Homestead Tour - 2019 Tour of our 41 Acre Homestead
We have been fixing up our property for 4 years now and making it our homestead. We still have lots of work ahead of us to build everything we want to have here. But today, lets take a tour of the areas we are currently using on our 41 acre property and maybe see some things you haven't seen before.

We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acres homestead. We just finished building our log cabin overlooking our pond. We are trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey living the rural life and developing our property and becoming more self sufficient.

I'm happy I found this one. Pretty much my dream place other than the 73 acre farm I grew up on. You're going to do great, Evan.
Wow, my dream in an 18min video. Some day I will find my homestead. Enjoy.
Nice you didn't torture us with music
Really like your channel. Your Great Granddad would be proud. That is a great story about your family owning the land. You will have a great life on the property. The shooting range is right up my alley. Good luck
An island of sanity, in a frenzied world. Great !
Evan, excellent tour of the homestead. The possibilities are endless and will leave you both with enough work to occupy all your spare time. Thanks again
awesome homestead! Thanks for the tour. For me the best part is the property buffer from other people moving in next door....must be a very freeing feeling.
Wow, great homestead! Definitely inspiring
You've done a great job updating this property! Congratulations and best wishes on any future projects.
You guys are doing a great job on that property. Definitely cool thing to find it was in the family at one point.
Thanks for the tour. You've turned that old farm around.
WATCHED all of your u-tube videos ,love the House you 2 have done a GREAT JOB! GOOD LUCK IN ALL YOU DO.
Wow. Really cool that it was previously in your family.
Your property is beautiful. Really like how you used the space. Really live the barn set up. The shooting range is awesome to see.
Nice tour, Evan. First time you gave us a look at the old shallow well. Beautiful drone footage.
This channel is a great pleasure for me, a farm life of the sort my family lived, also in southern Illinois, from the 1920s to about 1950, and where I spent summers as I grew up in the suburban world of St Louis. How I wish I could have bought a farm forty years ago!
Thanks for the tour. Really enjoy your homestead.
I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of your lovely homestead.
Wow you have an amazing homestead. I never realized it was that big. I'm sure they're going to be many new projects to come. Thanks so much for the video, Jimmy
You have a beautiful homestead, thanks for the tour.
Thanks for the tour! In Wisconsin, most bank barns are the gambrel roof'd dairy barns. Milking parlor in the bottom and hay storage up above with a silo or two attached to the side. Very interesting to see buildings from different areas and how they were used. I like the way you have long term plans for everything and just keep chipping away at it.
Always like seeing your place. You’ve put in a lot of work!
Fabulous land, bank barn, fruit trees, and absolutely everything. So beautiful 😍
Your property has so much potential, and you've done so much already!!!
Thanks for this great tour of your place. How fortunate you are to live and work on a place like this (which you and your wife have created with your hard work). I've been watching your channel for a couple of months and this tour helps me put things in perspective. I love this channel.
I’ve been watching your channel for a couple months now and was wondering about how it all started. Thank you for the history. 👍👍

I can’t
The area in the add on to the bank barn was where they used to Farrow hogs. Would also work for when your goats are kidding.

Farrowing pens for any livestock is my opinion also. Peace
Thank you for sharing. A great summary of your homestead, even for us old-timers. You have done a wonderful job, worked hard and have earned everything you have.
Beautiful, y’all have done a lot of work. I am going to use the garden fabric this year. . 2020
You have a beautiful property. It’s also wonderful to have a family connection to the land.
Over 2 mins in commercials. I like it, it says were growing and need funds to help the footage improve. I am more than willing to watch them too for a taste of a dream that I too have :) Thanks for sharing bub.
Nice that you have a familial connection to your property
Beautiful beautiful homestead! Love watching all your video! Living the dream! Thanks Evan!!
Thanks for the tour... Looks great....
Beautiful piece of heaven y'all have there. I like the idea of everything being spread out like that. I really enjoy your channel and everything you've done to your property. I'm a new sub to your channel and found you when I was looking for Cabin builds. I started watching you build your house and had to go back and catch up from when you started with this property and just fell in love with the story. now I watch every video you put out and can't wait to see what is coming next.
Evan and Rebecca, You journey reminds me of my childhood on my grandparents dairy farm. Three uncles were dairy farmers as well and we kids enjoyed making hay and harvesting stuff from grandfather's massive garden. IMHO you are amazing and heroic as animals do not care for themselves nor does the land. Thank you for your vlog and appreciate very much all your work and dedication especially while keeping down full time jobs. Courage!
Beautiful place. I look forward to watching it grow.
Congratulations for keeping this farm within the family - keep doing what you do - very inspiring.
I watched every one of your house building videos. And by the end I was wishing that I knew the story of your land. Cool there was already such a video!
You are a blessed man!
What a Great property, and its coming along nicely
Thanks for the tour you have made some great updates.
Great tour of your property Evan, alway enjoy seeing what you and Rebekah have been doing around there. Keep up the good work and videos and thanks for sharing with us.
Nice. Wish i was ready to have a place like that hopefully soon. God bless your life
Beautiful piece of property, congratulations , your hard work is paying off
I haven't seen this subscription in about 4 years at least. I remember when you lived in the camper and were just moving into the property, the trouble you had with fixing up the drive. Good to see the progress, know it is a lot of work, but a labor of love. Good tour, nice video.
I added your channel name to several channels I follow in the comments. Hopefully some of them found you 👏
You are making great progress on your homesteaThanks for sharing.
You guys have come a long way, I remember when it was all just junk piles. Place looks great! Almost time for the 2020 goals video and 2019 recap.

You are right, I better check my goals, I am sure I haven't completed them all.
So fun watching your aussies - we have 2 as well- ours are from same parents different litters. Best dogs ever!
Thank you for the tour, Evan. The thing I like best is that, you have kept it looking like an old working farm. I am sure a lot of your followers are envious of you and your place. I know I am. Art in CA
Thanks for sharing a catch-up video for your long time viewers and also your new subscribers. I washed all your hard work as a long-time subscriber. Always something to do down on the farm!
Thank you for the walk around I'm new love your property
I love your place, it's beautiful! Blessings from Tennessee.
Really nice place you have! Thanks for the tour!
This is my first time seeing your whole property from an aerial view. It's beautiful.
Having watched a few of your other videos, Now I can picture what you're trying to do. You're a real inspiration.
After watching many of your videos (catch up Binging) great to see the tour, Thanks
What a beautiful spot, and lucky you getting rain....
Love it 😊 thank you very much for sharing your place It’s beautiful
So beautiful
Love the way your setting up your farm :)
Nice, Hope the channel continues to grow. Good to see folks build the life desired!
very nice place you have thanks for bringing it back as a farm God bless
Wow!!! Your property is amazing
Awesome place, love the house and animals.
I love it. Now I need a pond!
Just recently found your channel. You have such a beautiful place!
I did enjoy the tour, beautiful 💫
Man, you have a beautiful Homestead. That was a great find. Love your channel. You'll getter wupped into shape. Looking forward to see it in a few years. So far I've enjoyed you and your wife working together. She seems to be well prepared for the journey. Kind regards, wish you both the best.
Hi...... Country View Acres, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍
It’s a wonderful homestead. You’ve done a lot of good work to it. The shrubs can be added to a composting area.
You have so much structure that you got with your acreage and we got no structure. Absolutely a blessing. We purchased our 36 acres of brush and cactus 13 months ago. We now have electricity, soon will have a water well and we have cleared most of the brush to sprig some grass and our creek crossing is almost done. We hope to start our 2,000 Sq Ft 1 bed room house soon. I love your pond. We will never have one like that as we don't get the rain and our land isn't rolling. All of that said, I appreciate your tour!!! Your doing an awesome job.
its awesome seeing you reach 20 K subs I dont even remember when I started watching your videos binge watchet them all but its certainly before rabbits times :D
I am for the pond the most because that is what I need
well done Evan lots to see
looking so good!!
Years ago I saw when you first got that land. WOW ! It looks SOOOOO much better and you have done soooo much to improve it. Congratulations on a fantastic farm !
Dave Ramsey, hmmm. The homestead is a masterpiece . I am so happy for you guys. Enjoy your blessings.

Yes Dave Ramsey. We got out of debt, paid off our house, saved money for a couple years. Bought our property, went back in debt. Sold our house moved to country, went back out of debt. Build dream home, went back into debt. But the mortgage is our only debt now. Couldn't have done it without being debt free and saved money before hand. We still do a monthly budget and follow the Dave Ramsey plan.

@@CountryViewAcres That is good debt. Debt with a plan, Not impulse buying commercialism. The discipline to pull it off is commendable. What an awesome example for your sons. Genesis 11:6.
Congrats on surpassing 20,000 subscribers.
The add on to the barn is a calf barn. thanks for the video. al
Glad I found this video. I too have clay soils and am just about ready to plant some fruit trees. I now know what to do. Thank you!
Gorgeous property. I am on the search for something familiar. Thank you for the tour and i love how you have everything set up. Scrolling through your videos i have a lot of the same interests and tastes as you. Great video and excited for more in the future. I found your channel from the video of you mowing the old grown up pasture. I currently have my eye on a property that has been neglected for 5+ years and is growing up. I am planning on setting up a spot similar to yours over the years. Now i want a pond thanks to your videos. Lol. I think a mower like yours will suit me just fine. Keep up the great videos.Josh
Absolutely beautiful property
Between you and Nancy and Hollis on youtube I can't decide which homestead I want the most. I think it will be a combination of both. You have a lovely place. Definitely something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing.
Holy cow! That's amazing! Your great, great grandfather owned YOUR property! How incredible.
Hey from KY! Thanks for the tour. You have a beautiful piece of Heaven there. Awesome and alot of hard work you have done so far. We live on a farm too. Glad I found this video. I will for sure be watching more.
Thanks for finally showing us the back part of the barn. A lot of potential back there. More animals and machinery storage. Free run for cattle or horses? I love your property and what you have done so far.
Beautiful property! Love the channel and keep the content coming!
Love your farm ! Would really enjoy watching you clean up around the pond , maybe plant some cat-tails and a weeping willow or two for shade . could also build yourself a small pier .
Fantastic video. Incredible job you have done on the property. Very, very impressive. Thumb's UP. Thanks.
Wowwwwww i love your place. It's beautiful!!
good looking place. I love the pond
What a nice place !!! Your doing great work !..I'll be watching now that I found you ....God Bless you and yours....
Very nice! You’ve come so far!
We just bought a 44 acre ranch. We are looking to do something similar! Fantastic video. I am so happy for you! Congratulations on reclaiming the land back into the family. You could take a metal detector out and possible find something your great grandfather owned and used.
I would love 41 acres . Love the way you have it laid out
Wow! you are very lucky sir! Great inspiration!
damn, so cool that you have an actual pond for your ducks to swim in, they must be so happy doing their thing. :)
