I’ve been to this property! I’ve hiked it’s acres and the land behind it. It’s beautiful! I’m from Arkansas, USA and have visited NZ twice. I know the previous owners of the house and I’m so thrilled to watch as you renovate and make it your own dream home and property! God bless!
It's incredible to see that our house went to such a lovely couple with a heart for the homestead lifestyle ❤ All the best!
Awesome result. I adore the Wairarapa. I lived there for 4 years when I was ten in an amazing homestead and 30 acres of land. As a city girl moving to the country they were some of the happiest years of my life. Now my partner and I live in a beautiful lifestyle property in Mangaroa Valley recreating that beautiful experience.
You've chosen the best country in the world to live. After visiting 70 countries I still love my homeland. Yay you do too!
Aww! Sounds like you know all about it Natalie! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. We hope to give our future kids a memorable country childhood
Couldn't be happier for you both!! This is so so perfect for you ❤️
Thank you Raya!!! We’re so stoked. Hope everything is going well with you and Louis!!! Congrats again on your engagement. 🎊🙌🏼
Really exciting news, congratulations guys! We spent just over four very happy yrs, living in Wgtn, before returning to the UK. The land of the long white cloud is a remarkable and precious place and, as I'm sure you already know, is full of warm, welcoming and incredibly friendly people. (The natural food produce is simply outstanding too!)
Cheers Paul!! We are so grateful to be here in my father’s homeland. Where in the UK are you?? My family originally came from South Downs area
Congratulations Alex and Carrie! Isn’t wonderful how the Universe works… all we have to do is step aside. So excited for you two and looking forward to watching the journey with you two. Have an awesome weekend!
Thank you Damon! I appreciate your support brother. I’ve seen you in the comments through this whole journey. Thank you 🙏🏼
Buying a house is an emotional roller coaster. We had 2 failed offers before we found our home last summer but we are SO glad now that those offers didnt work out because we love where we ended up. Happy for you & this exciting part of your journey together!
It’s funny how that works isn’t it??
Hindsights a funny thing isnt it, we also failed our 1st house offer we put in (the bank wouldnt finance us because there was so much wrong with the house - me being a Builder I thought nah no worries the more fkd up it is the cheaper the house will be I'll fix it all up) anyway... we ended up in a far better location, better house better everything ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
My partner and our daughter lived in the house from July-February when we transitioned to NZ from the States in 2016. It has a beautiful soul about the place and is coming to you from our good-hearted friends. It was such a magical place to get to know NZ and for our then one-year-old daughter to settle in. There were lots of long walks to the fairy forest in the back of the valley and to the airport at the top of the hill across the road to enjoy the most glorious sunsets. The native tree by the kids maze in the back yard was planted from a seedling for our daughter during our time there. It holds a special place in our hearts as well, and I wish you the best of luck on your new adventure!
You are living your dream. Finding a place where you can set down roots and enjoy the produce of your garden. Flowers, fruits, vegetables, and chickens.
Congratulations! We found our dream house last year in Germany and did a lot of renovations. We really appreciate that opportunity to create a unique home for our family!! ✨🏡🔨🌱 Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Danke! You know all about the feelings then. Where in Germany?! I loved my travels through Bavaria and southern Germany. My grandfathers family came from Tauberbischoffshein - hope I spelled that right. I think it’s near the Black Forest. I’d love to go one day.
originally I'm from Russia, but 6 years ago I moved to New Zealand. What a beautiful country! Good luck))
Thanks :)
I grew up in the Wairarapa but have settled in Wellington. Love going back for weekends and enjoying the slower pace and sunshine. Good choice!
It’s a lovely spot and we love that Wellington is close
Honestly can't believe I've been following your journey for 8 months now since you decided to move to our beautiful country. Congratulations on finding your new home! Cannot wait to see what excitement more comes your way
Thank you Colette! We’re so happy to be here and we appreciate the support!
congrats can't wait to see all the lovely things that come along with the homestead.
Thank you so much! We’re here now and diving into all the projects. New video next weekend. In the meantime check out the video I published yesterday
Congratulations on finding a home!! It looks absolutely beautiful!!!!!
Thank you David 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Congratulations. Really happy to see that you finally find your lovely new home ❤.
Looking forward to seeing your garden bloom and grown. I love your Travel videos and I'm excited to hear that you planning to do Guides but I have to admit that I really enjoy your content lately as well so keep going 😊.
Stay healthy and much love to you three from Germany
Danke Birgit! We appreciate your support. Lots of new content on the way, I’ll strive for a good balance with the videos but lots of the new vibe coming. 🙏🏼
Ah Alex, you said Welcome on back, just like Carrie does, made me smile! I'm so thrilled for you guys, the place looks amazing and I'm looking forward to following along on your big adventure. It's lovely to see you both looking so happy after what I'm sure has been a rollercoaster year so far! Home at last! 🏡
Thank you Helen! I guess I picked up her phrase without noticing lol!
So, so happy for you guys. Congratulations on getting your new Home. Loving it so far and excited for the future projects. This is going to be a fun journey and so glad you guys are sharing it with us. Love you guys. Be safe!😘🤗☀️🇻🇪
Muchas gracias Monique! We are so happy and excited to share
Im so happy for you both! You're living the life i hope to have one day. ❤
So excited for you both. Sweet Carrie has the most happy smile and bright eyes. Love watching the excitement in her face. I just love you both. CANT WAIT to see move videos of your new house woohoo.
Aww thank you Sheila. Such a kind comment. We’re both sending love your way!
How exciting! I'm so happy for you both!
We are so happy. Thank you Jennifer!
Oh my goodness, you have picked the most wonderful area to live! And....you get Poppies! The best wine and winery. Congratulations!!!
You and Carrie made the right decision. New Zealand is an excellent country if you prefer fresh, peaceful, and practically without pollution (perhaps only in highly urbanized cities like Wellington and Auckland areas?). You will acquire the land and homestead of your dream. God bless you both.
I grew up in the Wairarapa and i am currently located in Central Hawkes Bay you'll love it in the Wairarapa, Congratulations to you both
We love both of the regions and really boiled down to either one of them. Can't wait to get moved in!
Congratulations guys!l! The journey wasn’t easy but I’m happy you’ve found your new place. We’re also doing renovations to our house outside of Wellington and starting our veggie garden next summer. Can’t wait to follow along your journey with you.
Amazing and congrats on your home too!! Thanks for following along! Happy planting :)
So happy for you guys! Can't wait to follow along your journey with you and all the adventures you have ahead!
Thank you so much Dorottya 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
That’s awesome news. Congrats to you both!!
Thank you Jose!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing news you guys! So stoked for ya - I’m bloody jealous too! Haha. Can’t wait to see what adventures you get up to on your new homestead ❤️❤️
So happy for you! Congratulations! That place is gorgeous! 🤗♥️♥️
Thank you Roxanne!!!
I have been following your journey since you left the US for NZ. This video has absolutely made my week!! After all the ups and downs you guys have been through, not letting the negatives get you down, having faith and trusting the process… it has all finally paid off. Congratulations team!!
Thank you so much! Hopefully there are peaches in the orchard too ;)
Congrats guys so deserving. Great things come to those that wait. Can’t wait for the rest of the journey
Thank you so much Melanie! We appreciate the support 🙏🏼
What a beautiful couple! Congrats on finding this beautiful home. Looks amazing!
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you and looking forward to future vlogs!
Thank you Cindy! We’re so excited to share this journey!

Thank you Emma!!! We love it down there :)
Qué país NZ! Viví en ambos países, y me encantan, pero sin duda que NZ tiene algo especial. La naturaleza y su gente! Congrats!
Muchas gracias Juan!! Si hay algo especial aquí sin duda
Congratulations and all the best on your new adventure as well as a new chapter in your lives !!!
Stay happy, stay blessed and stay safe !!
Thank you so much Mohit! 🙏🏼
So thrilled to see the clips of Waiohine Gorge! Such an awesome place! Welcome neighbors! Bound to see you sometime in our little corner of the world! So happy for you two, fantastic 🤗
Make sure you say hello! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Welcome to the Wairarapa! I have worked in the Wairarapa for the last 13 years and it is a gorgeous region with many wonderful people - which now include you both! All the best with the move and the renovations :)
Thank you Mike!! We appreciate the hospitality!
I am so thrilled for you! What a great property and fun plans! Thanks for sharing it.

Immigrating to Newzealand is my next mission , thanks for making that dream more stronger Alex sir.
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
How exciting! Congratulations - I'm so happy for you both. You're really neat people and your two UA-cam channels are my favourites by far -they are both so interesting and skilfully made. I enjoy everything you share.
Aww thank you so much Lyn!! That really means a lot. We really appreciate your support and kind words! Thank you.
Congrats on the big move y'all 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Welcome to our Wellington region 😊🙏🏽 I'd also like to thank you for your amazing videos and how you have shown the beauty of Aotearoa. Can't wait to see your journey unfold. 😁💜
Aww thank you so much! We’re so excited to explore more and to put down roots here in Aotearoa

We hope that you both fall in love with New Zealand.
Most people would love to envy you, in your position enjoy from us all.
So happy for you! You deserve all the best. Congratulations!! 🍾✨🤩
Thank you Marisa!
Yay!! So beautiful!!! I am soooo excited for you lovebirds!! As I like to think, the universe really does send us exactly what we need- when we need it. I went through my own house hunting roller coaster, and I’m so glad that the other homes I looked at didn’t work out. I love my home that I live in now, and it is the perfect place for me to be at this moment in my life. And, when I look back, so many other opportunities as well that I wanted to work out so badly, but by not getting them, it opened the door for better things ahead! Cheers to new adventures!! I’m looking forward to learning more about perma culture, home renovations, more travels to come, and all the other neat things you fun folks get yourself into! Way to go! You guys dreamed of your future, and now are living the dream!
Thank you so much! You’re so right about being sent what we need. Sending good vibes your way 🙏🏼
Congratulations that's amazing. Great to see its all working out. My wife and I live up in the sunny hawkes bay. New zealand is an amazing country and it's soo cool seeing our country on you tube and other platforms. Amazing
Cheers Rik! We love the Hawke’s Bay! That’s where my old man is from. :)
We found our perfect home in Richmond, Va. in April of this year. Enjoy your home in one the greatest places on earth. All the best.
Thank you!! Virginia is gorgeous!
Yep. I'm jelouse, great find you two. That place is awesome.
Congratulations. I hope you enjoy the Wairarapa and all NZ has to offer. We welcome you and cant wait to see how this new home unfolds.
Exciting guys ❤️❤️
Cant wait to follow this journey!
Thanks Dee! We’re glad to have you coming along!
Just imagine in the near future - you make your coffee from your kitchen and carry two outside, one for you and one you made for Carrie. You sit in your porch alongside her and you both look into the field and see happy Lanka running around alongside trees fully blooming with fruit and the crops growing 💚
Congrats guys! Cant wait to see the process :)

Thank you Jennifer!
I am so happy for you guys! We have started saving up for our down payment so we can buy our own homestead! We decided to start looking so we could get motivated! We will be going from a condo with no yard, to hopefully 5-10 acres! We plan on getting horses, goats, alpacas, chickens, and who knows what else! We'll start small, obviously, but we're ready!
That’s the move! Start looking, keep saving, perhaps invest a small portion and keep working towards the dream 🙌🏼
Congratulations! So happy for you! Looks absolutely beautiful 😍
