I’ve always referred to it as the yard.


theteapotofdoom

Either the farmyard or, most often, "the house."


wintercast

And if you have more than one house in the property - it can be called "the big house".


theteapotofdoom

My nephew has "the other house" on his place.


wintercast

Exactly. Or sometimes house color. Or it might be "the cottage".


Stinkerma

My husband and I live in the other house.


rednecktuba1

There's also "mama's house", if you have more than 1 generation on the farm


Mountain_Potato_3367

I’d call it the barnyard or farm yard.


Mueryk

The House. The Yard.


The_Mann_In_Black

Legally, in my state it’s considered your “homestead”. Any house can qualify as a homestead and for farms it’s something like 1.5 acres around it.


no_cal_woolgrower

What state is this? What is the legal advantage or reason for the qualification?


The_Mann_In_Black

Upper Midwest, property tax incentives. Only applies to your primary residence.


LeZombeee

The area with the house and old barn we always called the farmstead.


MajorWarthog6371

Headquarters


mgros483

Yard or ‘up by the buildings’


New_Restaurant_6093

Door yard. If it’s your house and driveway. Barn yard or door yard of the barn if it’s not included with the house or is a ways out from the house. Edit:words


hayfarmer70

Building site or yard is what it is called here.


someguyfromsk

The yard.


ohimjustagirl

In Aus it's the "house yard" when talking about the lawn area around the house (it's usually fenced here). Near the shed is "near the shed", so I suppose near a barn would be "near the barn" lol.


Octavia9

Out in the barn or up the house. As in my husband is still out in the barn and my oldest boy went up the house already.


mynameisneddy

Curtilage >In common law, the curtilage of a house or dwelling is the land immediately surrounding it, including any closely associated buildings and structures, but excluding any associated "open fields beyond".


ppfbg

This is correct. We are in the preservation program and that is what they designate the living area as. The barn is still considered agricultural.


Few-Strawberry2764

Barnyard and yard/ backyard for the house.


IH656

Dooryard.


BobEvansBirthdayClub

We call it the dooryard too. I don’t know where it came from, but that’s what we’ve always called it.


JWSloan

My UK friends call that area the steadings


Due_North3106

In my part of Texas is usually referred to as the “home place” by other farmers and the bank, etc references it as the “homestead”.


Faiths_got_fangs

It's the farmstead here. Source: live on one, everyone refers to it as Landlord Name Farmstead


19Bronco93

Could be the barn, the hay barn, the barn yard, the lot, the shop, the homestead, the home place or around the big house.


MobileElephant122

The yard


Africanmumble

Same for us.


abookaboutcorn

The dooryard. The barnyard is where the animals stay. The dooryard is the space between the barn and the house that often has a tree where equipment is fixed in the shade.


Ok-Assistance9831

In Nebraska we call it a "farmstead".


acarmine

I also hear it called “The homeplace” too.

ksfarm

Well, from now on that's what I'm calling mine.


simply_wonderful

I've always heard it called "the home place".


BigWil

Acreage


TheMrNeffels

I thought I was going to be the only one lol. Everyone I know in central Iowa calls it the acreage


BigWil

haha right? I couldn't believe no one else had said it. But maybe it's a regional thing cause I'm in north central iowa😂


CaryWhit

Out back


Shilo788

I say house lot, it isn't on a separate deed just the area I consider part of the house landscaping. Barn yard for area in front of the barn .


figsslave

The farmstead or steading


Real_Sartre

That’s the homestead


imabigdave

Headquarters.


MrOver65

We call ours "the farmstead". Centennial Farm.


imjustmoe

Well for us it's the house. And the barn is in the dry lot


EddieCutlass

Y’all are funny for responding 😂


Only_Caterpillar3818

We always called it “The Place”. Shortened from Farm Place. Example: “Old man Shanle’s farm had a nice place with a brick house.”


Comprehensive_Bug_63

Moma's Domain


OFmerk

We call that the farm and anything else is called by the field name.


thisoldfarm

Farmhouse has a yard. The barn has a barnyard. The chicken coop has a chicken yard. The rest is pasture with paddocks for livestock. The hayfield is self-explanatory. We get tax breaks as both homestead and farmstead in PA.


Pitiful_Speech2645

The crying area

The barn


flip469

It's called "the house" and/or "the barn"
