    You don't kid around. "Bought some new property for investment." BAM!! Driveway cut out and graveled. BAM!! Area cleared and waiting for action. ALL in 1.5 days. Great job. Stay safe and God bless!

    That land was definitely cleared back in the 1830s. The stone walls are a dead giveaway. You would remove all the stones from your fields and stack them in walls or sometimes just big rock piles. It was either farm fields or pasture most likely. Crazy how nature takes back over so fast.

      Yep. I bought an old farm and there were three stands of trees about 100 yards long each. On inspection I found each stand was a pile of field stones that the trees grew up through over the decades.

    When I was a youngster...I would listen to stories told by old men while they would be talking to my father..! My father drove truck, as did some of those others. They talked about how they had bought random properties within their travels. Then, years later, during the convention, tell how small their investments was, had paid off by big companies/ housing communities wanting, needing the property to build...! So, I made a decision too, when I got older to be able to buy. I too starting buying random properties. In what were places that were are still having growth.
    Now mind you, this is not for myself, (I am now 66 years old), I was doing this for my son and my grandson, to own after I died for their futures. Well, I lost my son to a tragic crime, so it is now my grandsons. So, I have been trying to set him up, he's now 21 years old. To not have to go through the struggles that most at his age are facing with housing, financial struggles that I even suffered while young, wondering where they will be living, should they loss a job. All someone needs to do is pay the property taxes and you have a place to "be"..!
    I am hoping in the coming 20 years he too is able to profit...from the gift I am giving him...or at the every least live more stress free.
    Land does not evaporate...it is constant...and can not be taken away as long as the taxes are paid..."invest" people...God Bless America" and your right to own more that a phone or a car...!

    Those upright square columns are the corner stones of the grave yard. They would make up a rectangle, 3 of them are still upright and the fourth is leaning down, but sill in the earth. So all of that land was probably cleared at one point which makes sense since the remnants of a stone wall and house foundation are still very visible.

    The more videos I see Letsdig18, Camaratas, & coming across your channel the more I want to get into doing some of my own. I purchased 46.5 thick wooded acres almost a year ago and after getting several bids to clear off 15 acres I decided to purchase a dozer to clear myself and sell after completion. It’s been a slow work in progress as well as a learning curve with no experience running equipment. I’ve come along way since, now I can run the dozer way better as well as work on it as I learned if you run it you have to know how to work on it as well. Recently rented a Link Belt 145x to burn the majority of brush piles and now have 12.6 acres cleared. Me and wife plan on building a barndominium and establishing a small homestead with a few head of cattle in pasture and keeping the back 31 wooded with food plots to hunt. May start a channel the wife is pestering & saying I need to as well.

    I used to dig for old bottles and whatnot at old home sites. People didn't have "the dump" back then. They would throw the trash out back. Have a look if there's a wall nearby they may have thrown it over, or another likely place. Poke around with a shovel, you'll find it. It's fun as hell and you can't stop once you hit "paydirt".😀

When i was your age, i did not look ahead to when i would be retired, for me there was no window ahead for me to do that. I admire you for that Jesse, and in doing so, you are preparing for your kids future. Very sad, the graveyard has been neglected for all these years. I guess all the descendants of those people have also passed on leaving no one to maintain the graveyard.

I knew you'd find something historic on that property but had no idea it would be that family graveyard and foundation. The history runs so deep in New York state it'll be interesting if you learn more - I'm sure old records in the area probably tell about that Gregory family - they must have been very early British settlers there. I do know there was a cholera epidemic in that area at about that time. Thank you for sharing this with us and we're looking forward to more!

    Absolutely awesome piece of property and that's a great retirement plan.
    Given it's odd shape and acreage you can probably build 2 or 3 or even more spec houses on it.
    A 1/2 acre is a darn nice sized lot.
    Those rock walls usually marked property lines.
    There's no doubt that it used to be a farm.
    Given the rolling terrain it most likely was cattle ot other livestock.
    It was definitely logged no more than 80 to 100 years ago (givdn the size of the trees now there) a second time well after the family moved West.
    That was a common occurance later in the 19th century as America grew.
    Rocky ground being less desirable for farming and no adult graves.
    You could research the properties history at your county clerks office or thru your state government.

    Next time take a bucket of water and a soft paint brush so you can brush those tombstones . That way you probably will be able to read all of those inscriptions.
    Because that property is over 200 years old it might be fun to go over the area where buidlings used to be and scan them with a metal detector. Who knows what kind of cool stuf you will find, like old coins or something like that.

    Jesse, I love the journey you are on and would like to see more of this type. I am an engineer that worked in an office my whole career but always have had an affinity for building properties from the ground up. My after work career was in fixing old houses and building horse ranches from scratch. Just retired to do that full time.
    I grew up in Vermont and researched the history of my home town while in high school in the late 60's. Vermont and upstate New York had a very vigorous sheep industry in the early half of the 1800's and almost all useable land was cleared for farms and the sheep industry to feed the textile mills. Vermont was 30% forested in that time period. The sheep industry collapsed mid-century with the advent of the cotton gin in the South and lands opening up in the West. By the late 1960's Vermont had reverted to 70 % forested and think now is approaching 90% forested. There is still a whole town of cellar holes and old stone walls deep in the forest where I grew up that was and is called "No town". Amazing how time changes all.

    Put a bit of paper over them grave stones then use a crayon on its side to colour the paper in. The engraving will appear on the paper and should be easier to read.

    That's kinda neat you found the stones with dates on them. If you take a look around that area must have been pasture or was forested after the stones were in place. Most all of the trees I am seeing are no where near 200 years old.

Looking forward to future videos of you developing it into something many would love to have, pretty amazing price for a beautiful piece of the world. More of this is a welcome addition to your channel and a midi excavator added to your fleet sounds like a real good fit. Keep them coming if you are able, be well.../B

    Hi Jesse. Nice video and thanks for talking about the why behind buying the property. I like your approach to investing in properties and leveraging your knowledge, skill, equipment investments etc. Good job planning for the future. One comment, if you're building the house to sell you may want to really think about your target home buyer before you build something "different" like a green roof. While it sounds great to me it may not be attractive to all buyers. If you limit your target market you may be limiting your potential sale price. I don't know much about green roofs, maybe there's a big demand for them and I'm sure you're doing your homework. Good luck with the build.

    That old stacked stone foundation might be a fun added attraction to the property if it’s not in the way. You could put a hot tub there or perhaps just a cosy place out of the wind. I think your mom could refurbish the stones as needed.
    I’ve never seen vines like that. I was thinking that thick twisted vine would make a cool newel post for a set of stairs or something.
    Looking forward to this series.

    Music is good. I know it takes more time but instead of music during the time lapses, you could talk over the lapse about the machine, the property, the process of the job you are doing, anything you remember about that particular time(hitting a stump or a mess up), anything you care to talk about going on in your life, or anything else. I love any info about anything. Love the content.
