And as you're planning out your property, don't forget to consider snow removal. A 1000' driveway can be tough to plow 50 days a year.

Thanks! Nice to see other KZread creators in Vermont! :) For the driveway, do you mean just the length, as in the shorter the better? Or are there other considerations to make it easier to plow?

I lived in VT for four years. When I tried to use my cell phone, my carrier advised me that I was on “Roaming,” because, ATT, said, I was “in a foreign country”! Cell service would work at the top of a hill, but not at the bottom. But the result of that was, I got to have actual conversations with real people. It’s beautiful, lots of wildlife. And that pine scent! Lovely!

I so love this. The joy you're both expressing is priceless. Huge, huge congrats.

Apologies in advance, but... As hard working native Vermonters, we're finding it harder & harder to find OUR dream property with prices being driven through the roof from deep pocket out of staters coming here and buying everything up.

This is great news!! Many Congratulations!! Yes....it is always great to have a home base! Our ORV that we ordered in January will arrive to CO in September or October. We'll mostly just boondock for 1-2 week trips for the next 5 years. After that, we'll push out for 1-2 month trips. Our home in Ouray is pretty much like a national park; so we'll definitely keep our house and return for a month or so in between trips. And....as in last years pandemic, it is definitely good to have a basecamp to return to. Safe travels!

You two are such an excellent partnership. I love the massive variety of species around you. Congratulations! I've been watching My Self Reliance in Canada. He's built a cabin, a sauna, an outdoor kitchen and a workshop - now he's starting over for a lot of reasons but he began with a greenhouse because he wants to live as much off the land as possible- the point is that you may find his channel of interest as he too has taught himself the skills to make things happen. They just have outhouses now but I think his wife has asked for an indoor bathroom, so we'll see. It certainly appears that you have done your homework and will continue to do so as things move from project to project. Oh, when we bought this house 2 years ago this month, part of the closing was cleaning out the septic tank. He said that it should last indefinitely as there are just 3 of us and no one flushing diapers or dolls or trucks - so we've not done anything to it and it's fine. So exciting!!!!!!!!

This is awesome..............we too have been building a homebase for the last three years, because we are cutting and clearing the land all on our own, and not always does the equipment work as it should. LOL. We had gone through the steps of having blueprints and all of our cabin, but then the COVID hit and it drew the cost up three times before breaking ground, and if we would have spent that we wouldn't be able to travel the way we want, so we dropped those plans and hold the blue prints in hand as a lost dream at this point but went another avenue........Congratulations, and Kudo's for having a level head about the project.

Cabot? Stone walls? Previously farmed, spring tile looks 1900's. Of course Vermont was 70% open farmland 100 years ago and now has reverted back to 70% forested. Retired Vermont forester here, and history buff. Good luck in your new project!

I just discovered this video, and I look forward to watching all of the subsequent videos! I'm from Vermont but never owned land there. T here's a good chance the spruce forest was planted by the CCC in the 1930s. They don't look that old, but Vermont does have a very short growing season, so who knows. Do they seem to be in straight lines and evenly spaced? I've had similar experiences when walking in the woods of Vermont- suddenly a different forest just appears! I hope you find an old stone wall or two, although you probably would have found them already. You seem to have a good idea of the challenges you may encounter, so I hope it's going well!

When you finally live in your home you’ll have this supreme feeling of happiness & satisfaction. Be also ready for your property taxes to go up substantially, unless you go into the current use program….something to think about with the acreage you have, but you have to qualify for it. If your not going to development your average look into it.

Super congrats. Love following you guys. To be honest I enjoyed the NP trips and videos more than VT 😮. That said ....maybe cocktails in Burlington ? We’ll be at North Beach park August 22!!

Congratulations! I'm not in that region of the country and cannot speak from any personal experience, but a friend of mine in the construction-engineering community who knows the Northeast quite well says that, if he was building in that region and didn't want to soak up years of time just to build a new house, he would be considering Unity Homes' service among his options there. I believe they do factory cutting and section assembly of your final design, which is significantly more precise and quick than can be done on-site, and the savings in time and hassle plus that extra quality fit can be worth it. Just in case that info might be of any use...

We actually did a lot of research into Unity Homes a little while ago - they have some really cool stuff! In the end we decided it wasn't right for us, but would highly recommend others to check them out and see for themselves.

FYI we live in Royalton vt, have a camper , welcome, just built a house also!
