Emily and I just bought land in northern Idaho! We found 38 acres of beautiful mountaintop property on the edge of the wilderness. Over the past 2 months we have been working hard to clean up the property, raise the roof on the shop, and grade out our parking area. Follow along with us as we developed this land into a place we can call home.
Thank you to @AmbitionStrikes for being our inspiration to settle down in northern Idaho! They are the best and we highly recommend checking out their channel!
We are a husband and wife team that loves to take on hard projects. We finished our bus project after 2 years of hard work, traveled North America for 2 years and are now working on our dream property in northern Idaho! Come join us as we document our journey. Our goal is to inspire you to go out and live your life the Hard Way!

I own land in the Coeur d'Alene area and will be doing the same thing as you in the future. What's the back story on your property? I assume since it has an open pole barn someone else had the idea of developing it but never did? Have you contacted any local well drillers to see what they might have to say about drilling a well there?
@thehardway406
@thehardway406 7 дней назад
That’s great! The previous owner of the property started construction about 15 years ago before passing away a year or two into construction. It sat vacant since. Our hill has water on it, the neighbors have wells between 200 and 400 feet deep. I can also pull from our creek for irrigation. Thanks for the comment!

In the ending drone montage in which you fly over your pole building, there are numerous dead conifers. I am not an arborist, but dead trees of that size are likely victims of pine beetle infestation, which is a very big problem across all the the western states, and which is unfortunately highly contagious from tree to tree. The Idaho Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry provides FREE forest evaluation services to all landowners who own 10 or more acres of forested land to aid land owners in restoring and keeping their trees healthy. You should give thought to contacting them as soon as possible and also to prioritizing removing all standing dead timber from your property, whether it's within your planned clearing zone(s) or otherwise, to ensure the dead trees don't spread whatever killed them (pine beetle or otherwise) to other trees. Managing a forest and keeping it healthy is a big job, I hope you two haven't bitten off more than you can chew. Good news is, by thinning your forest (if that's what needs to happen to keep it healthy), not only do you get raw logs for your own sawmill to process, but you may also be able to sell it. I have a close friend in Oregon who bought a heavily forested 10 acre parcel and after he had his timber resources evaluated, he was able to sell off his excess timber to the tune of just over $60k, which came very close to the price he paid for the acreage in the first place. As I have suggested to you, he had the state come in and do the evaluation! and they harvested the timber with no cost to himself!
@thehardway406
@thehardway406 3 дня назад
You have a sharp eye! Thanks for letting us know about what the dead trees signify- being from SD we really didn't have to worry about pine beetles. I will reach out to the IDL about that program. We are hard-at-work clearing around our shop to create a firebreak and we are removing any dead trees in the process. I will have to be more intentional about removing dead standing trees outside our firebreak clearing area. We are starting to get a decent number of sawmill logs and I am looking forward to turning those into lumber for our future building projects. Thanks for the comment!

Pine beattle can stop at one tree or go through 100 acres. If it's Douglas fir that's dying, it's most likely root rot. Both are very common in " North" Idaho . Log prices are pretty flat right now and fluctuate a lot so you may want to wait on that . Both your power and well will be expensive so save ur pennies . Best of luck and welcome to Idaho.

@@ada-yw1bb Thank you for sharing about the trees/ logging, they are subjects we know little about currently but are working to learn more. Correct, we are planning to start the electrical trenching in the next week or so. We are going to hold off on a well for at least for now. There are decent producing wells in our area, but there is no guarantee of success. Thank you so much, we have receive such a warm welcome from our neighbors/ locals and are glad to be here!

@loragunning5394
@loragunning5394 3 дня назад
@@thehardway406 Gotta be careful about damming creeks/streams for hydro, depending on location and how a dam may change flow rates downstream. Most naturally flowing water in the western US is protected by easements, etc, and while it may sound like a good idea at first, getting the governmental OK to actually build a very small hydro dam and plant could turn into an expensive nightmare of lawyers and massive paperwork. As the property is on a hilltop, wind power may be a less expensive and a less regulated option to explore, and as they already have plans for fairly extensive clearing, solar is also likely a better option. In general, even very small hydro dams are not very eco-friendly or sustainable over long term, as they silt up very quickly and become a huge time-sink to stay operational, not to mention the impact damming a free-running stream has on the existing stream banks and the existing well-established flora and fauna. Hydro dams, regardless of size, are currently being torn down all over the US and other parts of the world for these precise reasons.
@thehardway406
@thehardway406 3 дня назад
That is correct, we are already starting the water rights process. If we do it, it will not have any sort of dam (like you said, the would be a nightmare to get approved). Our creek does not have any other water rights associated with it. There is a maximum quantity of water that I will be able to draw from the creek, but I doubt I could exceed it. Solar and wind are not great options for us. We are sheltered from the prevailing winds there isn't enough sunny days in the spring/fall/winter to make solar practical, most arrays in our area are double or triple the size that should be needed and still don't produce enough power to be practical.
@ada-yw1bb
@ada-yw1bb 2 дня назад
@loragunning5394 : Mini hydro production doesn't cause any of the problems you mention, and even major dams on large rivers are much better for the environment than the stupid wind mills and solar farms that never seem to work when their needed . Can't wait to see their hydro project .

Thanks Lora, I really don't understand that mentality. In our area there are very few people that would be considered "Idaho born" and most of those are welcoming of newcomers who can support themselves and bring new money to the area. There are people who move to the area without any appreciable skills and no jobs and quickly find out that you need to be self-sufficient to make it here and that jobs here are not easily come by. Lumping all newcomers into one group is quite dimwitted. Thanks for the support!
