From Neglected to Beautiful: Transforming 80 Acres of Abandoned Land

Published 2023-03-11
This video is a collection of videos that I stitched together that were taken over a two year period to show some of the progress we have made in cleaning this property.
We're still cleaning the property, clearing brush, working on buildings, and getting the house in a livable condition.
Our goal is to be "Living On 80" Acres full time soon and is the motivation to keep working hard on this land.

In 2014 my wife and I purchased a 90 acre farm that had been abandoned 19 the 1950's. There were the remaining of several buildings, a house a barn and a couple of sheds none were save able. 10 years and a lot of work and we have it almost where we would like it to be. To be honest I guess there is always something else you want to do. It has kept our retirement life full and rewarding.

How fortunate you guys were to find a place that someone had previously put so much time, effort and money into. The roads, fencing, ponds, cleared areas, house and other structures puts you so far ahead. Mowing and maintenance will soon expose the beauty that once was. Good job !

I don't know how this showed up on my feed but I am so delighted it did! Oh my goodness! Your little family has a lifetime of work ahead of you. This is what is called "sweat equity". Your audience will be cheering you on every step of the way, via YouTube. Congratulations in finding purpose and teaching your children to work hard. I love this video! More, please?

So wonderful to see what my heart has longed for, for 50 years!! So happy to see you making this land come back to life!!

Just came across your channel and I subscribed so I can watch you make this place beautiful again. Please get some safety glasses to wear next time you weed-eat. š

Your farm isnāt the only beautiful place there. The surrounding properties look beautiful too!

Beautiful piece of land. Lots of hard, satisfying work. The wildlife seem to enjoy their manicured playground. God bless you in your efforts. Thanks for sharing.

Love it! Can't wait to see what the future holds for the property and your family.

I watch restoration videos. I know I get to the hope that once places are refound, that someone will inhabit them and start a new cycle of flourishing. Thank you for your video of having the courage to do the whole cycle. What is fun? Beyond reclaiming huge areas at a time, the pulling vines out of trees is good. Hauling whole tree sections with a truck also had merit. In a yard, a lawn mower might pull branches. 6:14 has a wonderful new view. Had to chuckle on your bit of "house landscaping". One of the entertainments of Landscape Archeology is under, "What in the world is there?" and also, the beauty of recovered design work. Good start on useful four-legged grass mowers. Nice firewood work. What an excellent thing for your kids to see going on.
