There are a number of websites, search engines, and YouTube channels available to help you find land, and set up your homestead. The following sections contain short lists of some of my favorite online resources. Many of these content creators have also written books, which are good to have on hand in the event that you ever lose internet or choose to go completely off-grid. I’m sure you’ll find many more helpful sites as you go forward with your land search.
The One Book You Need for Survival or Homesteading
The Encyclopedia of Country Living
Search Engines for Rural Real Estate and Land
Land.com
Provides links to other land search sites.
County Public Records and GIS Maps
Websites will vary from county to county. Some counties may not post all the information you need on their websites. You might have to make a good old-fashioned phone call or two.
