Off Grid Homes
What is an off grid home?
An off-grid home is usually independent of public utilities for power and water. The home will usually be powered by solar or wind.
​
The off grid homes we feature are self sufficient however some may be connected to the main electrics as this is easy to replace but we make sure that all the off grid homes we feature have their own water source as this is more precious than gold.
​
An Independent water source could be a bore hole, natural spring or well. Some off grid homes we feature have a rain water catchment system and have water storage tanks.
Homesteads
What is a homestead?
A homestead is a dwelling, typically a farmhouse, along with its surrounding land and any associated buildings or structures.
The homesteads we feature are in a rural or semi-rural areas where a family can engage in ready to go farming, growing vegetables and self-sufficiency.
​
The homesteads we feature range between being on grid and off grid.
Smallholdings
What is a smallholding?
A smallholding refers to a parcel of land, typically agricultural, that is smaller in size compared to a traditional farm but is still utilised for agricultural purposes. The smallholdings we feature are often found in rural or semi-rural areas and are managed by individuals, families, or small-scale farmers and you have the ability to earn an income from a small holding.
The size of a smallholding can vary widely, but it is generally smaller than what would be considered a commercial farm. Smallholdings may focus on various agricultural activities such as crop cultivation, animal husbandry (raising livestock), or a combination of both. They may also include a farmhouse or other residential structures for the people who manage the land.
A smallholding is perfect for someone who is looking to be able to earn a living from the land and at home.
