I learned to fly in a 150 with 2300' no problem. You have plenty of room past the end of the runway. Field elevation?
Just measured and I've got about 1,800'-1,900' of grass runway. 2,200' if you count my front yard. It's about another 1,800'-2,000' to the treeline (which is also a hill) on one side. The other side has some trees and a treeline just to the right to watch out for, but if you turn slightly left after takeoff, there don't appear to be many obstacles.
What do you guys think of this for a 150? What's a safe length for a grass strip and obstacle distance for a 150 to you guys? I need informed opinions. I'm considering purchasing a 150 and keeping it on this grass strip if possible. I just want to make sure it's going to be safe.

Sorry I misunderstood your post. Field elevation is 420'.I learned to fly in a 150 with 2300' no problem. You have plenty of room past the end of the runway. Field elevation?
