You guys are just down the road from us. I'm afraid we are partial to Tennessee. We love it here.. You're also not that far from Nashville if you decide to take in the city.. Lynn and Danny
Looks great. I would recommend adding riprap to the RV spots. As I remember you had severe erosion initially and those spots look steep to me. Good luck and enjoy!
You are very wise for putting up gates on your property and posting purple. We visit Missouri quite a bit and heard sad stories of "squatters" ruining vacation spots......even breaking into homes & cabins and just trashing them. So sad. This looks awesome. We love to kayak. However have never ventured down to the Buffalo. I would love to meet you guys in person one day. That would be awesome !!! I really enjoy your channel and adventures.
Congratulations on finishing your slice of Heaven. I used to camp with my parents in New Hampshire under pine trees, and I know the sounds and smells, it's the best. The fifth wheel looks right at home. Oh I love the name, what a great tribute to the trees.
You two are the sweetest couple! I enjoy your videos & congrats on your beautiful new homesite. Please forgive me in being an overprotective fan when I mention that you may want to remove your private address from the video - not everyone is as wonderful as you, your neighbors & fans...
White Water Rafting... without the White Water.. LOL.. You are MY Kind of people. 🤣 🛶⚓️. My thinking is... RVing is fun BUT... sometimes you just need a SAFE haven to STOP and restore. Looks like You've found your haven. So happy for you.
Looks nice Jen and Mike but I might think about getting some grass planted it will significantly reduce erosion. Maybe even some native grasses. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
Congratulations Sooo happy for you both. Enjoy your piece of heaven. We have a 5 acre Parcel in Alaska. It was part of 20 acres. That we sold . Our job took us on another Journey in 3 other states. That are so different from where we are from. I miss all the trees & water. Congratulations again.
Love your place! Congratulations on a fine site. May see you someday as we are selling our home and looking for place to start with our motorhome. Thanks Larry and Claudia
Hey guys, we love keeping up with your progress on the site ! Would you mind sharing with us who you ended up using for your well, and what depth they had to drill to reach water ?
Hi i really like your RV Base Camp ⛺️. I have to ask… any plans to set up some HF dipoles in those trees? So you have some ham radio infrastructure ready to go?
Grt8 ur able to enjoy ur golden yrs. Yeah seniors do enjoy tranquility and can't stand the hassle of city life. Ur investing a lot of money into a rv retreat. $200k is a lot without a house. Not to mention a new rv rig & truck eventually. That's more like $400K. Would be a nice house somewhere. It's a big country we live in probably could find a similar set up elsewhere. Tornadoes and ice storms there. Plus seniors need to be close to a hospital. Previous generations had the same idea. Inflation is bad probably not an ideal time to purchase.
You guys are great advertisers for the company selling the parcels. After you purchase a parcel what is the cost to add the hookups and gravel drive and pads?
So happy for you, beautiful site. Love the perfect name you have chosen. Great work, love your videos. Perfect distance from wonderful Nashville! Wonderful Buffalo River! Hope you take a lot of time to enjoy your site, can't believe how hard the two of you work and I'm sure I don't know the half of it. Best Wishes!!!
Congratulations! Its been so fun to watch your journey! We recently switched from a travel trailer to a class C. We live alittle over an hour north of there. My husband's dad grew up in Linden! How do you get info about meetups? I enjoy your videos.
Wonderful spot. Congratulations on the move in to Loblolly Ridge:-). I'm looking forward to more videos made here and about the region. I've followed you all around the country and this is one more interesting, educational chapter. Thank you for generously sharing so much. Do you still have the Florida vacation property as well?
This is amazing! So truly happy for you both nice folks. When you noted how much your taxes are, I nearly fell over! Here in So. New Hampshire our real estate taxes are $8,000/year...I need to rethink my life :)
I hear you Diane... NH property taxes are not cheap... however.. 2 good points are.. there is no income tax OR sales tax here. So, a good place for raising a family and for one's working years... maybe just not for retirement. For retirement in NH... think downsized house... some SOLAR to augment the power grid, and a wood stove. NH definately has its good points.
Looks great! Bo (Beau) looks right at home and loves that river too. Are you able to walk in the woods-make trails? How is the winter there? Thanks for showing and enjoy your place!!
We are intrigued! Do you have an all in price or will they give us an honest answer at the sales office? Also, what is the bugs, humidity, heat situation? Are there any negatives you have experienced yet?
I have to say, the sales company is a little suspect. I contacted them back in March. They require you to visit on a specific day. They tell you the properties will all sell out on that day. I couldn’t make the date so they offered a different location to view on a different date. Same pitch, they will all sell out on that date. I couldn’t make that date either. Every month since the same pitch is made for the two different locations.
@@drtjrmd That's the way they sell. And believe me, they sell. These lots go very fast. Lots of demand. They've been very straight with us and everyone else we know who bought.
Beautiful spot, and yes I was getting sleepy just seeing how peaceful it all looks! Congrats from an RV wannabe (we are a couple in our mid-60’s/early 70’s.). Is it too late for us to start RV life, at least part time? We live in the capital of Canada, and know all too well the harsh winters we get and I learn to be a nomad - at least part of the year! We have downsized about 7 months ago, to an apartment (a very nice 2 bed/2bath), from our house. So RV’ing is something I’d like to try. Any suggestions from either of you are greatly appreciated! Again, congrats on your new property!
I noticed a couple people asked about development cost. Electric set up, septic set up, water set up and development of your road plus gravel. Is there a reason why you won’t answer what the cost was for you?
It varies widely from lot to lot. What I spent is different than what others will spend. I didn’t need a well. We had city water out front. But new lots don’t have that. A well costs $11K and up. But I have a very long circular drive. That cost a lot. I have a septic system big enough for a three bedroom house. Others won’t go that big. I installed my electric underground. Others do overhead. We put in three RV pads. Most do one or two. So my expenses are a lot more than most. In general, You can figure 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of the land will be needed for installation of your utilities, excavation and development. In our case we’re over that 50 percent figure. We paid full price for the land at $89.900. My total expenses for development to date will be close to $50K when a fence we’re having built is complete. That’s just us. We are very much on the high side. But we want this to be our special getaway do we have splurged.
Your setup looks great. Unfortunately, I think you need to put up no trespassing sign so if some person wonders onto your land uninvited, gets hurt and tries to sue you, the sign is exhibit 1 before case dismissed. But I'm not a lawyer, so you might want to double check that. Also, quit telling people how great it is here. The state is getting pretty crowded.
For 80k, I believe I could go to my favorite campsite and pay for years and still won't use up that 80k in my lifetime. Just a different take on your subject. Thanks for your video!
Perhaps... but that would be money spent. If one finds their own piece of land to settle then that could turn into a decent investment. Also consider... when the pandemic hit ... many camp grounds were forced to close. Plus some camp grounds don't allow rigs over 10 years old. I guess either way there can be issues.
We have more details, photos, and info about this in an accompanying article on our RV Lifestyle blog at rvlifestyle.com/our-private-rv-land/
What was the total cost of building the driveway, septic tank, drilling well, and utility?
Being from the Midwest, often the epicenter for tornados, my concern would be weather.
🌺 Oh my gosh!
I love everything ❤️
Perfect Name
Congratulations on your new slice of heaven.
I was waiting for you guys to reverse off the edge
That would have made a great blooper 😆
You guys are just down the road from us. I'm afraid we are partial to Tennessee. We love it here.. You're also not that far from Nashville if you decide to take in the city.. Lynn and Danny
Thank you for telling me about the color paint on the tree. I had no idea!
Looks great. I would recommend adding riprap to the RV spots. As I remember you had severe erosion initially and those spots look steep to me. Good luck and enjoy!
You are very wise for putting up gates on your property and posting purple. We visit Missouri quite a bit and heard sad stories of "squatters" ruining vacation spots......even breaking into homes & cabins and just trashing them. So sad. This looks awesome. We love to kayak. However have never ventured down to the Buffalo. I would love to meet you guys in person one day. That would be awesome !!! I really enjoy your channel and adventures.
Awesome. So happy for you. Such a temptation to do the same. Beautiful area.
Very Nice video folks ! Congrats on your slice of heaven and thanks for the tour !
I Love your Sign for your property.
It thrills me on your Happy Gathering Place...It's a super location. Home base like that makes Rving amazing.
Love your beautiful site. That sign is a work of art.
Yes we are really pleased with the sign. It came from www.benchmarksignsandgifts.com/
They do really good work.
Congratulations on completion of Phase 1, I love the name, and wish you much happiness amongst the pines. Thank you for sharing.

My thoughts exactly
Yes. Bad guys travel nowadays.
looks good I like the wood sign nice touch
Happy for you.Enjoy the peacefullness.
Congratulations! Loblolly Ridge looks so inviting! 🌄
Congratulations 🎊 👏 💐 guys.

Looks nice Jen and Mike but I might think about getting some grass planted it will significantly reduce erosion. Maybe even some native grasses. Keep the good stuff coming guys.
What a beautiful setting. Love the name you chose. I wish you many happy times there.
There is a electric gate opener for farm gates like you have and they aren't very expensive! I saw them at tractor supply I think?
Real nice!!! You’re making me dream a little today!
Great choice on the property name!
Love the name Loblolly Ridge! Congratulations!
Congratulations! Bo looks very happy🐶🙋♀️🇨🇦
Awesome video enjoy your new home and journey
How wonderful!!! Thank you for showing this. What a blessing to get a property like this in a location like this.
Loblolly pines make beautiful floors
Very very nice ! Congrats 😊👍👍👍👍👍
Wow, congratulations! It's absolutely beautiful.
Congratulations
Sooo happy for you both.
Enjoy your piece of heaven. We have a 5 acre Parcel in Alaska. It was part of 20 acres. That we sold . Our job took us on another Journey in 3 other states. That are so different from where we are from. I miss all the trees & water.
Congratulations again.
Started following you two back in the Roadtrek days…would have never guessed you would be so close to where I grew up, Waverly, Tn.
Thanks Mike and Jen. I made a mistake not buying a lot there when they were moderately priced. Your site looks really nice!
What were the starting prices?
Really enjoyed your video! Your site looks wonderful.
I've always heard that purple on a tree or fence post meant no hunting. Could be a distinction without a difference.
Means No Trespassing No Hunting Private Property all in one.
Love your place! Congratulations on a fine site. May see you someday as we are selling our home and looking for place to start with our motorhome. Thanks Larry and Claudia
It's beautiful! Love those gorgeous pines! Congratulations to you both!
What a wonderful video. Congratulations
Awesome acquisition. Smart choice as an RVer
Did they talk to you about control burns? Loblolly need fire to release their seeds.
Beautiful! Enjoy! You're living right!
Looks like you've come a long way, and now have a great retreat. Congrats!!
So happy for you both.
Wonderful review and setup. May you have many enjoyable and peaceful years there
Coming in this Saturday 9/3 to buy our future retirement land!
Good for you guys enjoy.
Thanks for the tour! So happy for you both!
Congratulations, looks beautiful.
So happy for y’all. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others.
Hey guys, we love keeping up with your progress on the site ! Would you mind sharing with us who you ended up using for your well, and what depth they had to drill to reach water ?
We didn't need a well. City water was available for us to tap into on the country road that fronts our property.
@@RVLifestyle interesting. The land agent from woodlands led us to believe ALL water was via Wells.
@@thepacketnarc7634 It probably is now because all the lots on our road have been sold
Best Wishes to you both look so happy 🤗
Hi i really like your RV Base Camp ⛺️. I have to ask… any plans to set up some HF dipoles in those trees? So you have some ham radio infrastructure ready to go?
Beautiful! Congrats!!
Really nice video. Look forward to meeting you guys sometime soon! Our place at The Woodlands is named Red Hound Ridge!
So happy that your dreams have come true! Karen from Michigan.

What’s the average price for a complete set up like this
Happy for you two!!
You guys are great advertisers for the company selling the parcels. After you purchase a parcel what is the cost to add the hookups and gravel drive and pads?
Figure 1/3 to 1/2 the cost you paid for the land.

Yes. We are in Florida right now but heading back to Tennesee next week.
Your site(s) looks very nice! I hope you and your guests get to enjoy life in God’s beautiful creation among the pines for many years!
Beautiful!❤️

Very nice!

is the land value spiking here now,?
Beautiful
How much do the tall trees affect the use/effectiveness of the solar panels? Was there much damage from the recent bad rain storms/floods?
No bad wind or floods here. We're up high so flooding is not an issue here. And we have a clearing for the spots where we camp offering lots of sun.
Beautiful spot, and yes I was getting sleepy just seeing how peaceful it all looks! Congrats from an RV wannabe (we are a couple in our mid-60’s/early 70’s.).

How are the winters there?
they are chilly... not a lot of snow... it melts the same day.
What are you considering for Phase 2
We havent started thinking about that... just kicking back and enjoying this fora few weeks.
About how much did it take to develop the site to its finished status?
A lot of TH-cam money
We live in Lobelville. Hello neighbors.

Do you do Star Link for Internet or another service?
You must not have watched. We discussed in the video.
@@RVLifestyle yes I watched the whole video. I wrote the question before it came to the starling part. That was my error.
