Looks like a nice weed plant next to the Japanese mapel
Ha even better😂
I thought I was the only one who caught that.
Yeah it does🐝
I've really grown to enjoy this channel. You guys have a great story, excellent visuals, and professional editing. I along with others, appreciate that. Thanks for having us along for your journey.
Thank you for the kind words.
agree.
Beautiful property. Someone is going to be very blessed with this cabin. I don’t believe a home on your own homestead can be overbuilt. Putting the extra effort just reassures you that in the long run there’s less damage and value loss. It’s obvious the current builder was hoping to live there for many, many years and probably thought they would pass this property down to their children. The reason it was “overbuilt”… Sad they didn’t get to see their vision come to life.…
Yes they put a lot of love into this cabin. Unfortunately his wife passed before the could see it finished.
go for it!! Steve took you there for good reason. what a great opportunity.
That is true.
What a beautiful place!
it's so lovely there .
I say go for it, wow what a piece of property!!
Great job on this video - thanks for sharing
Thank you
Thankyou for sharing this with us and your life you two.
Thank you
beautiful land 💯
What a dream, i wish i could afford to move off grid lol one day ill make it happen. For what its worth, your audience would love to see yall take on this adventure, and a new adventure may help with growing the channel 🤷♂️ feels kinda familiar to off the ranches video series about renovating an abandoned mansion, renovating an off grid paradise, resurrecting the garden, open the tree line for a great view, fininishing the house, being minutes from a national forest in your own back yard. Do whats best for you and your family, but it would be sick to watch.
Thanks. It would definitely be a new adventure with lots of projects and content for the channel.
I would love to buy this, only a dream at this age. What ever your heart desire don't wait do it now. Life is short this is beautiful property.
We agree!
Wow. What a beautiful beach and piece of land! No matter what you choose to do I will keep tuning in to watch whatever you choose to do!
Thank you Sue
what a awesome adventure awaits you guys.
Thanks
Oh man, what an opportunity! If you can do it financially I’d really want you guys to do this. This is a home for life. You can develop ANYTHING you want there and more! I see lot’s of pro’s but few con’s. And I see lot’s of very nice videos about building your new home in the near future. Make it work you two. You only live once and Steve & Mandy didn’t show you this place for nothing. It’s all part of the ‘Bigger Plan’ 😂 😂 😂. Can’t wait for next Woodstove Wednesday! Make up your minds!
Thanks Pat. You’re right, you only live once and this would be our forever home.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead I’m REALLY 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for you guys the numbers and pro’s/con’s add up positive!
he did a good job on the house can be beautiful when its done .
With alot of hard work that place could be awesome! Beautiful area. I love it.
It really could be.
Your photography is spot on in this episode!
Thank you
WOW. What a turn of events. It's beautiful and looks like it would be a lifetime of work but that would be exciting to undertake.
It would be like starting over. The good news is the tractor has really helped us expedite things. I think we could get a lot done at a faster pace now.
Go for it. Hope you make the move.
Thanks Ronald
Nice property! You two could whip it into shape in no time!
I think so too.
Pretty amazing 😁
It would have been a great place to live. I heard he took it off the market and now plans on moving back out there.
That place looks awesome!! We hope you all can get it. Will make a great series fixen up that place.
Thanks, it will give us a lot to do.
That is a beautiful piece of property. Alot of potential with the house.
I agree
That looks like a masonry heating system that he's started in that cabin. Super cool! I hope to build one someday in my dream Alaska home. They are super efficient and can heat the whole house, cook and even heat water if built so. That is a beautiful cabin and it is easy to see the love that the previous owners had for that land. I hope it works out for you guys to get it and breathe new life into a wonderful place!
It’s a wonder place.
Wow…. What a beautiful place. Good luck deciding, either place will be awesome.
Might be setting up the mill at the new place.😂
You guys have a wonderful week..!!
Man, it’s a tough decision. Either way we are going to have a blast next month.
good luck great video
Thank you Taylor
Very cool house. Great video. Dream property for sure. 😎
For sure.
Hey, Steve was my pastor growing up at Chapel By the Lake! cool property with some great halibut fishing close by.
That’s awesome. I’ll show him this. 👍
Oh my gosh you guys!! What an amazing place that could become!! I pray you make the best decisions for yourselves ❤️ It would be so fun to watch you bring that land back to life. Also, with all of the 😍 work you have done on your current homestead, you potentially can get a pretty penny for it 👍
Good luck to you and I CANNOT wait to hear your decision
Thank you. One of our neighbors already said they’d buy our place if we wanted to sell. It’s a big decision.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead that's awesome ❤️ A big decision but a lot of the big work is somewhat done and on a VERY STRONG foundation
Hail from the Oil Patch in Central WY!
Gotta tell ya brother, if the financial numbers line up for ya, DO IT!
This property provides a LOT more 'self sufficient' opportunity in real world terms (gardening especially, but the moose and larger blacktail population really shine for both availability and ease of 'capture').
The privacy alone would be worth the move, but I'd warrant because of the lesser population, fishing yields really ought to be superior.
The 'cabin' as it is built, is worthy of 'mansion' status considering those beams and how well put together it is.
Quite frankly, if I had the jingle, I'd go for it, but unhappily for me, my pockets are as empty as usual; though it looks like I might exceed $4k this year, with an outside chance at $4500 gross.......
Anywho, I really do hope you're able to make it work for you.......that place is something that will work for you, rather than against you.
Cheers from the Oil Patch in Central WY
Hey JR, good to hear from you. Unfortunately we decided not to purchase the property. It would have been really cool but also a lot of hard work. Plus we like our community here. Take care.
I love it I’m a firm believer that the good lord opens doors for a reason think of the possibilities pray on it
Thank you and we definitely are.
Brian, I think that place has the potential to be a very cool place.
With the walls open like that, I would get that new rockwool insulation and stuff it in there because it is super insulating, and it won't burn.
Also looks like you might be able to eventually put in a boat dock.
And it would make for plenty of all important content.
It definitely has potential and your right, it would make for a lifetime of content.
Thank you for another very fine Video I no it takes lots of time to do them great views of water and Life in Southeast Alaska. I have lots of found memories of your part of Alaska Paradise the summer of 1988 I and my Wife Kathy spent in Ketchan and I was able to Fly a BeHavlland Beaver for that Summer TEMCO Airlines witch is also a Helicopter company as well we had lots of fun traveling all over that country. In 1986 sold everything and mover on to our 40" sailboat we left Seward Harbor and lived on our 40 foot Sailboat up and down the inside passage way of BC and Alaska left the boat in Friday Harbor Washington for the winter and returned to work up in the Anchorage Area. I 1989 we left friday Harbor for Cabo San Lucas, and many more places.
What a great, adventurous life. I love that. That’s exactly what we are trying to do now. My wife worked for Temsco as a teenager, working glacier tours.
Hi Brian and Diana. You got some talking to do. Lot of work but it sure is a beautiful place. A lot of potential👍. Good luck. Keep us posted. Take care❤️
We will keep you posted for sure.
That cabin was amazing! I was imagining what it would look like finished! Beautiful garden too! Anxiously waiting to hear what you two decide.
Well we finally made our minds up.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead omg! Anticipation!!!
@@BreakingFreeOffGrid ha I’ll shoot you a message 😂
now i look at the place i love again . ty
You are welcome.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead ty :) cu :)
I love your property but I definitely see the advantages to the new place. Yes, it would be a lot of work and expense but knowing you'd be developing your forever home that includes guest quarters in the smaller cabin is very tempting!
There is no doubt the land is absolutely beautiful. I'm not sure I'd like to worry about the bears, especially for the Mrs. when she'd be home alone but you two are probably not too concerned.
You two are smart and I'm confident you'll make the best decision!
Thank you Jeffrey. Man, lots to think about.
Wow, what a nice piece of property. The open areas are already there, the garden space and the cabin is awesome even tho it’s not finish. I would love to live there. Plenty of room to do what you want with it. My husband and I was coming to Alaska but the virus put a stop to it.. we wanted to find about 5 acres of land to garden, raise some chickens and some hogs and a couple of cows for us but like I said that was stopped by the virus. You to think about it and list the pros and cons of it. That could be a beautiful homestead. May God bless you in what ever you decide. I vote yes. Love you guys. Will keep watching to see what’s next.
We decided to stay put and just focus on the place we have now. We have a great community here.
So, so much great potential there guys!!..That garden holds a ton of food producing potential as well. The home owner is MORE than cooperative and wants folks like you to take the wheel and live its potential..there's that word again!...Could be a golden opportunity.
I agree 100% Rob.
What salesman says “ He built walls 8’3” because he wanted everything grand looking”
What I hear “ He built the walls 8’3” because he didn’t want to cut every stud” hahaha
Awesome spot, nice big home and with some big work you could make it a paradise.
😂 Steve should have slapped the wall when he said that, like a car salesman slaps the hood.
It’s got a lot of potential.
hope u buy itlove to watch u fix it up
We decided not to but it would have been awesome.
I'd jump at the property also it looks a lot easier to build on for starters and the hunting seems more suitable. And having water all the time is an added plus.
It’s definitely a nice piece of land
Seriously B! You looked so Happy there! That is an amazing piece of property and with a bit of work, is livable. I can only imagine the garden after you guys have been there for a couple years. Do what makes you happy!
Well I think we are both on board for the move. Now we just need to see if our place can sell. These remote properties are going like hot cakes right now😂 When I first moved here this new property is what I envisioned has my dream home. Except with a log cabin, which we may still build a small cabin down below.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead I can just see you there for some reason! It just fits your personality! The trees, the cove, the garden! I am on board too! Let's do it! Lol!
@@pacificbushcraftandfirecra6358 I’m definitely ready 👍
Be a heck of a change for sure. More privacy but less of a community around.
Lot bigger cabin as you noted, lots of room for guests, including the little cabin.
You can also get a permit to harvest 10,000 board feet of lumber per year off the national forest, so maybe you can find a pocket of cedar nearby for siding. As for milling cedar siding I just made a jig, about as reliable as the siding attachment and a heck of a lot cheaper.
I’ll have to link up with you and get some information on this jig. It’s a huge undertaking and a tough decision.
Been waiting for this one since you gave me heads up couple weeks ago..that is a sweet piece of property! I can see you fixing that right up! I really like it so many positives not many negatives. I'd say if you can afford it jump on it before someone else does !
Thanks for sharing your adventures this place is awesome!!
Yeah it’s going to be a big undertaking but we are up to the challenge. Lots to think about.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead something to think about if you decide to pull the trigger on the other property. With your following/subscribers, there is the possibility of inviting everyone up to do something like an Amish Barn Raising for buildings you still need to add to the property (barn, coop, shed, garden shed, lumber mill cover), and to upgrade/update current structures. You’d probably get ten to thirty adults to help. You could prepare some area of the property to be used as a campground for the ordeal, possibly even acquire some tents like GP Mediums and a couple buddy heaters to keep the groups warm at night (assuming there are more than could all fit in bunk beds in the original little cabin). As a hook, maybe allow anyone who helps another couple days using your little cabin or “campground” for each day they are there to help build so long as they do so in the next five years…. That and a T-shirt…. You might be able to get a bunch of people to come help, especially since there are people who pay to do stuff like that for learning certain things like log, cordwood, and timberframe construction (if you are wanting to do one of those traditional construction methods you might be able to get with one of the groups that teaches those and actually get them involved in coming to teach and provide their knowledge… of course then it would be their followers paying them to build instead of your followers building to support you for those projects.)
as a first or last project for the people helping to do, could be to really fix up the original cabin and then you could rent it out as an Air BnB in the summers & deer season to help cover the extra costs of the larger property. At $200/night, having it rented 60 nights a year is an additional $12k a year towards the mortgage.
Just a few thoughts…. Even though you probably already thought of all of this….
@@Rick_Sanchez_C137_ those are some good ideas. Extra $12k a year would be nice.
Man thats a nice place with loads of potential. If I had the means to pay for that even at my age I would jump on it. For you I recommend put thought and prayer into this decision. I know you will make the right decision for the two of you. Good luck and God Bless water problem solving dinner in your back yard fish in the water
Man, it is the place I see in my dreams. We’d be giving up a lot for it but we’d also be gaining a lot.
That would be epic !! You gotta do this ! You are doing the same thing now, clearing the lot and working on the house. It's just bigger. If you could pull this off financially, then go for it. You guys could make that place beautiful !
Thanks Paul. I think you’re right. I’d say this place would be beautiful with a lot of work.
Wow!
Nice property and no neighbors, but boy, there's a lot of work that has to be finished before winter sets in.
That is true. Need to get a stove in there and walls insulated. Plus I didn’t see any firewood.
It is a beautiful property and I agree some breathing room. Now I'm not saying you two are getting up there in age, but that's alot of work, especially since you put in a lot of improvement on your property these last few years. Although, I did see where you said it was out of your price range. Who knows another property may come up if your so inclined. Hugs to Skipper & Raven. Blessings to you and your family. 😊🇺🇲
Thank you Patricia, the puppies always love extra hugs. Well we would have to take out a loan on this even after selling our place. It feels really good being debt free. On the other hand most people do have mortgages.
I love that property, but there is something to be said about having great neighbors - Which it seems you do where you currently live
That’s is absolutely the truth. Hard decision.
I never thought i would even think about moving to alaska because i hate winter. After watching your channel and seeing that it looks like you have even less snow than we get where i live makes me wish i knew this when my husband and i were younger. I would have jumped at the chance back then. We had all the skills, building, hunting, fishing and gardening. We could have afforded it then as well. I think that our adult kids would probably go with us if we did though. They are all outdoor types as well. We were never meant to live in the city.
Ha SE Alaska is a secret so don’t tell anyone😂 You guys would love it and the kids too.
Nice track of land! Question is are you up to the challenge and move. Good luck either way! Stay safe over there!
Well all they work will keep my heart young. Lots to think about.
Wow Brian, that is an awesome piece of land, I wish I was of an age I could undertake something like that on but at nearly 70 that time has passed for me. Now... if it was in a warmer location I could probably make it work but my arthritis would eat me up in the cool wet climate there. Whatever you choose, looking forward to your future projects and you getting the sawmill going, good luck and all the best for the future.
Thank you Paul. At 52, I think it could be finished long before I hit 60.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead I say, go for it!!!
You had me sold when you said a bigger garden
Ha
That property was nice.
To me getting the outside
work like sealing the walls
of the house and clear the
land and making good road
to the beach. But you do
a good tractor for all that.
The inside work you could
do at your own pace. You
could make it livable while
you work on everything.
Of course that's you'll
decision.
We finally made our decision
Looks very nice 👌 be a lot of work though but yall's ain't got nothing but time think real hard 🤔
That’s the truth. Thanks Brian.
Check how bad the sea state gets in moderate winds...Landing craft often don't do well in big sloppy seas.. I wanted a Svensen Ldg craft but got a North River instead because I have to deal with ig Water sometimes. That big sugar scoop of a bow can cause problems in big eas.
You are right. Stay tuned for Wednesdays video. I think you’ll like our decision.

Thank you LeRoy
looking again i may get this place My Self . for the summers there :)
It is a really nice place and built very well.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead it sure is i looked at the video 3 times :) love it it may take a few days to talk her in to it but i will not that she will . its where i wanna be in the summers at 71 hug :) looking in to it lets you know ;) let my type O lol
Hard decision to make, both places are beautiful with an awesome view of the water and those whales..
It is a tough one.
If you can squeeze it, I'd buy it...the cleanup would be work...the house is "almost" complete and the dry qall and tools are there.. be a nice step up
It’s definitely a great place.
Cool, but lots of work to be done to get this awesome location up to snuff, IMO...But Brian and Diana, it's your decision that counts here, obviously we will follow you not matter what you decide....
Thank you Frederick, it’s definitely a hard decision to make. It’s my dream property but we’d be further away from my wife’s folks and our friends here on the island.
You can side with sitka spruce, just put Pro-Lux on it....Don't ask me how I know...Also check into your free use timber.
😂 very interesting
great property. you would have a grand adventure for sure. the only downfall would be leaving the community you have built on your present property but thats why the word Visit was made. good luck on making this next life choice.
Thank you Matt.
Bro, property like that would be a dream come true for me but I am not sure at my age I would want to start over. Lots and lots of work. Good luck on whatever you decide but those mosquitos.....
Ha I think once the brush is cleared the mosquitoes will thin out. Man, it’s actually my dream property. So remote and secluded.
I’m right in that boat with ya buddy. Damn, but the opportunities missed.
if you dont live it nature takes it back.... how cool
That’s the truth, looking out that window and seeing all those little saplings 3-4 foot tall. It does t take long.
That looks like a massive undertaking for older folks. That would be a great place for young new homesteaders.
It’s my dream location but it’s a little bit out of our price range and we’d be starting over.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead HAHAHAHAHA! Jon called you “old!”
Who's "old"? Ppl in Alaska are robust, hard working, and full of life, just ask them..lol
With the Economy the way it is. Is it really smart to buy that place.
@@russellwatters5891 😂
Beautiful property, with a little more than TLC, but within a year it'd be real nice. Rip off and replace, like "some assembly required".. Love ya'll ❤️
😂 yes some assembly required.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead think of all the new videos ya'll could make...😜🤪
That place need a major overhaul
It does need some TLC.
That could be a really pretty place. But I will be 65 this year, and when I look at something like it I just think there’s no way I could begin to tackle something like that. Myself, I think I like your place but just a couple of neighbors you can get to if you needed to.
That’s the big decision, not being so close to our friends and family.
Wow Brian , I’m surprised . I feel you are a competent couple who can make it work . Big job . All the best . I’ll stick with you regardless.
Thank you Robert. It’s the property I see in my dreams but a lot to give up here just to start over there.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead You proven you are man enough to get it done Bri , it looks like a long term project , but so is the place that you are in now , my ,unsolicited advice is really listen to LULU , us tough old basterd can handle anything , it’s going to be excellent anyway you choose .
@@robertlemoine3500 that’s great advice
It sure is a beautiful setting. The one thing that would make me hesitate is how far away emergency medical facilities are, but your current location has a similar issue. Once I turned 50 I started thinking about Stuff like this.
Yeah, Hoonah has a doctor and dental place but not a hospital. You’d have to go there and then get flown to Juneau or Anchorage for anything serious.
Why do you want to move? To capitalise on the property market in order to get a bigger place? Do you need a bigger place? Maybe need new challenges? It’s hard work- packing and moving! Those high ceilings will need a lot of heating in winter. I love your current home. You both have done a lot of hard work there. It has better waterfront and access. Mmmm put down pluses & minuses on paper before you make the right decision. Don’t let emotions and dreams overshadow reality. Don’t rush into it. Wishing you well Brian and Diane. Will keep watching your channel xxoo
Thank you, we are definitely taking our time and weighing the pros and cons. Either way, it’s not an easy decision.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead totally agree. Also those water catchment areas in the property are a good breeding ground for mosquitoes
You guys got this this would be a wonderful place for you guys to retire at if you ever did decide to retire
Ha that’s true.
I miss seafood so much and I am about 500 yards away from it it cost to much for a license just to get shell fish years ago they wore separate licenses You use to get a shellfish license from the post office it was $2.00 a year lol Wow now you have to get a Salmon license even if you don't fish and the time I use 1 is winter so you get like 2 or 3 months out of a license
That’s a bummer. Luckily for me Alaska gives free fishing and hunting licenses to disabled veterans. It saves us $35 a year. Every little bit helps.
Ya think ya got it in ya to start over again ???? Lotta work that new place would take....Potential is awesome but your comfortable now.....Decisions , decisions .....Stay safe, be well
That’s the truth. We’d be starting over basically but it a dream location.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead Well, will be interested in what happens....Im guessing you stay put, but what the hell do i know.....Be well

I know.
Bro! That place is pert near perfect. I am going to put my vote in now. That's a big Hell Yeah from me. I sure hope it works out for you. Just think of all the new adventures and projects you would have. I am excited for you. Side note, we are embarking on the drive from the 48 to Alaska, starting on Independence Day. In 2 weeks, the BigDirty will be an Alaskan! Been a long time coming, and your family has definitely inspired mine to make the leap. Thank you.

@@thebshumate man that’s a good jumping off point. Big city though.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead yeah, we are backed up against Bicentennial Park and the Chugach State Park. As close as we could get and still be in town.
@@thebshumate nice
i love this place . if my wife was not so sick. at 71 love to own it :)
I hear you, I love that property too.
@@AnAlaskaHomestead :)
That's a nice place! Unfortunately, that cabin would be a huge time suck! I don't understand why anyone would use sheetrock in a climate like that! I've watched your latest video and think you made the right decision. My back hurts just thinking of all the work that that place still needs! :)
😂 I hear you, my back hurts thinking about it too.
Wow !!! After all the work you've done, the improvements etc etc, and then to be shown/look at this property, I do not envy the decision you are making. I did, however, over hear 4 mosquitoes screaming and yelling about new blood. Be careful out there.
It was a tough one but we’ve finally made our decision.
If the price is right.
It’s close to right. We wouldn’t be debt free anymore. We’d have to borrow some money to get it.
It all boils down to money. The amount of time and material it is going to take To bring this place up to snuff. With the short seasons you have you have limited time every year To get this place workable. I am not trying to be negative But I know how many years of constant work lies ahead if you buy this property. It has taken me 30 years to get my rural property where it is today,and the work as you know never ends. Ask yourself do you really need a house that big And how much wood it is going to take to heat it. I am sure you will make the right decision
We’ve thought long and hard on this and have made our decision. It all bikes down to dollars and cents. On Wednesday we talk about our decision and how we got to it.
It looks like a lifetime of work has been completed. You're living the dream now , do you want all this work at you're age is the question .
Ha not really but man it’s such a great place. Since we bought the tractor the heavy lifting has become a lot easier. It’s definitely doable.
that is a much larger project and there is lots to do, if you do move, it would make for a few years of great videos.....because there is still so much to do, i would offer half-of-asking price, and then see what happens..................quite often, when a seller is motivated to move-along, and there is little interest, they will sell cheap...i would consider that shallow bay though, that could be a significant hindrance to timely transport, but also, you use that, and every other detraction and potential expenditure, (like finishing the structures etc) as purchasing leverage. in real-estate, YOU are the master, do not be hesitant to expect, demand, and require allowances, and if they do not concede, then just wait...........after some time on the market, all of a sudden, the realtor will call you up and ask in you are still interested.......good luck Alaska
Yeah lots to do and we’d like to build a small log cabin at some point. I think that would be really cool.
Brian, if you sell your place in order to buy the new place, remember your place IS TURNKEY. You can and should ask an arm and a leg for it. That can go a long way towards paying for the new place.
Thanks Jay. We’ve made our decision and I think it’s a good one.
Oh gosh! Beautiful..I'd love to be there but...How amazing you can live your dream and have each other to share it with and love the same things! P.S. dogs too lol The bears would be the nay nay although there are blacks here, but the thought of contending with a grizzly or Kodiak, alone...nope what a wonderful opportunity and to have the man show you, tell you his dream wow...😯😳😫😵💫😵
Yeah he really started something special. It’s a really rough decision.
Would be a rough decision, your place already is wonderful to me! And mosquitos bad at the other place might be worse than bears. Wonder why they are so bad up north? Canada too, kindof odd
@@diannawilliams761 good question.
How much are they looking for ? Come on guys, that’s what we all want to know. Grazie for everything, love the videos.
Thank you David. It was too much for us😂
I hope you buy it.

@@AnAlaskaHomestead Good luck
Don't do it . Regardless of what's there. There's still a done of work and $$$$ to be spent. The yard maintenance looks to be triple to what you guys have. We started with bare forest and it's been costly adventure. We did look at several semi finished property's . And felt for the end outcome financially we choose to do our own .
Yes lots of work out there that’s for sure.
Great video

@@AnAlaskaHomestead your living my dream to old to to it now :) but i did love Alaska !
It is a beautiful spot but that needs so much work! How much further is it from parents?
It’s about 2 hours by boat.
My question is... Can't you build a small pier for your boats? Also my god I'm never going to be able to afford any property in my life time. But you definitely should consider this purchase. It's absolutely beautiful...
Remote property is going at a high rate right now but that also means we could get a good return our ours as well.
That asking price seems quite steep but it would be an awesome project. You couldn't say you lived on an island any more though.
Remote property is getting premium $$ right now. So the good news is we’d get a big return when we sold our place. We already have a neighbor who wants to buy if we decide to move.
Ha true we’d on the mainland.
Where did you see the asking price ?
Fixer upper? Large cabin? Surrounded by National forest? Secluded? Large garden area? I may be a bit biased here Brian and Dianna but I’d say do it! But the mosquitoes are INSANE!! 😁
This is really the perfect place for us.
Hi brian..i like your videos .i was wondering are there animals living on the island?
We do have mink, Martin, otters, deer and the occasional bear comes by. That’s on the island we presently live on.
Way too much to finish for the price. Beautiful views, though.
