking lots, 1,300 football fields, and two of New York City’s Central Park.
That is quite a chunk of land for one person to own.
