Really like your channel. Your Great Granddad would be proud. That is a great story about your family owning the land. You will have a great life on the property. The shooting range is right up my alley. Good luck
We moved into my grandparents house in 1966 they both died in October 1965 in a carwreck I can still remember when grand dad remodeled the sleeping porch into a den....
You have so much structure that you got with your acreage and we got no structure. Absolutely a blessing. We purchased our 36 acres of brush and cactus 13 months ago. We now have electricity, soon will have a water well and we have cleared most of the brush to sprig some grass and our creek crossing is almost done. We hope to start our 2,000 Sq Ft 1 bed room house soon. I love your pond. We will never have one like that as we don't get the rain and our land isn't rolling. All of that said, I appreciate your tour!!! Your doing an awesome job.
This channel is a great pleasure for me, a farm life of the sort my family lived, also in southern Illinois, from the 1920s to about 1950, and where I spent summers as I grew up in the suburban world of St Louis. How I wish I could have bought a farm forty years ago!
Thanks for this great tour of your place. How fortunate you are to live and work on a place like this (which you and your wife have created with your hard work). I've been watching your channel for a couple of months and this tour helps me put things in perspective. I love this channel.
Years ago I saw when you first got that land. WOW ! It looks SOOOOO much better and you have done soooo much to improve it. Congratulations on a fantastic farm !
awesome homestead! Thanks for the tour. For me the best part is the property buffer from other people moving in next door....must be a very freeing feeling.
Evan, excellent tour of the homestead. The possibilities are endless and will leave you both with enough work to occupy all your spare time. Thanks again
Evan and Rebecca, You journey reminds me of my childhood on my grandparents dairy farm. Three uncles were dairy farmers as well and we kids enjoyed making hay and harvesting stuff from grandfather's massive garden. IMHO you are amazing and heroic as animals do not care for themselves nor does the land. Thank you for your vlog and appreciate very much all your work and dedication especially while keeping down full time jobs. Courage!
I hope you have good luck with the fruit trees we tried it's such a headache especially when they randomly die at 6 or 7 years old we finally decided to save our efforts and support our local farmers market.
New subscriber. Your land is beautiful. You were so blessed to get your grandfather's homestead/property. It was meant to be in the family.💖 Blessings from our LORD.
We just bought a 44 acre ranch. We are looking to do something similar! Fantastic video. I am so happy for you! Congratulations on reclaiming the land back into the family. You could take a metal detector out and possible find something your great grandfather owned and used.
Over 2 mins in commercials. I like it, it says were growing and need funds to help the footage improve. I am more than willing to watch them too for a taste of a dream that I too have :) Thanks for sharing bub.
Evan, you bought this property on my birthday, Sept. 30. You and Rebecca have come a long way since the camper, while you were building and now you have a really nice place and it is just getting better and better. Good luck in the future.
I haven't seen this subscription in about 4 years at least. I remember when you lived in the camper and were just moving into the property, the trouble you had with fixing up the drive. Good to see the progress, know it is a lot of work, but a labor of love. Good tour, nice video.
Hey from KY! Thanks for the tour. You have a beautiful piece of Heaven there. Awesome and alot of hard work you have done so far. We live on a farm too. Glad I found this video. I will for sure be watching more.
Thanks for the tour! In Wisconsin, most bank barns are the gambrel roof'd dairy barns. Milking parlor in the bottom and hay storage up above with a silo or two attached to the side. Very interesting to see buildings from different areas and how they were used. I like the way you have long term plans for everything and just keep chipping away at it.
Wow you have an amazing homestead. I never realized it was that big. I'm sure they're going to be many new projects to come. Thanks so much for the video, Jimmy
Yes Dave Ramsey. We got out of debt, paid off our house, saved money for a couple years. Bought our property, went back in debt. Sold our house moved to country, went back out of debt. Build dream home, went back into debt. But the mortgage is our only debt now. Couldn't have done it without being debt free and saved money before hand. We still do a monthly budget and follow the Dave Ramsey plan.
@@CountryViewAcres That is good debt. Debt with a plan, Not impulse buying commercialism. The discipline to pull it off is commendable. What an awesome example for your sons. Genesis 11:6.
Between you and Nancy and Hollis on youtube I can't decide which homestead I want the most. I think it will be a combination of both. You have a lovely place. Definitely something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing.
Love your farm ! Would really enjoy watching you clean up around the pond , maybe plant some cat-tails and a weeping willow or two for shade . could also build yourself a small pier .
Beautiful rolling countryside. Nice work on the property. Have you ever considered beekeeping? They would help pollenate the truit trees and help out the honeybee species.
ran across your channel browsing and the restocking the pond video caught me since we have two smaller ponds but appears we have lost most all our fish...loved your tour...what a great set up and plans...we retired and moved 350 miles from our families to N.E. Texas and bought 27 acres with a large barn in need of repairs, a nice shed divided into work area/storage are..electric, water well, county water and septic, perimeter fenced but falling down rusty barbed wire and seller's had a survey...so all those things helped with costs...we moved from south of Houston, Tx. on 4 acres...have 9 rescue horses and 6 rescue dogs...and wanted more land for the horses and to be able to homestead...we just celebrated 1 yr here end of last September 2019...we are raising dual purpose chickens with roosters, meat chickens, meat rabbits, pigs which are now ready to go to butcher, and we got a beef cow that was bred...should calve next May...green house put up and raised beds and fruit trees...it's all coming together...I learned how to can and can't wait for next spring to be planting seed again and harvesting the goods...it's amazing...we know what we raised and are eating...no recalls here...Congrats on your farm...you have done a great job and hope to see future videos...yes I subscribed!
Thanks for finally showing us the back part of the barn. A lot of potential back there. More animals and machinery storage. Free run for cattle or horses? I love your property and what you have done so far.
Thank you for the tour, Evan. The thing I like best is that, you have kept it looking like an old working farm. I am sure a lot of your followers are envious of you and your place. I know I am. Art in CA
Thanks for sharing a catch-up video for your long time viewers and also your new subscribers. I washed all your hard work as a long-time subscriber. Always something to do down on the farm!
Just found your channel. Things look great! I think it would be interesting to see a tour every couple of years just to see how things change. We live on 10 acres. Unfortunately, little over 5 years after we moved on it my husband lost his leg. So we haven't made the upgrades we planned. The property is still meeting our needs, our needs have just changed. I hope your homestead sees you through each stage of your life. I hope your great grandchildren are able to live on and love the property as well.
Beautiful piece of heaven y'all have there. I like the idea of everything being spread out like that. I really enjoy your channel and everything you've done to your property. I'm a new sub to your channel and found you when I was looking for Cabin builds. I started watching you build your house and had to go back and catch up from when you started with this property and just fell in love with the story. now I watch every video you put out and can't wait to see what is coming next.
yers is the first house that i seen in a very long time that has a wrap a round porch,, screen in a space fer summer living an sleepin when it gits hot out in summer,, beautiful homestead ya have,, thank ya fer the video
Hey guys big fan of your channel I’m an older want to be farmer retired firefighter. Anyway, after watching ur channel for a few months now I’ve come to the conclusion that u need a dump trailer that could be useful for every aspect of chores your doing. From gathering fire wood, load cement block, and much more…. Just a suggestion I’ve always been taught work smarter not harder!! Keep up the good work enjoying every video… Angelo
Great tour of your property Evan, alway enjoy seeing what you and Rebekah have been doing around there. Keep up the good work and videos and thanks for sharing with us.
Thank you for sharing. A great summary of your homestead, even for us old-timers. You have done a wonderful job, worked hard and have earned everything you have.
They kept pigs in that back part of the barn that's why the boards were space apart in the floor for the waste to go through I like what you done with the place
New to your channel, an old man wanting to live a dream like yours. Beautiful property you have there. I’d love to have a 40 acre like yours someday soon.
The way the floor boards is gapped in that addition on the side of your barn it looks like they kept hogs or something in, being it’s easier to clean with the floor like that. And the way they have boards three rows high at the bottom to keep them from rooting under the wire above it.
I'm happy I found this one. Pretty much my dream place other than the 73 acre farm I grew up on. You're going to do great, Evan.
Wow, my dream in an 18min video. Some day I will find my homestead. Enjoy.
Nice you didn't torture us with music
Wow. Really cool that it was previously in your family.
Really like your channel. Your Great Granddad would be proud. That is a great story about your family owning the land. You will have a great life on the property. The shooting range is right up my alley. Good luck
An island of sanity, in a frenzied world. Great !
We moved into my grandparents house in 1966 they both died in October 1965 in a carwreck
I can still remember when grand dad remodeled the sleeping porch into a den....
Hi...... Country View Acres, thank you for sharing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 🎥👍👍👍

Redoing a old farm is a lifelong adventure. Enjoy!
You are a blessed man!
Holy cow! That's amazing! Your great, great grandfather owned YOUR property! How incredible.

Years ago I saw when you first got that land. WOW ! It looks SOOOOO much better and you have done soooo much to improve it. Congratulations on a fantastic farm !
Having watched a few of your other videos, Now I can picture what you're trying to do. You're a real inspiration.
awesome homestead! Thanks for the tour. For me the best part is the property buffer from other people moving in next door....must be a very freeing feeling.
The area in the add on to the bank barn was where they used to Farrow hogs. Would also work for when your goats are kidding.
Farrowing pens for any livestock is my opinion also. Peace
Evan, excellent tour of the homestead. The possibilities are endless and will leave you both with enough work to occupy all your spare time. Thanks again
Nice that you have a familial connection to your property

You need some 4 legged alarm systems to let you know when the trespassers are doing the rounds at the pole barn.
Hey from KY! Thanks for the tour. You have a beautiful piece of Heaven there. Awesome and alot of hard work you have done so far. We live on a farm too. Glad I found this video. I will for sure be watching more.
damn, so cool that you have an actual pond for your ducks to swim in, they must be so happy doing their thing. :)
Just found your channel- thanks so much, this is reality TV- we’re with you-enjoy your life Bub Cali.

Very interesting to see buildings from different areas and how they were used. I like the way you have long term plans for everything and just keep chipping away at it.
This is my first time seeing your whole property from an aerial view. It's beautiful.
I love your homestead and I'll be watching more vlogs 💞💞💞
After watching many of your videos (catch up Binging) great to see the tour, Thanks
Thanks for the tour. You've turned that old farm around.
Wow you have an amazing homestead. I never realized it was that big. I'm sure they're going to be many new projects to come.
Thanks so much for the video,
Jimmy
Working to live, instead of living to work ! Nice place.
Dave Ramsey, hmmm. The homestead is a masterpiece . I am so happy for you guys. Enjoy your blessings.

Nice tour, Evan. First time you gave us a look at the old shallow well. Beautiful drone footage.
Evan I'm from the future and the farm looks better in 2023
Between you and Nancy and Hollis on youtube I can't decide which homestead I want the most. I think it will be a combination of both. You have a lovely place. Definitely something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing.
Love your farm ! Would really enjoy watching you clean up around the pond , maybe plant some cat-tails and a weeping willow or two for shade . could also build yourself a small pier .
You have a beautiful property. It’s also wonderful to have a family connection to the land.
So fun watching your aussies - we have 2 as well- ours are from same parents different litters. Best dogs ever!
The back stalls maybe was for butcher pigs. The place looks great, great work.
Your property has so much potential, and you've done so much already!!!
Fabulous land, bank barn, fruit trees, and absolutely everything. So beautiful 😍
Thanks for the tour. Really enjoy your homestead.

Sounds like you have a great start on your homestead. Wish you the best of luck.
Your property is beautiful. Really like how you used the space. Really live the barn set up. The shooting range is awesome to see.
I would love 41 acres . Love the way you have it laid out
Always like seeing your place. You’ve put in a lot of work!
Pete from Just a Few Acres Farm sent me. Thanks for the video.
You've done a great job updating this property! Congratulations and best wishes on any future projects.
The add on to the barn is a calf barn. thanks for the video. al
Thanks for finally showing us the back part of the barn. A lot of potential back there. More animals and machinery storage. Free run for cattle or horses? I love your property and what you have done so far.
I am for the pond the most because that is what I need
Suggestion for new subscribers. Go back to the early videos and get you some popcorn! Thanks Evan
Great video and that’s some great property. Inspiration for me on my 10 acres. Thanks!
Wowwwwww i love your place. It's beautiful!!
Thank you for the tour, Evan. The thing I like best is that, you have kept it looking like an old working farm. I am sure a lot of your followers are envious of you and your place. I know I am. Art in CA
Nice. Wish i was ready to have a place like that hopefully soon. God bless your life
Congratulations for keeping this farm within the family - keep doing what you do - very inspiring.
