Homesteading Around Charlottesville Virginia | How to Start on Just 1.5 Acres

Thinking about buying your first home and starting a small homestead? You might not need as much land as you think!

I'm Maury — a past farmer and current Charlottesville, VA real estate agent. Since 1990, I've helped buyers find the perfect properties for homesteading, gardening, and fresh country living. 🐔

In this video, I’ll walk you through:
✅ How much land you actually need for basic homesteading (hint: it's less than you think!)
✅ What kind of open acreage to look for when buying a home
✅ Why understanding your septic field location is critical
✅ A tour of my own small homestead setup: garden, chicken run, and more!

If you're dreaming of a simpler lifestyle — growing your own food, gathering fresh eggs — and buying your first home near Charlottesville, I'm here to help.
