A new adventure
16.8 acres of mostly
bare land + a new state = the first step in a grand adventure!
There's a water tap and
an old camper on the property...and not much else. I suspect the
amenities will be easier to establish than they were on our first farm,
though, since the area that will become our core homestead butts right
up against the road.
Okay, and I'll admit it
--- the land isn't quite bare any more. I couldn't resist filling the
trunk with mushroom logs and potted plants before heading up to our
closing. If the deer don't find them before we drive north again, we'll
have the tiniest bit of a homestead waiting for us upon our return.
(This last picture is at
our AirBnB. The actual property has no houses in sight.)

About us: Anna Hess and Mark Hamilton spent over a decade living self-sufficiently in the mountains of Virginia before moving north to start over from scratch in the foothills of Ohio. They've experimented with permaculture, no-till gardening, trailersteading, home-based microbusinesses and much more, writing about their adventures in both blogs and books.

That's a nice sized block. Not quite 20 acres, but above 10. So you get space from neighbours, but a more compact, land parcel, to manage. Why does the house need to be butted up against the road though - building restrictions, or cheaper to run electricity to the home? Or will you be off grid?
Enjoy your new adventure.
