Subscribed from Ireland. Love anything rural America/homesteading. I’m assuming this is Florida? (I’m only 10mins in, incase it’s mentioned later).

[@jorgemdiaz7362]

Its allways been my dream, buy land and live in it congrats, subscribing and following your journey 👍

[@JohnathanAulabaugh]

its tough to find land like that in FL these days. Congrats. Looks like you have a lot of work ahead but looks like a good piece of property. Predation tags can be had through FWC if you choose. Holler if you need a hand with anything. Im a handy type of guy, grew up on a ranch, built schools most of my life, as well as being a photographer.

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Awesome looking property

[@pinkywilliams8063]

Welcome new homesteaders, I always enjoy watching newbies to the land. Looks like a beautiful piece of land you have there. Good Luck, for you know I'll be watching. Thanks for sharing

[@Rob2850PC]

Will be a beautiful place, live the dream. Good luck from north Florida

[@johnwiggins2796]

With that much land and scenery I would make it a wedding venue and retreat center. I would put cabin throughout the area out of site of each other for privacy. Their is so much that could be done there it blows my mind.

[@toddeccles1]

You asked for advice. I have 132 acres in TN and started building our farm last year. Follow Joel Salatin and his farm PolyFace. He has online homesteading videos and he does weekend retreats for homesteaders to come learn on his farm. Good luck on your journey, more folks need to do this!

[@kevinliverman9021]

Great video, looking forward to see you make your dream come true, I to dream of having my own ranch like that and about the same size, good luck guys and I will be watching every video you make from now on!

[@MISGUIDED_MISFIT]

Can't wait to see where this goes an the great content that is to come.

[@emilyzimmermann3693]

You guys have so much space there that you could do a fitness retreat type of thing there. Little cabins out by the lake somewhere. Incorporating mind and body and soul programs. Make some trails through your property to hike but only for people who are visiting for the retreat. Maybe incorporate lessons for gardening and taking care of animals once you get that far.

[@lewchaney2138]

Your land is so beautiful. Congratulations. 🎉

[@CritterCreekUSA]

So Much Potential Here!!! Exciting.. I will follow your Progress/Adventure for sure!

[@derekcarmichael9772]

This is amazing. Where is this property!? It’s stunning

[@petereckerwall9423]

Good luck with your ranch! You to look a little to good to be a couple digging in the dirt on a farm!😜 I will follow your good days, and your bad ones, from my ranch in Sweden! 😉❤🇸🇪

[@KevinChristiansen-i2q]

Great video

[@jackenstrom4822]

Awesome property that every true Floridian would be envious of! Renovate the old block buildings since the slabs and walls are still in great shape, but if they were built prior to the 1960s then plan to use them only for equipment/durable goods storage. Concrete slab on grade foundations built before the 1950/60s don't have vapor barriers, so those buildings will always have a higher than average humidity from moisture coming up through the ground/slab that could cause mold (especially with that high water table). Gators are abundant in Florida, so there's no use in having big bull gators around that would pose a danger to a curious toddler (or father), especially if they're that comfortable with being that close to the shoreline where you think a food source once was... Gopher tortoises like iceberg lettuce, rattlesnakes like gopher tortoise burrows. Don't plant an orange grove (or rely on it being successful if you do), there's no grove in the state that doesn't have greening or canker - but do plant a few grove stock valencia trees outside your house to have fresh squeezed OJ every Christmas morning. Sub out all the large tasks, DIY the smaller ones you'd get joy from. You've got a huge, awesome project on your hands! Respect the local Floridians and listen to their suggestions, those who've lived here long enough would provide priceless knowledge with each conversation. You own a piece of Old Florida now, you'd be wise to keep it that way.

[@JSmiley39]

Hey, I just wanted to say congratulations love your set up. Nothing like having the right woman in your corner on the same page as you I pray that you guys are blessed and more blessings come and you stay together forever in Jesus name.Aman

[@DossFarm]

Gators and calving season?! 😮 Thought the wild dogs we deal with were bad 😂. Congratulations on the start of your journey!

[@EpicRayKirk]

Could you send me some of the usnea hanging from the trees? Also known as "old mans beard". I'm learning how to use herbs as medicine to get off the meds I take. The mystery animal looked like a Bobcat. No tail. Good luck with your adventures!

[@GymPerformance]

Awesome. Congrats you guys!

[@Hoonigan_Honda94]

Y’all are living the dream!! I’d love to be able to help out with the property in the future if needed.

[@dogwoodriverranch]

Awesome intro video! From one new homesteader to another, my main piece of advice is START SMALL with your goals/projects. We also bought an old property that had been neglected and overgrown and we made the mistake of trying to do a bunch of projects that would make the property look nicer but in the long run didn't serve much purpose. If I could start over again, I would start by just focusing on my homesite and the things immediately surrounding it that are necessary. Then move on to the garden and be very deliberate about location, size, water source, etc. Then move onto fencing for animals - but again, start small! Don't try to fence the whole 30 acre pasture at once. Start with a 1-3 acre pasture that you can run some cattle, or whatever animals you choose, and just stick with that for a while. Once they are breeding and outgrowing the pasture, then start fencing the next section to let your herd grow. The worst thing you can do is get too many things going all at the same time and overwhelm yourselves. In the first year on our property we had horses, cows, chickens, and pigs and in order to do all of that, we ended up throwing together fencing, shelters, and infrastructure for water. It was a terrible mistake because now we are already having to replace fencing and re-do mistakes. So that leads me to my second piece of advice: DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. You will not regret investing the money upfront for good materials and extra time put into building things up. It will save so many headaches down the road. I could go on forever but I'll leave y'all with that! Again, great video and great job with your production quality! That is definitely something we didn't do either when it came to starting our channel lol. I look forward to seeing how things turn out for you!

[@dogwoodriverranch]

Thought of one more super important tip after posting the first comment. When it comes to purchasing a tractor, do not cheap out on that either. For 125 acres, do not get a compact tractor. Get something 60 HP or larger. You'll want to make sure you have enough PTO HP to run all the different implements that you'll need. Also, spend the money for an enclosed cab with A/C. Lastly, when it comes to dealing with tractor salesmen, dont be afraid to shop around and definitely haggle with them. Dont take the first deal offered!

[@NavigationFarm]

@@dogwoodriverranch Thank you for the advice! We'll probably make a video out of the tractor buying process, maybe after the chicken coop! 😄

[@beckym5730]

Cookie jar keep them They are ver hard to find. Build a shelf hutch with glass door for them.. something you can pass down..

[@neoncatfish4038]

The cattle bones all-in-one spot! Is cows and bulls or whatever that died on the ranch. And they are put in an out of the way spot! Then it's food for the birds, and other animals that find it! I have never owned a ranch, but have worked on one! And that's what they did! This was in the 70s and early 80s!

[@stella-w7e]

This is so exciting 🙌 ❤️

[@MO-xm1kj]

Looking forward to watching your journey! Are you going to relocate the gator? Will the gator attack horses or cattle if they go to the ponds?

[@michaelerdman1544]

MAYBE ALITTLE TO LATE, BUT in the future the trees that are up rooted or blown over u should saw them up for LUMBER trees that old are premium lumber. You need to find someone that will be truthfull and willing to help u with some education. A lot what u have shown can be worth and help u in repairs,saves u money,SO any fallen trees can save or make u come money. JUST ALITTLE NOTE!!

[@NavigationFarm]

We will get someone out asap! Thanks!

[@ljprep6250]

You have a lot of swampland on your property. What did the owner say about year-round dry land quantity? (Hope you checked with them and neighbors.) What are your state's regs on dealing with wetlands? Gators? Are you in Flowda? Well, best of luck to you both. What a bummer. Your own lake but you can't swim in it. I wonder if that second house is filled with $1M worth of ebay collectables. Have it assayed or whatever them pipples do with stuff like that.

[@DylanOlivier-xy3or]

If you build structures I would suggest lifting the foundation because there is a lot of wet land, if you get animals you gotta watch out for the gators because they travel for food

[@pieterbulthuis]

Hallo thanks for sharing this seems the be a nice place Florida? but for cows and horses? with alligators and snakes i don't know doesn't seem ideal for me, But i live in the Netherlands and luckily we don't have that problem !! Have a nice time and stay safe , also for the animals ✌🧡

[@dewighthackney149]

Ole Duke!! 😊

[@MadCatFX]

[@toddmartin1789]

It's a bobcat, nice ranch

[@RalphBleam-g3d]

Looks like Okeechobee,just saying,used to live in Stuart Fl.

[@dallaswilliams8152]

I would have one hell of a garden already planted.... the gators shared the cows with the coyotes, or the chubracabra.

[@unclesamsholdingcompany3000]

You all could really use a 40 hp hydrostatic 4WD tractor with a bushhog and grapple. I love my little Mahindra.

[@FloTimeNow]

Awesome , what state is that?

[@stevenmoffettone113]

That's awesome congrats

[@lilygrattan9641]

Could up-cycle some of that furniture too.

[@iSchneggs]

AWESOME!! ❤

[@dannywilsher4165]

Awesome place!!!

[@samuelhenery]

How many trees do you have? I am guessing you are in Floridia. Probably there isn't a lot of need for firewood. But if you have trees to harvest maybe you could make lumber out of them.

[@affinity-collective]

Look into quail habitat for the pines. It is thinned nicely already, you could do some controlled burns and there are conservation programs in place already that can help with taxes and rejuvenating a dwindling population.

[@affinity-collective]

After a few burns, stuff like golden rod and broom sedge grass will come in nice. Offering great natural habitat for native species, and some of the best honey around... Definitely recommend bees!

[@southerndiesels]

where in Florida?

[@j.s.7366]

Do y’all come from a farming/ranching background? If not, boy, you’re in for a big surprise. I really hope yall have experience with horses before you buy a bunch of them. I’d recommend starting out with two. I vote for y’all to fix that old house up and live in it. 😂 that would make some good YT. This shit is gonna be great.

[@chriseastman7691]

Congratulations

[@brittanymcwaters7446]

Please let me come hunt it (I live in North FL) lol I’d love to harvest deer/turkey on new territory and give yall all the meat harvested! ❤️

[@cripplelife9321]

Yur bst friend on a big piece of property is going to be a tractor with a bucket. When buying a tractor buy a size or two larger than you think you need to get a 4wd tractor

[@janlul1211]

jan from the UK LONDON ITS A COW SIMPLE

[@beckym5730]

You have to get the gators out if your going have animals, dogs kids.. they will say all your money. When it get cold they will come closer to you house for warmer to make beds

[@kayeprice6407]

Oh boy you guys. There is ALOT to homesteading. We watch alot of homesteading videos. We wish we could do it but too much work for us at this age. Ya'll now have to learn how to can and preserve. It is pretty easy actually.

[@tonythilmany4014]

Diamond backs and gopher turtles share the same hole and actually coexist together

[@FingerFade]

Wait, that huge lake is entirely on you guy's property?

[@redcoyote7]

The photo made it look to be too big for a bobcat but its either that or a florida panther.

[@LouisJackson6]

I think it’s a cougar 😮

[@HeryWijaya-xp4sj]

Crocodiles are very dangerous. It is better to have a radar to monitor them and if possible make a sign to know there are crocodiles. It is even better if there are no crocodiles near the house. Greetings from Borneo Indonesian. people.

Tip getting heavy equipment dozer/ excavator

[@kevinliverman9021]

Be careful around those alligators!

[@beckym5730]

Your doing all fruit tress grapes dwarf fruit tree. Use land for food put bee hives our by fruits tress and research flowers bees love and get great honey. You can buy flirt tree that are older and give off fruit . Alway can in jar and freezer.. go solar panels . Build a root cellar food good all winter long , build green house have vegetables all year long. Never buy fruits and vegetables at store again, chickens you can get a freeze dyer extra eggs power them eggs all year long , sell them jar them.. you have nice land to made a homestead go Pinterest homestead idea… build a freezer garage and addd shelf for canning jar build your own grocery store like size of a garage

Get some goats to clean it up around there

[@cgateley]

It's a cow. Pull out that old furniture and post on the marketplace people will buy it to redo and make good money on it. But don't just trash it because that could be money toward something the ranch might need.

[@rickthompson4315]
