I know you have been in the new place for a while already and this is not "news" but this is what we live for: matching people to places where they feel happy, safe and secure. So wonderful and so happy to re-live the purchase of your new home with you. It is lovely and you will just make it better and better by it being yours. Congratulations and thank you for the addicting videos that I watch at all hours of the day and night because I always learn something! PS: Your "powder room" LOL is a FULL BATH!!! Score! PS: Your "half bath" off the bonus room is also a FULL BATH!!! LOL your bathrooms are all full baths ... (FYI when you have a toilet, sink AND a shower and/or bath - it's a FULL. Powder aka "half bath" is a sink/toilet. All 3 is a "full"). You scored again!

I love the fact that your kitchen is separated from the living room. I hate open concept. If my kitchen is a mess I don’t want someone walking into my living room and seeing it. That and my kitchen is my area to get away to cook with no disturbances. So your area is gorgeous!

As a “wood shop wife”, I’d use that cottage for canning. The garage has the capacity to load large sheets of wood and large tools. You need as much space as possible for wood projects. Just to rip a sheet of plywood down, you need a full sheet of space on both sides! How FUN! Again I’m so excited for you both!

[@auntlouise]

Yes! Canning outside of the house is great to keep from overheating your house! It's also easier to organize your canning all in one place without having to stash it all away in cupboards and drawers every time you finish canning and need to make dinner!

[@AmandaJNightingale]

I agree. Also the cottage would make a great "summer kitchen" for those things you need to do in the summer months like canning that you don't want to heat up the main house. I bake a lot of bread, would put an oven out there for that purpose too.

Hey, just wanted to let you know that there's a device called a Solar Pathfinder that you can buy, set up anywhere on a piece of property, and it'll show you what the projected sun pattern will be for that spot for the entire year based off trees, slope, ect. It's mostly used when installing solar panels to track how much sun/shade an area gets. Worth looking into

In my mind the former owners were already youtube followers and reached out to Becky since they knew they'd cherish it as much as they did. 💜

[@lisarogers5873]

Hi Becky. This is exciting news. One thing I want to point out is you most likely have a septic tank and they require a drain "field" so before you plant anything or build anything find out where the septic and drain field are because there are restrictions on putting anything in those areas. Get a copy of your property description from the county you're in with a drawing where your septic is and ask about drain field restrictions. It will save you a big headache. Cheers and congrats!

Becky! It's amazing! Consider..... A kitchen couch! My grandma had a beautiful couch that I was going to put downstairs when she passed, but it didn't fit 😂. So we put it in the kitchen temporarily, and realized it's the literal best part of our entire house. We can snuggle on it, watch sunsets, relax when there is something to keep an eye on in the kitchen, and curl up on with a snack. Not to mention the ability for your guests or partner to be so comfy and hang out with you while you cook. Whatever you do will be perfect though, I can't wait to see it!

[@ihadalaff]

This house was built for you two.. it literally screams Becky and Josh and I am honestly soo excited to watch it become your home ❤️

[@susanstark5719]

You asked for ideas... consider putting your canning kitchen in the walk out basement. You can walk right in from the garden to prep and process your harvest. You will be right next to your planned root cellar/canned goods storage with no stairs up and down with produce or finished items! Also you will be cooler in the basement with less need for the AC. This will also keep the main floor cooler by not having the canning kitchen next to your main kitchen. Looks like the basement is large enough for the canning kitchen, your food storage area AND Josh's drum studio. 🥁 Best of luck to you both and congratulations on the new homestead!

[@AcreHomestead]

Great idea! Didn’t eve think if that

[@AB-ol5uz]

Tremendous idea - especially the difference in temps - much less stress on the kitchen equipment and hvac in summer/fall when harvests are pulled in - AND you can get a golf cart or side by side with a tow point to attach a gorilla cart or something similar to help you pull in your harvests right up to the sliding doors so that you can detach the cart and pull it right inside.

[@anahidkassabian4471]

I am absolutely thrilled for you, Becky!!! It really is the perfect home for the two of you, and for all your projects. My instinct is that Josh’s shop should be in the garage room and you should get that canning kitchen. If at a later point you wanna buy a boat, you can change things around - it won’t be impossible. And that amount of space for his shop will be awesome for him, too. (PS In Armenian, we have this notion of good jealousy and naughty jealous; good jealousy is when you are happy for the other person and you’d like to have the same for yourself… And that’s how I feel about your berry garden!)

(He also has a homesteading channel.) Both of them have made moves to quite large properties in the past year or two, and while neither of their gardens will be like yours, listening to them talk about how their thought processes and how they made decisions and all of that might be good fun for you to watch and listen to.

[@camillavanlamsweerde4380]

Hello becky! I’ve got a suggestion for your vegetable garden, since you plan to regrade your property you’ll have lots and lots of earth to redistribute, so you could do tall raised beds! You could make them hip height so you don’t have to crouch down to weed and harvest your crop. That way the soil that your plants are growing in are going to be elevated with the sun hitting them all day so the soil is warmer and your growing season is longer. I’ve had raised beds like this and it’s really been amazing having everything at eye level without needing to bend over to inspect my plants! I’m so very exited for this new chapter in your life! And jealous for all the planning that you’ll need to do for your garden!

[@mssixty3426]

Way cool! Congratulations🎉 A recommendation I heard from another KZbinr who bought a farm with a house that needed renovation - live in the place for a year before you do any major changes or renovations. Things that seem like a great idea can be nulled by a factor you are unaware of or can't foresee right now. It could be a location that floods when it rains, or a room that doesn't get light that you need for projects. You will also settle into a routine and naturally realize what suits you best for how to organize the space. This will help prevent any financial disasters that could have been avoided.

LOVE YOUR HOUSE!!!! I would definitely make the woodshop in the garage! That way he can store wood outside, work on BIG or small projects and have TONS of storage for those bulkier tools. Then having that smaller space for canning would be great because it LOOKS like it is off the backyard which would help for carrying in the harvest!

Definitely plant fruit trees as soon as possible. They will grow fine on a sloop. Just make use they are far enough apart that a riding lawn mower will easily fit between them

[@chuckciali2027]

We are in late sixties and did this at 45 . We love this life style in Maine. Very happy for you too!

[@chuckciali2027]

Where is this

[@Courtney983]

That view from the “office” is breath taking! Rolling hills, orchards, gardens. Are you kidding me. That’s my literal happy place now ❤️❤️

[@meagantrout2127]

I feel like it has to be fate because the kitchen, office, pantry situation is just perfect for you! We closed on our forever home in 2020 and this brings back all the feelings of finding the perfect house. Congratulations to you both!!!

[@deniselakatos5418]

Becky--it was like watching you open Christmas presents under the tree!! How wonderful for you and Josh to have your well-deserved forever home. I can't wait for our journey together as you make this place your own. And I am excited to see how your "girls" move into their new home! Hugs and blessings.

[@1divaed]

Wow!! How exciting n inspiring! Wishing you both much happiness n success in all you do❤

[@juliahelland6488]

Very cool! I think rv bay would make a great work shop for Josh. Having a processing kitchen would be great. We call them summer kitchens. As for the new garden area, you should 1st locate your septic and we'll systems because you can't dig in those areas. Congratulations! 💯❣️

[@theheartoftexas]

Excellent point!!!!!!!

[@VectorRabbit]

Just make sure you protect your ears with all that echo 😳

[@krisjx3]

Becky my Heart is erupting with joy for you and Josh! This makes me so happy for you and I can’t wait to see you all grow into the home and make it your own. What a stunning property for such a deserving couple! Congrats again at this most wonderful new chapter :)

[@patz780]

As I watched you share your new home, I couldn’t stop smiling while tears were threatening to flow. This house and property is absolutely beautiful and holds the potential to fulfill all of your dreams. I can’t wait to watch this new chapter of your life unfold. You both deserve all that is to come and we as your you-tube community are blessed to share it. Thank you!

[@pattrout3571]

Becki, when you and Josh start settling into your new home, think future. If you use the building away from the house for canning you will have to go from the house to there in rain, wind and possibly have to take one or more small children with you. I am 74 and look back now thinking about what would be easier today if I would have a made certain changes in our home years ago. If it's your forever home think long term. Love you and your life style. Prayers will be said for your new journey. Pat

[@candystamping4552]

OH MY GOD Becky! Your new home is an absolute dream! You have everything I love! I would put the wood workshop in that garage (you DO NOT want all that dust in your house), and make that other room for your canning like you said….great idea! The potential area for your large garden and chickens is awesome, plus all those fruit trees! I would be makin apple pies like nobody’s business 😜 The area with the strawberries is wow….love it! Your cool basement for your canned goods….yes yes yes! Congratulations on such a lovely home 🥰

[@dorriwaldera3081]

I never heard the term "daylight" basement before, we call it "walk out" basement. I love ours! I also have my storage room for my canned goods, garlic, etc. in ours. I can see so many great possibilities with your new home!

[@debbodenhamer7140]

Congratulations Becky & Josh! Your new home is beautiful! Wishing you many many years of happiness & prosperity in your new home!

[@lisas4453]

I'm a year and a half late and soooo jealous!!! This is like a dream for me too! I'm from upstate NY..the home of the Lilac Festival (Rochester,NY..world festival every year around mother's day)....and the land is my dream with a 2 or 3 story Victorian Home with a rap-a-round porch....I'm disabled now and could never do stairs or even the gardening, it makes me sad and I cry a lot thinking about never being able to do that, but seeing you get your dream is something that makes me smile!! God Bless. If you ever have room for a small guest house to rent out I'd like to be the first guest!!!!

[@gippywhite]

I am so insanely happy for you two!!!!!!! That is AMAZING!!!!!!!! ⚠️⚠️⚠️ WARNING ⚠️⚠️⚠️ My dad bought a house 17 years ago. It was too small, but the house next door was still being built and it was already a lot bigger. But because it was not finished, we had to wait over a month for them to finish. Then we moved in to the new NEW house and sold the previous one that was too small. The following year when he was doing his income taxes, it turned out that he owed the government an additional $10,000 due to the fact that he owned two properties in that previous year. So be aware of that when next year rolls around. You might be a little strapped for cash again. But this is an absolutely amazing house! I am so happy for you guys! 💙💙💙

[@kashanti1]

Yea alot of people don’t realize that.

[@miephoex]

Hope you kept your home kitchen as a place for all of us to enjoy. It makes us happy with you and feel part of your adventures. Your adventures there and the gardens are what makes you our “friend”. 🙏🙏👍

[@dpcsharr]

Becky, I know we don’t know each other personally, but I’ve been watching your channel for a while and I am so excited for you. I actually had tears of joy. So happy for you. I can’t wait to see what you do in the gardens too.

[@lindac6378]

She so good n fun to watch I had tears for her to n so happy for them

[@lhodge1000]

Oh my, that kitchen office would make for a great pantry! It’s big enough to keep part of it as an office as well.

[@OurOkieHomestead]

What a dream come true! You're gonna have a big learning curve with all the extra sun that you're not used to. The already built garden space is a huge blessing! I'm sure you will make it all GORGEOUS!

[@jenniferrichardson5106]

I've been quietly lurking and following you for some time now, but I've never left any comments. I absolutely love to watch all of your videos, and just had to say that I'm so happy for you and Josh! And Orbit and Tibro! I look forward to seeing you put your touches on this forever homestead! =)

[@debbiepower8780]

It's a lovely house I can't wait to see how you make it your home. I think the small room would be better for you preserving room. And the larger space for Josh's workshop as he will be able to have the room to expand when he need to. Could you do a Deer fence like Living Traditions have done with double fence and they have there chickens and Ducks in the middle of the 2 fence lines like a moat.

[@Celestial_C504]

Becky, congratulations on your dream come true! Your lovely home and the beauty of nature is a place to be hold! All the hard work you put into pays off sooner or later. You are an inspiration to your viewers. You are such an energetic person and have passion for nature. What a blessing for you two to have accomplished your dreams at such young age. Way to go! your cooking videos are impressive. I just bumped into your channel and let me tell you that your passion for cooking, gardening and desires to be better and sharing all with family friends and your followers is an amazing inspiration for women and men as well. May God bless you lovely lady!

[@angelagentry562]

On the slope or terraced area I would put my fruit tree orchard. The flat area is perfect for the raised bed gardens and greenhouse. I like the room you suggested for your canning room and let Josh have the larger room for his shop. This home is phenomenal and I can’t wait to start watching you work in the kitchen. The garden is going to be such a beautiful blessing. I would make many pergolas throughout the garden for climbing roses. I would leave the already built garden for fruit and use the other for your veggies. I’m so excited 😆 congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊 on your new home!!!

[@annetterose8948]

Definitely agree with the room ideas and adding more trees or bushing flowers to the sloped area.

[@TheShadowMan.]

Yes. Use it for preserving etc so all the moisture is vented out of the main house. Much healthier.

[@justjlll4596]

Congrats!! So glad you get to harvest from your other garden before selling! So much work put into that garden this season! I think you have the right idea to watch your sun patterns and also observe drainage on your property. Maybe even set up a trail cam to observe what wildlife comes through! It’ll be fun watching what you guys build! Super fun you have that orchard area!

[@geraldineconway1865]

What a brilliant idea about the cam.

[@kyooreeuhs]

What a blessing, Becky!!! I am so thrilled for yall! 7 sky lights! The view! So many things to gush over! I agree it makes sense to have your kitchen separate from your living (Also I imagine it's good to have separate areas to gather, instead of feeling like everyone is on top of each other). As far as workshop or canning kitchen, maybe canning in your main kitchen will answer the question for you? How neat that Josh is a drummer! And a daylight basement is perfect! Love that there are existing gardens and orchards in your area to move to. And what a blessing to be able to keep harvesting from your current garden and watch the sun pattern at the new house! I'm looking forward to watching the journey. I'm the same age as you and have been keeping a small garden for years. I've been watching your videos for a few months. It's really cool to see a peer share my interests. You inspire me to do more and to dream more for myself!

[@shannonlee1010]

What an amazing blessing! I told my husband when we sell it will not be to an investor. I want a family to enjoy our home. It was soooooo hard to get a house when we were searching because investors beat us with cash offers for a whole year. I cried and was about to give up.

[@eddieflowers7939]

This is going to be a marvelous adventure for you guys! My husband and I just made a move from Vermont down to Tennessee, from a 3bedroom apartment to a large house with a lot of space. Now viewing your new place I’m excited for the many possibilities you have already awaiting your plans for your dreams to start coming into a reality! I’m happy you both have youth on your side and families that will love and support you along this new journey in your marriage! Congratulations on everything and know that your KZbin family looks forward to seeing it all come together and the kindness you extend to us to sit along side of you in all that you accomplish!

Oh my dear sweet Becky and “Farmer Josh” my heart is so full of joy for both of you. It is like God had this place created just for the both of you. This property has waited for you to come love it. I cannot wait to come along on this new journey with you. Becky, I know your new farm will be the priority but I hope the next blessing will be a book. Oh what a gift that would be to so many. You have so much knowledge to share. Definitely a canning kitchen my love. Thank you for all you share with us. You always bring a smile to my face, a growl to my tummy and joy to my day. Blessings my dear one ❤️

[@ltboyerpange4512]

Becky!! This forever home is BEAUTIFUL!! As you were giving the tour, I just felt like this home was completely meant for you! Congratulations to you, Josh, and the pups!! 💕

[@noramaegomez197]

Don’t forget The Girls 🐓🐤🐥Lol

[@embracing_the_chaos7115]

Girl.. this place is huge!! What you should do is use the wood shop for us canning. You should can, freeze, and even make your seasonings to sell! There are people like me who would love to have those type of things on hand but have no room for a garden or all those small appliances to makes my own storage. If I lived near you I would be a customer! THEN.. have a bunch of kids to raise in this beautiful homestead. I love .. love you and will always have my support. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
