Not trying to be weird or anything, but the smell of manure is one of the most important parts of the rural experience. But try explaining that to real estate parasites...

There was a rural town where I grew up that had roots in ranching. Everyone had horse corrals. It got big enough to incorporate into a city and started to grow quickly, but the new incoming residents started complaining about the horse manure smell.
So the city council passed a law that says basically the manure was here before you were. Get over it.
Did you know that Alfred Krupp, one of the guys responsible for the arms race that led to World War 1, absolutely loved the smell of horse manure? He loved it to a point where he built a house designed so he could always smell it. Wild stuff.
How do you design a house to smell like horse shit, aside from filling the walls with it?
I vaguely remember something about him building a horse barn with a well furnished bedroom in what would normally be the hay loft, with a big hole in the floor for the smellz to waft through.
