I’m in AZ I spend alot of my time deep in the desert. I’m familiar with old trade routes towns and roads. Along with anything else you might find in the desert. As a 21 yr old black male I applaud this smart behavior among us. We didn’t get any 40 acres and a mule my family were sharecroppers in South Carolina. With that being said my family was land poor. I’m changing that right now.

Be sure you build berms around where your house is going to be. You don’t want the monsoons to wash you away! Put lots of trees around on the berm. Good luck!!!! We’re all rooting for y’all!!!

Congratulations to you Simona for trying to get prepared for the new changes that's going on all around the world!

I've done a lot of Arizona desert land development. It is hard work that separates the doers from the dreamers. I commend you for your effort. Good luck and God's speed with your plans.

What a cool husband. He clearly isn't feeling it but is still supportive. Super cool guy.

I love this. Having land is one of the most Underrated things to have nowadays. Congratulations to you 🎉🙏🏾

I'm a native arizonan be careful when you start clearing some of the plants might be protected so you you might have to transplant them. And try to keep as much of the creosote Bush that's a lot of the stuff that's growing out there despite their size some of them are very old everything here in the desert grows slow

Ok, I’m invested!! Doing the same once my shuttle bus RV is complete!!! Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Looks great Simona, hope you put skirting around the base of your manufactured home. Otherwise packrats will make there nests under your home, that will attract snakes as there food. Property that is not lived in for periods of time in remote area's are subject to vandals. Hope you can install video camera's. You will need to install fencing around your home to keep the cattle from damaging your home and landscaping. I have 2 No Trespass signs to consider! 1st, No Trespassing, if you are found around here at night, you will be found around here in the morning! 2nd, Is their life after death? Trespass and find out!

You GO -GIRL, WITH YO BEAUTIFUL SELF!!!!!! LEAVE OLE BOY IN THE CITY.....I'LL COME & TAKE IN NATURE WITH YOU.....

*This entire video is a whole vibe. My vision is to buy land and place tiny homes on it for the homeless community. I also want separate land for people who want to live a DEBT FREE life in tiny homes that they'll purchase from me, each home woud include a green house for us all to grow our own food. I love this video! Thanks for sharing And yes, I've heard of the sheds that are turned into living spaces!*

So happy for your family! You are such a visionary. You see so much potential where others see only dirt and sand. May God keep blessing you and your family.

Welcome to my dessert! Glad to see people wanting to get away and build! I know those mountains quite well as im out there looking for reptiles a lot! Good luck, have fun and again Welcome to the best sunrises and sunsets ever!!

Hello, I recently ran across your video and wanted to say congrats. I live in AZ and plan on doing the same. Landmodo is a good source of finding property if your not already familiar. I have been looking for awhile just haven't pulled the trigger yet. Monsoons can sometimes be an issue depending on elevation. My plan is to build underground storage tanks to trap the water and filter it for use. I think you guys made and excellent power move that will pay off in the long run. This video has inspired me to get my feet wet. Definitely a blessing, again congratulations.

Fantastic video! I can relate soo much with you guys. We are from Ohio and we bought land in Tonopah along with two other families. Owning land with no debt is soo powerful! Lets connect!

Awesome! My wife and I are doing something very similar in the northeastern part of the state! Just got fencing, septic, and driveway to building pad completed last summer. It's a worthwhile endeavor. Times being what they are, this purchase gives you options that will be a blessing in the future! Arizona is such a beautiful state!

Hello Simona! Looking forward to seeing you and your husband go through this journey in your lives. Please keep us updated. God bless you and stay safe. Thank you for sharing ☺️

Congratulations! This is a start of something new! No racism no foolishness of haters around! Please start a community so that it builds stronger bonds and share and barter food products which will be essential for the future.

This is great. I know how it feels to have your own property and build on it; but hopefully you & your husband come to an agreement together. That would make the process way easier. Good luck. Will be tuning in.

I grew up in the desert. Fir me the greatest thing about the desert was seeing it in my rear view mirror. I moved to the lush green mountains.

Yeah, that shed to house vision is very cool. Way to go! I am looking forward to seeing your projects done.

Congratulations too you and your husband. That's what I'm talking about. God people prosperous. Be bless.

Congratulations!! This is super exciting! Can we please get an updated home tour of your home currently? I have been rewatching your videos bc I love all your living room/home tours🥰

I'm so excited for you. Congratulations!!! I hope to build a community one day but I got to get these bills paid first. Lol I can't wait to see the finished product. Congratulations

I’m so glad you’re back! I’ve missed your videos. Congratulations on your purchase

Absolutely Stunning place to be it's fantastic hope you both have a great time together Big Love from the UK 🇬🇧

Hello Simona! Congratulations on your new adventure! This is going to be sooo nice! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Congratulations! Question + something to think about: AZ gets HOT, even if you’re up north. A black cabin would be a pretty bad idea. It LOOKS great, but the desert is unforgiving when it comes to the sun. Also in regards to a possible SHTF situation: where will you get water? You’ll need it to drink, and you’ll need it to grow food, and I’m thinking you may not be able to just go to the store to grab some. Rainwater collection is an option during the wetter part of the year, but you’d have to collect a TON. And one last thing to think about is where will you park your vehicles? If you park them out in that sun, they will deteriorate. I’d suggest a simple garage to keep the sun off of them. Peace! 🙏🏼

I’m so happy for y’all ❤ I am glad you are back! I have missed you and your I videos! I love your love for God!❤

Girl, I am SO JEALOUS! I live in Tucson and I have been dreaming about getting myself a little parcel & doing the same thing! Maybe I should stop dreaming and just do it. I would love to be your neighbor in a like-minded community...homesteading together is where it's at! Best of luck & blessings to you!!

We just bought land in AZ 1.45 h away from LV and we Envisioned the Christian community and homestead as well so when I heard that I knew I had to link with you some how. God is awesome

That view of the mountains was spectacular!

I’m so excited for you guys! I hope one day I will be able to do this ! Your view is amazing! Praise the guy that grated all that area for you for free what a nice guy !!!

Hi Simona 😊 I have an off grid parcel about 10 minutes from you. I've had it for 4 years now. I'm not moved in for another 5 years yet because I want my daughter to graduate in Yavapai County first where all her friends are. We have been at our current house for 12 years. I did have to put fencing up around my camper because the cattle came and trampled everything; solar lights, signs, flattened one of our camper tires( yes the hoof prints were there as evidence😂 and they left big piles of cow patties all over the property. Great idea to at least get barbed wire up first and fast, then put something of your choice up later👍 Beautiful area you chose🏜️ 💯 Blessings to your family Simona and maybe me and my teens will see you around sometime. We only go out there quarterly at this time, it's a 5 hour drive round trip for us. Thank you for sharing your story Simona❣️ 🌟New Subscriber🌟

My husband is pestering me for years on selling our 8 acre homestead here in NJ to move to AZ.Ever since he saw the desert and the mountain views that envelops AZ he fell in love in it.And the skies and the stars at night are spectacular!So as soon as I say “yes” then we’ll look for at least 10-20 acres around Sedona area.Gotta make it happen because he’s pushing 63soon.

Whenever I watch Arizona content or visit Arizona, what always comes to mind is Arizona was the last state in the country to formally install an MLK holiday. It took some fight but they did it. Glad to see yall open a potential business/home there, good luck!!!

Really love this! i bought 5 acres in really cold Colorado valley but was looking in Nevada and Arizona around Wilcox-Cochise before. Now I’m in the Mexican desert instead but looking forward to watching y’all’s adventure. I remember reading about sunken garden beds to help hold onto water.

😎 AWESOME 😎 Something to keep in mind, during Monsoon Season each year, that sandy dirt road will be treacherous & slick. Within the Arial Views I noticed several washes as well, they'll be flowing like a river. I love the Desert, especially, Arizona. Oh, those Mountain Range Views ! Snakes, that's Prime Real Estate for Scorpion's. LoL 😂 I subscribed, will be interesting to watch you both be Blessed by God Almighty.

It is your land! Protect it love the beauty that God gave us. Cuz there is no more. Love your neighbor. I am sure you will meet a rancher along the way!!

Hey SImona, I'm just now seeing your channel and I love your vibe, ambition, and vision. I can see you property as being an Oasis for those that want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Add about 10 shed to homes along with some landscaping now you have a natural resort area. Anyway, just my thoughts. Again, keep up the great work and continue to keep your eyes on the vision. I wish you and your visions an abundance of success and profit. Thanks for sharing the video.

I am so proud of y'all. I am developing 20 acres in Georgia and it is work but SOUL SATISFYING WORK! Let me know if y'all need any worker 🐝's while I'm still in AZ to help.

So this is what freedom looks like, this is what generational wealth looks like. This is amazing and exciting. Keep us updated

That’s all great stuff, I wish you much luck. I’ll be doing the same thing. Thanks for sharing.

This is beautiful Simona.. been missing you and the videos! I’m happy for you and your family on your new adventure 🙌🏽

I Love it when a plan comes together and that a black cabin looks great. Like you said, the goal is to be debt free. Take Care! 💖

What a beautiful black queen & daughter in a world full of hardships for us all. Yes! Thinking out the box! Also The Bible says calculate before residing with Gods love💝. Stay happy smart & sharing your journey helps us like myself a grandma

Yall have a beautiful property praying for yall 🙏 💙💯

So good to have you back!! This is great 🤎

I'm saving my money, I'm 55, retired, still look and feel fairly young, I have the income SO I'm doing it. Thanks for the push, God will take care of us

Land is power. Great purchase. 👍🏼

I am so happy for you, my dear sister for you and your family. I hope things go great for you. You deserve everything that you ever worked for continue the journey continue to be motivated and continue to do whatever makes you happy.

I love the idea of a Christian community!!

I love that black cabin! Cant wait to see it come together!❤

What an adventure and investment pf time and effort. Doing the same thing in Northern California. I will be collecting water and storing it instead of hauling it. Every built surface will collect water. Snakes like the shade, but are usually, in the heat of the day, hanging in the brush rather than under it. In that situation, they have a limited ability to strike, but can still bite if you brush up against the brush. Snakes usually avoid humans and stay out of open areas due to predators from the sky. Warm nights are their favorite time so be careful wandering around at night, though, I have many miles of night hiking in the desert with no issues as I proceed slowly with a heavy foot fall to warn of my coming through ground vibrations. The snake will either move away or rattle to signal you. . You can find Scorpions in your bed and are much more of a concern around the house than a Rattler. A hiking partner once put his sleeping bag on a picnic table under a Mesquite tree. I told him to move the table out from under the tree, but he declined. Not long after hitting the sack there was quite a ruckus /Screaming coming from him as a Scorpion dropped out of the tree onto him. After that he paid more attention of my advisement's.

So happy to have you back Luv, blessing to you and the family . 🥰

Any update? I keep checking back for updates 😂. I subscribed now so just to follow you on this. My in laws live in North Eastern Arizona. They have 40 acres and I love visiting them out there! They are living one of my dreams! They are self sufficient, have their own water, power, shooting range, gardens and etc. They have solar power, a windmill to generate power, a shed that houses all the batteries to run their electricity and a backup generator.

The scars of your clearing will last 200 years. And the summer temps where that green Creosote Brush grows will reach 125F, with yearly rainfall approximately 2 to 3 inches. Add some trailers, broken down cars, an outhouse, and it will be another broken dream rotting into the desert. Exactly why every five miles out there dirt roads heading toward the mountains are littered with junk left behind.

GREAT TO SEE PPL BUYING UP LAND AGAIN 🎉🎉🎉 SHYT OUT TO HIT THE FAN 😅😅😅

I just found you while searching “3 acres in Arizona”. lol. I really love your spirit, your optimism and your enthusiasm. Can’t wait to see your final project

Wow! Love seeing other people of color doing this!!! I'm about to buy land in the Joshua Tree area. I want to live on it AND do some Airbnb to it! How awesome! thank you for sharing. I 've subscribed and will be following you!

Congrats on going for your dream. Just found your channel and love that a couple express different opinions. You’re keeping it real unlike other KZfaq couples where everything is great . I’m in da Bronx now but moving to Arizona. If I ever run into you guys, drinks are on me. Cheers

GOD is Great! Congratulations! I'm ready for it, I would move in when it's ready. Peace and Prayers!

Thank you Simone. I am enthralled with your endeavor. I love your vibe.

This looks so exciting. I hope you will continue documenting your journey for us. I’m subscribing now so that I can follow… ❤

Congratulations Simona & Husband I have 11 acres of land in GA I would love to collaborate with both of you. Gods blessings 🙏🏽♥️

Congratulations , Simona happy for your new journey and can wait for your next video take care and god bless you and your family 👍🙏❤️❤️

As a single older female I would love to get out the city, possibly in a tiny home community. The “Bible” says to leave the city anyway. I pray “God” will make a way for me and my family.🙏🏽 Congratulations Simone.

Love this! My husband and I bought 11 acres of land in California City, the ghost town that was meant to rival Los Angeles but no one ever came? We bought it through an owner finance network as well for a super good price but aren’t sure what to do with it. I knew I wanted it cleared but didn’t know where to start. Where did you find the gentleman who did the clearing for you? I’ve also gone back and forth between homesteading since I homeschool already, Airbnb, or like a desert family retreat since we do an annual prayer conference in our family. Still trying to decide. Looking forward to watching your journey!

We are waiting for an update 😊

Just started watching your channel 7/14/23 Love what you are doing! The Black cabin plan is EPIC!!!! SO encouraging to see someone do a black color scheme! PERFECT!!!

Hello from someone who also lives in Arizona. Hope you know how hot it gets here before you came out here. It is peaceful here but does get very hot. I have lived in Arizona for over 40+ years and two wives. I wish you good luck in your adventure.

I'm looking to do the same thing. Would you mind sharing the general vicinity? Also what about water/sewer/electric?

Congratulations you two! I hope you guys start a trend! Going out to the desert and living a wonderful life! First time I seen the guy on the tractor, the only thing that came to mind was Tremors the movie! lol Watch that first when you guys get your house built! LOL Love the video great stuff! :)

Congrats! We just bought 200 acres in Williams, 60 in Flagstaff. We are developing a private tinyhouse community for our family, and eventually for close friends to build tinyhouses, micro cottages, and micro homesteads on. The 60 acres will be for our Legacy Wagyu operations, small size vs our tx, co, wy, and mt ranches which are 1800-4500 acres each! How goes the progress? In our N AZ props we already have ibeam framing for solar arrays/covered parking which we will also gutter for rain catchment, infrastructure is done, gravel and concrete for each spot and hookups are done. Property is solar bias, so connected to grid, but each unit will have batteries for backup, and each unit will have 200 gallon storage tanks that will be under frost line for emergency water and for each spots small garden or small green house. We are still building the communal green houses, and we will be building a new barndo for the stock tanks and fishery operation so the community truly will be able to produce all their own food! Bovies, pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, conies, and a variety of different fish! Barndo will house also 4, 25k gallon storage catchment tanks to offset water, should water become scarce or unavailable. We have a place in phoenix that has sold us new storage containers we will cut partially up and weld, for our communal gym space! By next summer we are hoping to have settled already about 50-60 couples, and about 20-30 families. All our tinyhouses are being built as RV's for legality sake and ease of insuring for safety net purposes. AZ also allows folks to import and use KEI trucks or vans as UTV's so we have about 50 '2023 Daihatsu hijets that are Left Hand Drive, from the Philippines instead of Japan which are right hand drive, should ease gas consumption a fair bit! Good to see other folks building their lives out vs wasting money renting or paying a huge note for a mcmansion cookie cutter house in a planned community! God bless and enjoy the process!

Please get protection because people are not good. I love your energy about establishing your own. You will concur and be true to yourself. I pray for the best for you and your family. ❤

I know that everyone dances to the beat of their own drummer, but this is a bit much. You are building a life in out in the middle of nowhere, and surrounding residents may not be that welcoming to black people. Not to mention the dangerous animals whos space you are inhabiting. Please be careful!

Thanks for sharing Dan! So looking forward to watching more episodes

I appreciate this video so much because I'm almost at this point, I bought 39 Acres in Nevada that has to have this done so having a bit of direction when the time comes certainly helps. Maybe add a link to the people you had help you so we can see if they are available when we need them.

CONGRATULATIONS FAMILY!!!!!! SUPER HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!! GOD IS AMAZING!!!💜💜

Its great seeing others do like we are down south of Double Adobe! Its such an awesome, hard but exciting Journey! We finally have our shed and well in and are looking forward to spending more time working our adventure. I'm lookijng so forward to seeing more of your adventures!

I'm so happy to hear somebody else thinking the way I do!! Go for it.... God will lead you! I'll follow you.😀🙏

Wow look very similar to my that I installed in Colorado 2 year ago. Great minds are alike. I love the big circle. I have the contractor installed a fire pit in the big circle and place some stones around the fire pit for seating. I am looking forward to see the final product 😊

You can never go wrong buying land-smart choice! I bought some land in the Eastern part of AZ. Wish you all the best as God continues to bless you. Tell us about the night sky, I heard it's incredible!

Good to see you. Welcome back. Lord that’s to far away from other surroundings for me. I’m here for the journey.

Actually, my girl, have foundation dirt brought in to raise your homes foundation because when it rains in this area ITS TORRENTIAL!(A small lake amount of rain in hours!) I think your idea is EXCELLENT! Peace and quiet is a necessity in this world. Also, have a well drilled. Property value will rise dramatically. You go get after it and both be blessed.

I just saw one of your other videos and I left you a note. Randy Jones of Incredible Tiny Homes is planning an off grid community near that area. Please contact Randy and get more information. It always helps to get connected with like minds! I hope to do something similar in the future. Blessings to you!

congradulation on buying the land, getting out of the cities.....Arizona desert is a hard place to live but there are plenty of people giving it a try..

Hi Simona! I stumbled across your channel and just LOVE that you and your family are following your heart and moving to AZ to build your new home! My husband and I are doing the same and we are so excited to be on this same journey with you all, though a bit behind since we've had the land since Nov. of 2022 and still have not built on it. I'm so impressed with your story and am eager to follow along! Blessings to you all! ❤

Right information for Shed Lover!!!

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!! We are happy for you all!!!

Wow Awesome! You have the whole Neighborhood ❤ 🙌🙏🇺🇲 Congratulations 🎉👏❤

Thanks for sharing the info and prices makes me feel like I can do this. I'd love to live off the grid. The was informational

Congratulations and God bless you both.

Congratulations 🎉 You are so smart and brave. The land is breathtaking. Great Move - Looking Forward To The Journey 💖

Where there's no vision the people perish, Congrats!

How amazing. I've never seen your channel before, but my husband and I moved back to be near aging parents in Toledo, OH in 2020. From AZ! And, we definitely have our sights on moving back. Congrats on the land purchase. ~Tracy

I'm VERY impressed, this takes serious backbone and HEART! Good luck!

20 mins drive from town..Id live there...Peace & quiet

Congratulations, I've been looking at land in AZ. Make sure you secure your home the wind out there can be very disrespectful.

Buy a small tractor and drag an old box spring or bed spring behind it to keep up your road and driveway. It works really well
