TL;DR — A short paid e-guide from Hack My Homestead on choosing and buying raw land for an off-grid homestead: must-haves, climate, evaluating listings, financing and cheap housing.
A 39-page e-guide by Shawn Mills, sold through hackmyhomestead.com. Written in a chatty first-person style, it draws on the author’s own move from the suburbs to an off-grid property.
Six chapters: listing the land’s “must-haves” (water access, zoning that allows building, year-round road access), “nice-to-haves” (views, mature trees, distance from government oversight) and future projects (solar, space for animals, room to expand); choosing geography and climate; how to search for and evaluate raw land; options for buyers without cash; cheap housing to start with; and setting realistic expectations.
What it is: a self-published commercial how-to guide. Practical, not authoritative.
