HOW TO BUY LAND IN ALASKA| Everything I Know Off The Top Of My Head & Why We Did It

- We chose South East Alaska for several reasons. The first being climate change. We wanted a place where us and future generations of our family wouldn't ever have to worry about water scarcity. I grew up with the increase in number of wildfires on the West coast and a place where that is not a main problem was also a big deal for us. Secondly, we were looking for a place that didn't have many restrictions on the type of houses we want to build. We came full circle and started the process off thinking we would do treehouses and then we thought maybe A frames aaaaaand then maybe just a simple lean-to. Now we are sure we want to build treehouses and are right back where we started. Not all places in the US are zoned to be able to do that as your primary structures. And lastly we really just like the culture up here out of all the places we've been in the USA. We love that this is the lasting frontier that there are soo many resources up here and the people are FREAKING NICE. Anyways those are some of the boxes we had to check to really settle and I'm glad we were able to find it!
I hope this helps you in your journey to buy land if that's what you dream of! This is by no means all the information, but maybe it'll get you started down the rabbit hole!

Updates during the week!: instagram.com/adventure_time_loui/
Also keep in mind this was just me spewing what I could remember haha so definitely do your research!
follow me too..
Loui, this was a very informative video for those looking to buy land in Alaska and just for those of us following you. You and your mom are definitely hard workers to fix up your land, we’ve bought several pieces of land (actually the first piece we bought my husband asked where were we going to put our house and be able to get to it, lol) and to see the changes made from raw to improved land is so satisfying. So proud and happy for you guys
Looking forward to seeing the Alaskan tree house.
ME TOO! I’ve begun the design process!
The weather is surprisingly mild from what I can tell, probably due to being on the coast. I think you and your mom and super courageous and look forward to many more videos!
Thanks for the awesome PSA!!! Sharing the process is a great gift to us. May the universe continue to provide you light and energy through every phase of your journey🙏🏼
Thanks for all this information, Loui!
I was so hoping you would post today one of my favorite people to follow! Me and my mom go on adventures together as well! I just posted a new video we got stuck in a thunderstorm while we were trying to hike and it reminded me of your “bear in the woods” video! Love you and your mom can’t wait to see more 💜💜💜
I love viewing the videos of "Adventure Time Loui " and marvelous mom in "Out Seeking Rainbows present. I do dearly enjoy reading what others post.
@@CatherineMoore888 I do too!!!
Great info and as someone who works in Eco-Therapy, it is so cool that Alaska has that program! It may be a bit telling as well, but at least they are trying to gain funds to provide services to people! Very, very cool!
Awesome adventure ladies. Excellent advise too. May all your wishes come true.
Thanks for sharing! Much appreciated 🙏🏾
Loved the video. Thank you for sharing this information. You two are my favorite UA-cam people. I wish u the best and look forward to your videos. I’ve been looking for land and this is very helpful
You and your Mom are so inspiring. I would love a daughter just like you. Great video, Thank you so much.
Super inspiring Loui. Thanks for the info.
I love the idea of investing in your future & for future generations of your family ❤ Thanks for sharing the info. Will you be doing a live anytime soon ⁉️😊
Hey yes! Tune in today over on Patreon at 1 pm AKST. If you are in the 5$ tier and up. We are gunna go on a hike/answer questions, I wanna share about the progress with the treehouses and talk about this winter!
Such good info. Thanks for sharing!
Really great info on land purchasing👍👍
Thank you! Thank you for sharing some of your reasoning behind the move as well. I'm in Southern Cali and have been through two major wildfires. The heat is becoming unbearable. It's so sad. You all are smart to think ahead and I hope more are inspired by you to start thinking about the future. We're headed to Canada soon, following suit! Am loving the updates. Cheering you along the way. :^)
in Alaska are a wildfires are every year. if your house is in woody area then anytime can go with a fire...
Thank you! This helped tremendously!
You are courageous, where ever this project leads you, your story inspires us. The experience will profit you in spite of the end results.
This is going to work out for you you are sewing the seas that's going to cement security for your family in the future! I can just imagine you being older your mom being much older and still healthy and having children and grandchildren and telling stories about when the land was still undone! Keep up your spirits you got this you got this you got this!
3x's the size of Texas😮 I'm so happy for you and your mom purchasing land in Alaska and sharing your journey❤️🧡
Thank for the information I think it is smart of you to buy land with your mom at your age I feel it will all definitely be worth it 😊
THE VALLEY WHERE BRIDGES BREATHE
Just an idea you might be able to figure a way to use the same methods to create stairs or at least some sort of foundation that will not allow your gravel to slide so easily and much of the resource will already be available
You are an inspiration to everyone young lady. I wish you and your mother all the sucess possible. Owning roperty in the last frontier, pretty cool!
Your info is most informative,thank you.
GR8T VIDEO AND CONTENT! YOUR PROPERTY IS SO BEAUTIFUL! 😃
Would love to help!! This is awesome, congratulations!
Different video but loved it. Tropical forest in alaska, learn something everyday lol.
Thank you for this!
Very creative way to establish your homestead
Thank you ms Loui💛
Thabk you so much for your video 📹 ❤️ it was easy to follow. I'm looking to relocate in a year or so I have my own house in south Carolina but the land is tinny and right on top of 300 other little homes....I want to be secluded..I want to get away. You are so smart! That's awesome how close you and your mom are 🥰. I send positive vibes your way! It really makes life meaningful..yes hard work but sooo worth it! And yes takeing the time to enjoy it! 🥰 would like to see yearly updates on the property please 🙏 🙂
Amazing and inspiring 👌🏾😊
Happy to have you back bud hope things are going well
Yes things are great! I post every Sunday so you know to look out for us!
@@AdventureTimeLoui for sure, I’ll be here every week:)♥️
Beautiful area. Good deal☮️
i LOVE YOUR STORY!!!
Very cool thank you
How are the stars at night up there? Good dark skys?
This was really nice to see by the way, doing good work out there.
I’m sure the Indigenous population there could help out a lot with working with your land & building a homestead. Keep up the great work!
Thank you
Adventure time Loui, good on you ladies! I look forward to watching you build. I built our house from local logs so can imagine how you can utilize local materials. I liked your reasoning to go north! Keep your spirits high, the ideas flowing and harvest locally what nature provides. You might look at the books written by Sigrid Olsen “Listening Point” and Aldo Leopoldo “A Sand County Almanac” both authors talk about land ethics and building. P.S. have fun!
Hey thanks for the book recommendations and the encouragement! Can't wait to get going again this Spring :)
Good Job
Excellent information! I think you're very wise about the water situation. Climate change is real ☹️
It’s the sad truth 😔
things will come around an get better for you both /you just have to talk with the right person/a new friend-that will help on clearing/maybe pay a contractor with a bull-dozer to clear an area out an a temperary driveway /they can push the trees down an push the dead trees over an out of the way/then decide what is next/clear out an acre area/thanks much
Yes! We are awaiting our good old contractor to come back to the island to help us out with stuff. We are wary of having someone who doesn’t know slopes on inclines building our driveway. So we are waiting for the contractor who has done pretty much every driveway on the island to do it!
Then we will be able to get an arborist up on the property to cut the leaners, trees in decline, and fallen trees for us! A lofty process!
Awesome!!!👠🚌👠
Cool
A yurt treehouse would be amazing 🤩
Thank you for this info was something I’m interested in. How do I know what is south of Alaska while searching on the links you provided?
Thank you for your video. Does the DNR show the area that the land is located when you are looking at whats available?
When I saw your videos I thought that you might be inspired by some of the ideas in these UA-cam videos about living bridges
Great info! I had no idea Alaska was that big. It looks much smaller on the map. Is solar power a possibility there with all the overcast days?
Apparently it is if you have a rather large battery. We visited some new friends at their homestead on the island and they are making it work they have a whole wood shop and everything! We are going to try out hydro power on our plot. There’s so much water here haha
How do you deal with the winters? I lived and worked in parts of Alaska for a year and thinking about doing something like this. I just struggled in the winter with my depression. I sure do miss it. This is awesome!
Sorry, heard what you said but had to laugh being you were saying words that your lips wasn't in sync with, started thinking of a kung fu movie 😁. Thanks for providing info o the process of purchasing land as well as the reason for the location...definitely something to look into if you can live that type of lifestyle (spoken by a true city folk)
But what do land prices average in Alaska or just your part of Alaska?
Please share an update on this project.
How can you tell if you aren’t dealing with a scammer ? When you said that you guys didn’t see the land before purchasing, got me thinking about scammers 😰
So how do you go about that?
Hey Loui, after watching your video, I showed my boyfriend (Zane) a few videos highlighting climate change predictions on maps. I've been discussing a few areas in Southern Alaska with him since then. As this summer is fairly close to completion and our family business (a legal mj farm and edibles production company) is taking up a ton of our time, I won't be able to look into property properly until next year. My thought is, next year, around late spring to early/mid-summer, we're going to need someone to scout property for us there in your neck of the woods. As I know that some UA-camrs are willing to do that on a for-hire basis, I immediately thought that I should ask if you and your mom are interested. Would you be interested?
hey there! that’s exciting that you are in the market for some land here! drop me a line at adventuretimelouiextras@gmail.com and we can discuss a possible land scouting relationship! I love going to look at land and surveying it. Could potential work out.
@@AdventureTimeLoui sounds good Loui, will do. It may take a day or two though. We're opening a large legal marijuana farm with my family and I'm a bit behind on work this week. 🙂
How many acres did you buy????
Where does your brother do? Is he on social media? Is he staying in Cali?
Such Smart STRONG Ladees...Enjoyy Ur LANDing..LOUi..couldnt Help but think of U when 👁 saw a Request frm @Isabel Page 4 a CameraPerson this November?? ...AWESOmm Collab?🤙🏽💜🐾
I am kinda confused. You first said $500 + then you said $300+ so was the first amount correct or the second one please?
It's $500!
@@AdventureTimeLoui Thanks
It just occurred to me- because of the steep pitch of your land, have you considered digging into the earth, shoring up and then coating with clay or whatever....I'm thinking about heating and cooling. It could be just a portion of your dwelling...? I guess I don't imagine you being able to build anything entirely by yourselves given that your land is raw and the kind of labor needed for digging out etc...is cheap.
Did you buy land on Wrangell Island?
@Jonathan Smuck I was just on Wrangell with my native Alaskan friend for their family reunion. I'm part Hawaiian indigenous and it was a great cultural exchange.
Get armed ladies ...its just part of being up there whether your into or not into firearms ...I can help with options...I'll be following your channel ! What a great adventure 👍🏾
Google earth could be a easy way to look at the property before buying.
its one year i lived there 3 years you have to live in Alaska 1yeaer
@Isabel Paige...?😹
Why is price a secret? No one cares
You had my attention until you mentioned climate change 🥴
One thing is get a land for investment.
But other is having for living but you guys have no skills living on it
Moving to Alaska because of climate change from California Bruh💀
