Buying My Homestead: What I Wish I Knew

How do you find the perfect property for a homestead or family compound? In this video, I go over how we found 120 acres for our dream homestead, including what went wrong and what I wish we knew. Most people focus on the aesthetics of land… But the real question is, are the land and resources there actually functional for self-sufficiency?

Over the last few years, we’ve been building an off-grid style homestead focused on freedom, resilience, food production, energy independence, and creating a life that doesn’t rely entirely on modern systems.
