I think people underestimate how much the land matters before they ever build
The more I look at rural properties, the more I realize the actual house is almost the easy part.
It's the land that surprises me.
One property has no legal access. Another looks perfect until you realize the nearest power is miles away. Then there's the place that's beautiful but sits in a floodplain, or the one where the driveway is basically a creek every time it rains.
I don't even own a homestead yet, but I've spent way too much time looking at listings and county maps, and it's made me appreciate how much planning goes into choosing the right piece of land.
For those of you already homesteading, what was the biggest thing about your land that you didn't fully appreciate until after you bought it?
