Do you have a goal of buying the perfect property for creating a homestead? Dream of having free-range chickens, productive gardens, and enough space to avoid seeing the neighbors? Want the freedom to do what you want on your land without the burden of an HOA?
We dreamt of all those things too.
The problems? It was hard to find land that fit the bill. Half of the parcels we found were either in a floodplain, next to a landfill, or too far away from the people and places that mattered most to us.
And once we DID find something that might work, how did we know it was the right fit?
Did the property have the resources we needed for building our natural home? Would we be able to afford the property taxes? Would we even be able to get insurance if we built a homestead there?
We needed a way to know that the property we wanted to buy would fit our budget, our lifestyle, and our goals.
So I created a system that helped us keep track of which properties we liked, choose the best ones for our needs and budget, and ultimately close on the purchase of our dream parcel. That system ultimately became:
The Homestead Land Buyer’s Guidebook.
Before we bought our homestead, we looked at dozens upon dozens of different properties. Each parcel had different price points, available resources, and potentials. But only one ended up being the winner.
And because of the method I developed for researching and evaluating each property, I was confident that we made the right choice.
We bought our dream property, stayed within our budget, and went on to build the off-grid cordwood house we always dreamed of!
