We are six years into a seven year effort of transforming 20 acres of "Piney Grove" in Northwest Florida into our dream homestead/mini farm to be filled with animals and joy. We plan to have a variety of miniature critters on our pastures, raise free-range chickens, grow fish in our pond, garden organically, plant fruit and nut trees, and harvest wild game. Our goal is to escape the stresses of corporate life and embrace all that country living has to offer as we enter the next chapter of our lives. Follow along on our journey!

Good Palm Sunday morning! Chad from Doss Farms suggested I visit your site. No one says the local governments ever make laws that make sense. Congratulations on finding a way to build your dream house. You have a lovely piece of property. Looks to me like it is an old tree farm, with those pines all in rows. I will be 80 in July, 2024, lived in towns and cities most of my life, and find I am hooked on the homesteading channels. Now I live in a retirement community in the southmost city in Texas, Brownsville, and tend my postage stamp sized yard, and my three cats. This old lady is gonna subscribe, just to be able to watch your dreams come true.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Welcome!! We have a lot of silviculture in our area because the soil is so poor.

Are you happy with SpaceX being there? Opinions seem pretty divided. I'm up in Austin, but have been down there. For me, I believe would be happy to see the growth and development with more restaurants and overall beautification and improvements to the local economy, let alone the excitement of the space program! The largest rocket ever developed, built, and launched -right from your backyard!

I live in Putnam County. I’m an AC contractor. Some years ago I was installing a mobile home AC in Bradford County and the chief inspector insisted I pour a concrete pad to secure the unit to. I told him the pad I was using secured the unit with earth anchors,like the house used and his requirement didn’t make any sense. He promptly told me there was no common sense in government. I poured the pad and left shaking my head. Happy for you.

Yup, at @9:30 on Sat night we lost power😢. But wait,😮 it stayed off all night and it was cold 28 degrees... Woke up and needed coffee so broke out the camping single burner stove, boiled up some hot water and made Tasters Choice coffee, had some cooked tater tots in frig so we smashed them up, added some eggs and chopped onions, had some defrosted bacon so cooked that up first then did the Powers-Out Special OMG Omlet...that worked to warm us up as we sat in front of the roaring fire place...11:30 am The Power Came Back On, Amen😀...Ta-Ta For Now...Cheers from Maine🦞🥛🍪❤️

Over here from Chads channel 'Doss Farms'. He recommended you and again he made a good choice. I look forward to going through even more of your videos than i have already. God will be guiding you through the challenges and I hope they become easier for you. I love your honesty and you answering all of the comments to the best if your ability, as you didn't have to do that. Its okay for people to disagree, but they should still be nice in doing so. Disagreeing doesnt have to mean arguing. You handled this right in my opinion, which is another reason I am glad Chad recommended you. Thank you for the great videos.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for stopping by! Here's more about us: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jobcgad9jL9mqdU

[@ronaldmiller7740]

doss farms said to come over and check out your situation. We used to live in Pensacola near Brunson Field and built a 2500 su house on 12 acres, lived there 15 years and then moved to Jacksonville and built a 3000 sq house on 2 1/4 acrea. we now live in Kansas on 6.5 acres in a 5000 sq house. we understand everytime we built they seemed to change the rules to build. In Kansas they haven;t talked to make any changes .

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for stopping by. Here's a recap video on our progress so far: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y5uleHiPf8qUZ7s

[@andrewsmith3121]

What HAS changed is that the attached garage adds sq ft to the TAXABLE value of the dwelling. The land value for taxes doesn't change, and land taxes are a lower percentage. Dwelling taxes are a higher value, so the county has more incentive to make that aspect appreciate as much as possible. So, over 50 years, the county will generate a generous increase compared to the plan you wanted. The year after the certificate of occupancy, you will get your tax assessment notification and you will see how the value assessed on your property increases, specific to the dwelling assessment. It may be $2K more, it may be $3K more, or even up to $5K more. So, again, over 50 years the county makes a good sum of extra money compared to how you had it planned.

[@MsRebeccadale]

Yes that sucks.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Our options were limited! Thanks for watching.

[@chrisgramstorff996]

That’s awesome, I’m sure you’re going to enjoy the attached garage our house has on it’s so convenient

[@helmuthschultes9243]

Stopped in from Doss Farms, Chad mentioned your "problem " with rules. Good that you get to proceed by work around, BUT at much cost. Do not know your taxes and annual community charges. Here in Australia the annual 'Rates' charged by the city/community council, responsible for providing garbage, roads, planning, other community services, is very much based on improved value of the property, so total home value is critical. State government also may charge a 'Land Tax' based on the total property value and usage. Here the city/community/region only deals with general services, unlike US, here police, fire brigade, courts and such are state or some even federal, not community run.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

[@hamrad645]

I suspect that the market value of your home and farm will be increased by having the garage attached. I wish you well and joy with your home build. We did that almost 24 years ago, and while it can be stressful, we had an excellent builder and anything that was done wrong was quickly corrected before construction was concluded. There are a lot of choices, from flooring to ceiling finish, to bathroom fixtures. One thing we did do in our master bath was we had a cultured marble shower which I think is 36x54. I love that shower, and a huge tub is much harder to maintain. I so happy your "dream home" is moving forward, and I think you will like the attached garage better anyway! Perhaps not, but that's your choice! May God continue to bless you and yours!

[@earlyriser8998]

we are building a house on 110 acres in Texas now. Sheet rock just went up. I am responding to the "Deb and I agreed on the layout". My wife designed the house and handed floor plan drawing on a big paper sheet (3 ft x 4 ft) to the designer. She chose wide 6' hallways, the mud room, wrap around porches, kitchen, and the layout of every room. I occasionally made suggestions but the only thing I insisted on was a 4 car drive through garage. The person with the best design sense should govern the design choices. Like you the house is bigger than we need for the 2 of us ..3400 sq ft....but it looks fantastic and is our forever home.

Awesome! I'm 70 and have been in a wheelchair several times. My recommendation is that the master shower floor entrance and the bathroom floor be barrier free so you can roll a wheelchair in the shower. Many motels do this too. It's called a "roll in ADA shower". The bathroom floor should also have an extra floor drain (if using round drains) and floor slopes towards the drains. Currently the rage is to have the shower stall drain be of the type linear/infinity/invisible/trench drain either along the wall or as a dividing line between the shower and the rest of the bathroom floor where a raised curb would normally go for plexiglass installation. Instead, the plexiglass would be anchored an inch off the floor for cleaning. I loved the trench drain. Terlit overflow? To the floor drain. Shower water? Same drain. Architect needs to specify concrete slab slope to make this work. Also, his and her sinks. Add a Kohler Dexter urinal for him, low enough for wheelchair access. It's about time they started putting these in residences! 😉 Your advanced years will thank you.

I'm sooo happy for you! Hurry up and build. That is ridiculous! We have an attached garage, that we never park in, we use it as flex space❤congratulations 🎉

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for the support! Still working the drawing!

[@debrafricano1486]

Great news!

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thanks for the support!

[@curtwinkle2010]

Sweet! Happy for you! I am surprised that the county doesn't encourage detached garages. 75% of all house fire start in the garage. Some states even give insurance breaks on detached garages, how does that work in Florida? Can't wait to see the videos in the future :-)

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

The whole thing is silly, but it's behind us! Thanks for watching.

THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! I purchased land in TN and I am hearing from other land owners that they are finding roadblocks to the point that they have listed their land to sell. I have not done the footwork myself but want to be informed before I start working on my dream homestead!! VERY SCARY as I placed my $$$$ on this land with retirement in mind & having my 3 kids families have a home on the property.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

It definitely pays to research your county's laws and restrictions, we were shocked. Good luck to you on your dream!

[@caracrews730]

DRAMA?? WOW!! Those people do not know don't know what drama is.Ya'll are just dealing with life as it comes your way. Just pray for those people and keep praying for Gods guidance. Enjoy your show.

Doss Farm viewer here. We live in the panhandle of Florida and there are so many regulations with building here. It has become a heavy regulated state and land prices have become astronomical due to the influx of people coming here to get away from the north. My heart and prayers go out for both of you.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

The recent hurricanes have driven up the price of everything, especially insurance. Welcome!

So what exactly were the specifics of the zoning that you were in violation at first but now you are in compliance? I really learned nothing from this.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Hello Brad & Deb; The last time I watched Piney Grove was the Building and finished build of Brad's parents house. I can understand the mindset of Brad's Father concern of living in a mobile home. He did not want to live in a mobile home. HOWEVER Brad and Deb you both have more of an inner strength than I do. From the stand point that you went to the county with your entire building layout with the county. It's not like you did it piece meal, one building at a time submitted in front of the county planning /zoning. PLUS I understand the factor of 10 acre parcels especially in Florida because I would not want a development (aka residential zoning) next to my 10 acre parcel in an agricultural area of properties. But the factor that you had laid out the entire parcel with ALL BUILDINGS and showed the County people would be my MAJOR argument. The argument would be I showed you my entire plan for the property but NOT ONCE did you ever say that can not be done. The key factor would have been Brad's parents house would have been down sized if the 50% rule for another house to be built would have been told to you. Maybe 1000 SF or 1200 SF Again the county reps NEVER told you this little rule especially when you had the entire plan in front of them. However that all being said It sounds like you both have it resolved. First house is 1600 sf the 2nd house 3200 sf. The one benefit of an attached garage is that rainy days will be nice taking groceries into the house from the attached garage.

We bought some property (5.77 acres) in January 2024 in Florida. In Citrus County. The county has so many rules and permits for everything its ridiculous. We wanted to just go snow birding for winter months so we put a down payment on a 16x50 shed/house because county says you can't live in a RV on your property for more than 2 weeks unless your building with a permit.. Hired an architect for plans. Paid him extra to submit and do permits while we were back home in Missouri. We had to make a special trip back to Florida to sign 1 paper in front of County Permit Clerk (cost us $1300 for this trip) to be notarized in person for my husband to be the general contractor. He builds homes for a living now for 40 years but not licensed in Florida. County has been so nitpicky on every detail that we are still waiting on plans to be approved. 7 months later, nothing has yet to be built. Plus our property is ALL timber. They made us sign a form saying we wouldn't remove more than 8.3 trees per acre. SERIOUSLY! You can't do what you want, on your own land without the county butting in. Hope you guys are having better luck in your neck of Florida.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

We filmed an update video that will post soon, but we are proceeding with our house....slowly!

[@kyarilee]

does it have to be attached, attached? I lived in mobile homes, with deck, screened in porch and not actually physically attached to the mobile home? Just butts up to it?

[@kyarilee]

also garages, that look attached but aren't?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

If it's not attached they call it an accessory building.

[@jerryt4701]

As a 42 year resident of Hillsborought County, Florida and retired USAF, I can guarantee you that your property taxes will be somewhat higher with an attached garage. Yes, you will appreciate having the attached garage, later. Good luck with the build.

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

We hope to break ground soon! Here's a video about us: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jobcgad9jL9mqdU

[@howiekearney]

I'm glad everything worked out for you guys. I'm a little confused though. In the initial video it said that you would only get approval for one dwelling on the property because of the 10 acre rule. And the second video, it seemed to be about the garage being attached versus detached. What ultimately led to you getting the approval And getting around the 10 acre rule?

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

One dwelling has to be either twice the size or 1/2 the size of the initial dwelling. Since the house on the property is 1600 sq ft, we could only build a 800 sq ft house, OR a 3200 sq ft house. We were originally planning a 2100 sq ft house so this solution is costing us about $40K more...

[@howiekearney]

@@PineyGroveHomestead @PineyGroveHomestead gotcha. So glad it"kinda" worked out. For the record I think the attached garage is a great option. Congrats on the approval. Its terrible it's going to cost you so much more but thankfully a solution is available.

[@liebekatz1]

Blessings for your family ❤

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thank you!

[@guardianminifarm8005]

I like your attitude. Respectful even in your frustration. It is sad though that you have to get permission from others regarding your hard earned property. God bless as you progress!😊

[@PineyGroveHomestead]

Thank you! We are eager to break ground.
