We bought 11 acres with a 2,000 sq. ft. one level house and a big pole barn that had been vacant for 4 years. The house was OK, but needed a lot of work before we moved in. I have spent two years removing old tires, rusty 55 gallon cans, discarded appliances, lots of barbed wire, plastics and hundreds of golf balls that over time were just pounded into the ground by tractors then exposed by the rain. It was covered in brambles and weeds 5 feet high and the forest was closing in on the open land with cedars. I cleared a lot of brush and burned it all. We have our chickens and do barrier gardening. Two years have made a huge difference. Every effort pays its reward. Ours is every morning we sit on the porch watching to sun come up, drinking our coffee and saying our daily prayer thanking God for all he has provided us and the great nation we live in doing what we want to do. We try to be more self sufficient in producing our own food. Our freezer is full and mason jars finally have a purpose. However we were in our early 70's when we did this life change. Many think we were a bit crazy when we decided to move into the country. We think of it as an investment that will always have value because it allows you provide for yourself on your terms. So far we're very happy and as long as we can do the chores on the property we're good to go. We're getting a lot of joy watching you guys working on your future. Be Bold!
You are living the life! Crazy is the way to go. 😉
Shopping for a property is very stressful and time consuming these days. Last year, my family looked for property with specific needs. We would find one, place an offer, it sold 30 minutes before. Another one, sold for 35,000 over our bid. Looking. Searching, on and on... then one day, there it was! The house was large enough for our needs, the land was great, handicap accessible bathroom, large garage, shed for chicken coop. Everything on our wish list was met. We moved in almost a year ago. The only thing was a long commute to work. Keep your chin up, keep the faith, and you, too, will find the home of your dreams. When you do. Your hearts will sing! Best of luck!!!
Same here. On contract for my first house and its 1.5 hours away from current job.
That breakfast looked freaking amazing!!
Oh it was!
@@TheHollarHomestead I was thinking that was a great way to start the day.
Praying for Gods perfect answer in this property for you
Good luck and remember the research at the county! If it's moldy tear it down, start over because in the long run it's better for your health.
Visualization is the KEY to manifestation. If you are seeing it in your mind. THERE IS A REASON FOR THAT. Good luck. Hope you guys get it.
When it is right you will know it! Hang in there!💕
Hi..... Thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
When you can't find a place, stop and show the photos to neighbors and ask if they know where it is. I found one that way once.
I moved to nc from Catskills ny 10 years ago and I love it out here and I'm happy my boys well they are men now did get a chance to grow up out here. It's an hour to hour and half from all attractions water parks and fairs not market or store they are close and I'm still in the woods enough to be at peace.
Sometimes you can contact the local fire dept and ask them to use your building for t,heir fire training - they burn it to the ground FOR you for free - 👍🏻 saves you the time and cost of tearing it down.
I have to think you're sick n tired of cooking out of a cooler and eating that fabulous food off a paper plate.
Icky HOA. LOVE the Boondocks!
I am definitely ready for real plates lol!
Prayers that this is in his plans for your family.
Sitting on the edge of my seat! Gods got this if it’s meant to be ! Keep the faith! Love you guys! I’m actually loving those meals too -😋
We have been having the same problem with properties not having the right address and you spend hours looking for it and never find it. Hang in there. We are hitting the bricks again in April to find our homestead. Best of luck to you.

If it is the "one" for you it will happen. Glad you are back on the home trail. I know it is frustrating and you are so ready to find it. Praying for yall.
Your search reminds me a lot of what we went through trying to locate property. Addresses were iffy and no for sale signs. It is a miracle (literally) that we found the property we ended up buying.
Wow! Sweet potato and carrot hash! I need to make this recipe 😊after we get home from our week long vacation in Arizona! Thanks to the Hollar Homestead 😊 for sharing this recipe!! I love how you add raw veges to your meals! Brilliant! 😊 Its fun to watch your channel!😊Thanks for taking us with you!💕💕💕
You guys are amazing just amazing, do not know how you and your family does this waiting, abandoned no home or anything, you and your family are very patient. I PRAY after everything, Your family finds Your Home. HOME SWEET HOME... Thank you for your videos! Thumbs up!!!
I will be praying for that that property become your blessings to you and your family
Good luck!
I'm sendingyour family prayers🙏🏻. I hope you get it. 🤞
So exciting! Good luck on the house! There's a lot of junk to be found... And your boys will find it!
P.s. that breakfast looked amazing!
It's hard not to be discouraged. No addresses on just land! Took me two years and lots of frustration to find my land.
I would love it if you guys had a cooking channel, lol. Glad you still have your comments. Love following your journal. You seriously have the quietest kids on the internet. They are so well mannered. I would love to hear more out of them :o)
We are working on a cooking channel! ;)
Good luck.🍀
Good luck guys
We are all so happy! Facing south is huge and the property just looks sweet. I am in the preserve the house camp. We took a fishing shack from the 30's and restored it, and it is so delightful. Everyone said tear it down, but then we would have ended up with the same thing everyone else has. We are super happy we kept it. (It's much cheaper and there's always bleach!) Plus, I feel it's respectful to the former owners of the land whose spirits still come by to say hello.
Loved watching this knowing where you are now!
Amazing breakfast!
Heck yea! Good luck
persevere, we looked for seven years ourselves but ended up with something much better than we dreamed of, at a great price, in the end
Best of luck🙏🏼
Great news! We are hoping for the best for y'all! ~Drew
Thanks!!
Praying 🙏🏼 Blessings to your family 💕💙
Keep on truckin'!
Good Day, I'm wishing you all the luck you can get. From the way you say think you both seem to like the same thing or dislike it, you look to see what and where you can do things. So your going in with your EYES OPEN very good let your Heart tell you if it's right for all the things you need. Your kids do not know how lucky they are and I hope they play a part in doing thing, be good for them. Well till the next one come out. Wishing and praying for good luck you deserve it. When if it goes your way ( it will ) then the Hard Works start.
Good luck 🐔
Stay positive! We searched for over a year and made offers on three farm properties before the deal worked out for us. We had to make offers contingent on the sale of our house which added a whole additional layer of uncertainty. In the end the right property worked out for us. Your farm is out there too. 😊
Thank you for the encouragement! I know this one could fall through too... We'll see!
It looks like a nice barn
Ok seriously I can't watch anymore. The FOOD makes me hungry! I know I said making a cookbook would be great but..I seriously think a COOKING PLAYLIST WOULD BE GREAT!! We are excited to see where God puts you all. It's going to be great! 🙏❤🍳🥓🍽
Haha sorry to make it hard for you!!
@@TheHollarHomestead no worries I'm a survivor lol 😉
LOVE sweet potatoes! Good luck on the bid. The land you're supposed to have will come along. A little tip: Orient the spout on the broth carton so it's on top instead of the bottom and the broth won't 'glug-glug' and splash all over the place. That's why motor oil bottles are made with the spout to one side, so you can hold it with the spout on top so it will pour out smoothly and not glug. ✌🏻&❤️
Sweet! I will try that next time.
We looked at more than 100 properties in our 4 year search. Several times we came to a non address. The best was one where the road ended and we looked across an incredible deep ravine and could see the house and barn.😳 plus a high voltage power line behind the house that careful photography had kept out of the listing photos.
At times we were so discouraged but we knew the right place was waiting. It was and we now have a beautiful 15 acres in Kentucky. You will do so well when you find ‘home’👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😳
Don't be too dependent on utilities already been there, I am going through the same thing and there is nothing there but when I build I will have a new clean reliable well and new power lines put in. Some of the existing properties have antique old cloth wrapped scary wires and the well is gross and you have to have it re-done. Not to mention the septic that can be incorrectly done, it doesn't cope with 6 people and you have to pay more to get it all dug up, carted away and new soil brought in. When you starting a homestead new well, septic and electric is huge ... the rest you can take your time with.
If it is an old septic what’s the difference between that and composted humanure? It would seem that it would be broken down and good for trees or if it has not been “resting” long enough, you could make a big layered (with straw or card board) area and cover or not with a tarp. I know some cities and towns are doing something similar.
@@susanlee9532 Depends what the county code enforcement makes you do... we had to make a larger septic leach field here since it wasn't big enough when we bought the place.. ended up putting in a larger tank as well.. always check codes!!
Fingers crossed for you all xx tfs
Fingers crossed for you guys.
I love chickens too...so funny, when we were looking for property we had the same problem with a property in Paradise, Mt...so depressing...really wanted to see it...we moved on too & finally found the property we r at now...good luck
Good luck.
Most would have turn & ran from the homestead we purchased...the owner wanted to torch it (he had to foreclose on the ppl before us & it was a very long nightmare for him) thankfully he saw our determination (& his wife fell in love with our kids😁) and took a chance on us! We became life long friends with that couple & spent 26 wonderful years at that home! Good luck with your offer!!!!
That's amazing!! ❤
@@TheHollarHomestead My Grandma met them with us & convinced them to give us a land contract (that she wrote up as she had much experience with them). Lola (the wife) only had one stipulation...we must personally deliver payment to them monthly WITH the children. So the first of every month we went to Art & Lola's for Coffee & Ice cream lol!
So exciting!!!!!
You should check Brunswick County north Carolina there is a lot of land and a lot of farmers market and yes Farms. I know you would love Nikina
Cool Beans..
Oh my goodness y'all - WELCOME to NC - where it rains regularly and entire tracts of land do not exist! lol But really welcome to NC. If you decide to head north a bit, check out Wilkes County - not sure what your budget is, but it's not unusual around here to find a house on 20-40 acres for less than $150,000 and the prices go down from there as the acreage goes down.
I hope this works out for you. Obviously it is something you think would work or you wouldn't gave made an offer. Lots of good thoughts for you! 🤞
Oh I know it can be a job trying to find some places out in the deep country ,Keeping y'all in prayer maybe this is the one .Thanks for sharing God Bless sweet friends .
It’s interesting, for sure!
Praying for you all.
Funny watching this episode now, how you were non-plussed about that first property ;-)
All I could think about was how good your breakfast looked 😍 hang in there!
Good luck
Get a bag of marshmallows and a can of Gas..Torch that house and build your own hand hewn log cabin... you got your fifth wheel to live in until the house is done.... as for the clay soil, you know how to fix that... wood chips and time! You can Do It! Keep going you guys your doing great... love following you on your journey!
I would LOVE to build our own house!!
You should make that into a t-shirt chickens are my spirit animal
I actually bought a t-shirt that has that saying on it about a month ago ! Tractor Supply had it.
Haha that would be so cute!
You can also search titles by address on your local county auditors website. If you don't find the address there...run away. Lol
Men are SUCH good COOKS!! It looked yummy!
Right?! I feel so spoiled haha!
Praying for you all!! God has a plan!!
Have you guys looked into property auctions? There are absolute auctions in which the final price is the sale price. Word of mouth, papers/adds in the area you like?
Good Luck 🍀
God Bless💕
Wishing you luck
