Sun, 05 Jul 2026 14:00:15 +0000

What does it actually cost to turn raw land into a place you can call home?

In this episode of Bums on a Boat – Building a Life on Land and Sea, we're sharing the real numbers behind our homestead project. From purchasing five acres of land to installing electricity, building the foundation, running water, and framing the tiny home, we're breaking down what it cost to reach this point.

These expenses were part of Kara Lynn's vision long before we met. Over the past year, I've been learning the story behind this property while helping continue the build, and along the way I've discovered a few surprising things about the land that make this place even more unique.
If you've ever wondered what it takes to start building on raw land—or dreamed of creating a simpler life—this episode gives you an honest look at the journey so far.

Thanks for following along as we continue building a life on land and sea.
