Hey all! My wife and I have begun exploring the idea of a modified homestead and we greatly desire to remove ourselves from our suburban
mortgage and purchase
land that we can build a small house on. Our two thoughts are reducing our debt (paying for the house in cash and buying only as much land as we can pay off in a relatively short period of time). Given the astronomical price of land in Southeastern PA (Bucks County, Montgomery County, etc) this thought is proving to be rather difficult.
As many of our most fruitful endeavors have started, we hope to make a personal connection with someone first who currently owns land that can be subdivided. We would be looking for no more than 5 acres of land. We would build a small dwelling and tend the land responsibly. Our goal of
course would be a high level of self-sufficiency, stewarding the land, and beginning our family as close to Nature as possible.
If you know anyone who would be open to a conversation that might help point us in the right direction, we would welcome any and all thoughts!
Please let me know if you need more information - thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
