Great representation, 18 houses on one acre... you gotta really like your neighbors 😂
Lol, you got that right!
Exactly
Just bought 12 acres, and I’m so excited to start building my family a home! Thanks for the video!
That is awesome! Best of luck!
Cost
@@drawingandartbyarush6811 $53,000. In my state it was actually a pretty good deal I thought though. It was a couple thousand dollars less per acre than my state average.
Where are u from ?
@@ImNotAnAlienLizardPerson wahh! Just 50k usd for 12acres?? Broo here in kerala( india) 1acre costs that much ..(unless it's farming only allowed land...there is a division here).
I’m in the U.K. but I’m inheriting land in St Elizabeth, Jamaica and I just wanted to know what an acre would look like. I found your video very clear, visually pleasing, to the point and informative. Thank you.
I'm glad our video was helpful!
That's great you inherited land. I'm a Jamaican and I'm eager to buy at least half an acre in Jamaica, preferably Portland or Hanover.
So how many slaves do you think your ancestors ran there?
How’s that land in Jamaica going?? Lucky!!
18 houses on an acre 😳. I am not sure why 1 acre in Canada always looks smaller than what I usually see in other countries !!
It's because of the metric system. :D
Someone fumbled this part I do believe. Unless the houses are shacks. But they had nice homes in the video lol
The "house"/size of the house 🏠 being referred to , is SMALL.
Thank you! I am dreaming of building a small cob house and veggie garden on my own land, and I think 1 acre would be lovely. Quite sizeable. More so than I thought!
Best of luck!
@@GokceCapital thank you
We’ve got the same dream ❤
Best of luck. 0.92 acres is 200 feet by 200'
Just FYI… you may not be able to “farm”… but you can grow more than enough on an acre!
Thank you for your comment! This is good to know.
I enjoy your content and I think you're providing a great service here. Some ideas (if you don't mind): Script your videos. Reading from a rehearsed script will help you get your speed up and improve the pacing of your videos. My guess is this video could have been half the time with the same amount of information and would have made for even more engaged viewing. But again, I'm thankful for what you're doing!
Thanks for the tips!

Hello William, I'm sorry you have had such a hard time. Are you familiar with landwatch.com? They have a lot of vacant land listings around the US and many different sellers list on their site. If you keep an eye out, I'm sure you can find a lot and seller that meet your requirements.
Your explanation was excellent and logic thank you ♡ 5☆
Glad it was helpful!

My father recently bought 15 acre of agriculture land in india and i want to know what is the price of one acre in your country? In my city one acre land cost around 300000 india rupees which changed 60000 Canadian dollars. I want to know did land measurements are same countrywise or it's changes?
Hello Jass, there is no set price per acre in the United States. You would have to look at sales comps for a particular county or zip code in order to determine the price in that region. You can always use a site like landwatch.com to look up sales comps.
Do you think in the country about 1.5 acres with septic tank and water already ran and also a barn on site with water electricity ran to it with storm cellar would also be enough to build a home. It’s in the country and land in the family. I don’t think there is zoning issues with septic. There is currently mobile home there but will he moved in future. Is that enough to build a 2,000 sq foot home and still have space and raise some chickens also
Hello Daniel, it really depends on the county zoning rules and regulations; however, the fact that there is already a well and septic on site is a really good sign!
My daughter has 2 1/2 acres. 1/4 of that is a pond. Then she has a big ranch house w/garage, a big Pole barn and a good size garden. She has a well and septic. So lots of yard to still mow and to play in. She has chickens and is getting goats next Spring. 1 1/2 acre is more than enough to build a house. You just have to make sure it’s far enough away from the septic.
Hi I want to move to Texas one day and buy an acre my dream is too have a tiny little farm😀👍✨
Best of luck!
Texas is an amazing place! If you do it, we have the best Mexican food here lol
Awesome 👏 . Good luck .
What kinda farming are you looking to do ?
@@GokceCapital thanks!
@@goodweatheronly I want a hobby farm!!
Where’s my 40 acres and a mule America? Hmmm
Ms Sweets I’m with you 😾💯 I think upper white America hoodwinked us 🤯💀...😂😂😂😂😂
Lovely Video! Apologies for butting in, I would appreciate your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Eliamaan Crisis Genie (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a great one of a kind guide for conquering the coming collapse without the headache. Ive heard some great things about it and my buddy at very last got excellent success with it.
@@starrgotti_2005 because of greed. Land hoarder. Nobody needs that much land other than farmers.
You were never a slave...so you’re not getting it
@@patriarch_1776 they never gave it to the slaves either tf?
An acre is an area of a rectangle whose length is 1 furlong and whose width is 1 chain!
Yes!
I just bought my first piece of vacant land and I would like to turn it into a campsite and fill it with yurts. But I am not sure how to maximize my profitability. Should I put multiple campsites on 1 acre or 1 20 foot yurt on each acre and just buy more land?
A video on the subject would be awesome
If you haven't done so already, I would first check with the county to see what is allowed. It may not be possible to have multiple (or any) campsites on 1 acre. Once you know what is allowed per county building and zoning regulations, you can then run a project pro forma to see what the most profitable option is.
@@GokceCapital already on top of it thank you so much
It might be useful to say how big an acre is compared to a typical city block.
About 2.75 miles
@@effff327 I was saying this because most people dont actually know how big a mile or acre is. If you were to ask any random person on street how big an acre or sq mile is and plot if from where they are standing they could not tell you. People have no real knowledge of an acre in day to day life as most houses built now are not on 1 acre lots anymore and no lots in major cities are 1 acre at all.
@@Kev4Kev oh yes that’s true well 1.37 acre = 1 stadium football field
Um can anyone telle 1acres length and breadth
Do you know of 1-2 acre lots in a nice community?
Hello Tony, where are you looking? If you are interested, you could take a look at our listing page (gokcecapital.com/listings).
Its really difficult to visualise any distance area
THANK YOU FOR MEASURMENT
You're welcome!
I inherited 9 acres in Florida, orlando area... thinking about selling
Why would you do that 🤦🏿♂️
Don't sell
Where in Orlando
Im keeping
Why? 🤦♀️🤦♀️
1 acre is definitely enough for a market garden "farm"
All the rich people in the comments while i'm as poor as the dirt they buy on acres of land :-(
Thanku i own land yet no nuthin about size an price. My dads really old
How big a house in an acre of land usually🤔
It really depends. There's no rule of thumb, but you do have to comply with all local zoning and building regulations.
❤👍
How many square meters in 1 hectare
It's 10,000 square meters to a hectare.
How many house can you build on 5 acre
That really depends on local zoning regulations as well as how much land each landowner will want as part of their property. The average amount of land a new home requires in new subdivisions is ~.2 acres, so that would theoretically be 25 homes on 5 acres. However, this would again need to be in compliance with all local zoning and subdivision regulations. You can also find more information on our blog post here: gokcecapital.com/how-big-is-an-acre/
How much is 1 acre worth ??
Hi Isaac, it depends on where you are purchasing. You can always go to a site like LandWatch.com to look at local comps.
In India 1 acre is not huge but not small either.
An acre for a well and septic tank! Ok.
Ikr?!
Not true I dunno where she got that from
Videos like these are made because people know that there are millions of clueless people out there! I said the same thing - wells and septic tanks are essentially about depth. There are natural wells and man-made wells...only a man-made well would be impacted by zoning... obviously natural wells are found where they are found and if one is not within your property boundaries - oh well.
How big is 10,000squaremeter land
That's about 2.5 acres!
Who else is here because they are about to inherit a land?
I heard Americans tried to move to normal metric system, but general education of average American limited understanding, so they still measure distance with feet, elbows, squirrels and with whatever is next to them 😅
Lol!
Oh wow...my two acres may not be enough!
Enough for what? You have essentially two football fields to work with... I mean really.🙄
Are yiu turkish ?
Hi mam
Horrible example I've seen plenty of animals on 0.6 9 square feet and could hold horse stables and horses chickens and goats whichever one you want to choose those who say that an acre isn't enough probably has never lived in a maker home in first place I live in Leona Valley and that's all you see is ranch homes I know people that have 1 acre homes and that have plenty of space for horse stables and chickens a big thumbs down. How can you say that the only reason to buy an acre is just to have a septic tank and extra land but not suitable for ranch animals. Sorry but thats a big misconception.
Thank you!! I'm watching these videos and I swear most of these people have no clue of just how much space you have in an acre!
Lol my dad have 20 acre of land
Be grateful; some don’t even have a pot to piss in.
