I've had a 10 year plan to build a custom home on some land that I can turn into a homestead. This is the intro to my custom home build in Colorado, that will eventually be home to my homestead and a more self-sufficient life. This video on the homestead covers property / location selection, house design considerations, some frustrations of trying to build in the 2020s, and things I've learned so far as the owner builder / general contractor.
