They fall in love with a view, sign the papers, and only later find out the water's no good, the soil won't grow, or the access road washes out every spring. Curtis Stone has spent years helping people avoid exactly that. In this keynote, originally delivered at Exit & Build 3, Curtis breaks down his complete framework for finding the perfect homestead... the same system he uses through Freedom Farmers and the Homestead Accelerator to vet land for serious buyers. Curtis Stone built a 40-acre off-grid homestead in British Columbia and ran the Urban Farmer (now Off Grid with Curtis Stone), one of the biggest homesteading channels out there. This talk is him handing you the checklist.In this replay you'll learn: - The make-or-break factors most people completely overlook when buying land- How to read topography, water, soil, and climate before you ever make an offer- Why \"cheap land\" is often the most expensive mistake you can make- How to weigh trade-offs between properties instead of buying on emotion- The difference between land that looks good and land that actually works Curtis is joining us live and in person at Exit & Build 6, November 5–8 at Sovereignty Ranch in Bandera, Texas... where he'll be leading homestead land workshops and sitting down one-on-one in our Implementation Zones to help attendees vet real properties on the spot.
