Why These SAILORS Are Buying LAND | Sailing Soulianis - Ep. 100

- Опубликовано: 31 окт 2021
- For the past four years, we’ve lived as nomads, splitting our time between cruising and working on Soulianis, and driving around in our van, Chip, to see family & friends, while hunting for real estate.
It’s been a dream for us to travel, but we’ve also really wanted our own little piece of earth - a place to call home. The arrival of our firstborn has moved that goal to the top of our list.
Join us as we search for the perfect piece of property, and begin planning some of our long-term goals.
Much love,
Lauren, Kirk & Renata

For those who work hard, dreams do come true. Congratulations.
Renata has really upped your COOL FACTOR guys!!!!
You guys are the cutest family...I literally smile so much when watching your videos.🙂 Best of luck in all of your future endeavors.
I was very fortunate to raise my family at the foot of Avalanche Hill in Boyne City. From there I would walk to the Harborage Marina where you were at and sail to work in Charlevoix to my office across the street from the city marina that you also stood at. It was a very special way to live for over a decade. From Charlevoix, we launched on many sailing adventures across the upper lakes and the North Channel. We were also very fortunate to live downtown Harbor Springs within walking distance of the boat and finally on Walloon Lake.
What time frame did you live there? We lived on Front street right at where the boats were put up. Dad had his Power boat in the Marina for year, her name was “Kira-da-Naid” and had a beautiful painted transom. Ive got so many sweet memories of that town. We were there in the 80’s before the condos went up on the lake shore. There was a railroad track and a caboose. Rumor had it that 6 pack Ed wintered in it. My dad knew him and said he was actually a millionaire.
Beautiful piece of property guys, so much you can do with this. Glad that you have hydro and at least a place to live in until you build. Congratulations to you both, well done. Now you need to buy a toboggan!
Beautiful piece of property. Renata is definitely a “mini mom”. Congratulations
Boyne City!!!! Yay!
Hooray! And what a sweetie your little girl is. :)
I follow a few sailing channels; all of which extol the wonders of travel and adventure. I like that, too. But you’re the only channel that balances that wanderlust with the virtue of place. Locality and belonging are vital to human thriving. Thanks for striking the balance.
Welcome home you guys! Congratulations on all of your successes. It has been so fun watching you guys over the years and seeing you back in Michigan is awesome. I hope we get some more great lakes footage along with all your other MI adventures. Hope to bump into you all someday on the water or in the woods. Congrats!
Hey guys, I happened to jump on my tablet and pop on RUclips this morning my luck ur !latest video I think it said4 days ago showed up on my homepage by random .. So first I'd like to say congratulations on buying your dream property!! The views looked simply stunning! The last6 months I've been watching goodness probably in the thousands of videos on sailing from different sailing channels, to "how to" I just start watching next thing I know it's midnight again haha..so far ur videos are pretty amazing as I said I've watched the latest video then I subscribed and just finished ur very first video on ur channel, way back I'm about to start watching ur second video anyways just wanted to say I really appreciate all of ur hard work that you guys put into your videos it really shows! Can't wait till I get caught up shouldn't take me to long I'm retired and I just put the coffee on. Thanks again for sharing. I'll definitely share ur vids in my area of Clearwater Florida.
You guys are smart to buy land, and the kid is so lucky to have you as parents because she will probably inherit it. My wife and I bought 160 acres 20 years ago, and we have been enjoying it ever since. Its a decent investment and it always brings contentment, which is good for your mental health. Land is the ultimate asset, get as much as you can afford.
Congratulations on the property!! Fun to see how quickly she has grown, so happy for you guys & making your dreams come true.
So happy for you. You're family is just awesome. Congratulations on your land. Patience paid off! Our new Grandson is just 2 months old. It is awesome watching you with your daughter and our son, his wife and their baby. It warms my heart. Best wishes. I am so glad you continue to post videos.
How AWESOME, Congrats on Baby, Land and new LIFE..
So happy for you guys !
Congratulations on the little one and on finally finding that place you can call home. I'm so happy things worked out for you kids. I look forward to many more years of adventures and thank you so much for sharing them with us.
God Bless...
That's a gorgeous chunk of land guys. Great contour and vegetation
We were looking in the same area and are closing this week on a smaller piece, just under two acres. Glad to hear that you found a happy place. Renata has some wonderful adventures coming.
Just found your vlogs yesterday, and love them! We have property near Charlevoix and completely understand the desire to settle there. Beautiful country! Thanks for sharing your adventures and sweet Renata!
Congratulations! A perfect, beautiful location. We are delighted for you. Can’t wait to meet you on the water.
She's sooooo adorable!
Permaculture... YESSSSS! I'm deeply obsessed with both sailing and permaculture. You guys just tick all the boxes. Congrats on the land and following your dreams.
Congrats on everything. Good delivery , a beautiful baby and now your very own dreamland . I'm really glad for you !
You nailed it, a place to call home. We were in search for the same thing, found our 25 heavenly acres in rural East Texas. Now we have a place we call our homestead and it is home. We will continue to travel with our RV, but have a place to be self sustainable. Love the direction you are going.
@sailingsoulianis I spend the best parts of my childhood on Lake Charlevoix. I learned to sail there. I get it. Congrats.
You are living the life that so many strive for, but fail to achieve. Congratulations on your achievements! You are one of the successes.
Love it all..So glad to see you again.
Yay! Been waiting impatiently for a vid!
nice piece of Pure Michigan folks...the adventure continues
Just signed on a lake front property myself today. It was FOUR YEARS of negotiation. Congratulations!!!
congratulations , it's a beautiful property you now have. I wish you all the absolute best for the future and have really enjoyed the journey to date
Congratulations on that beautiful property!! well done ! Fair winds and calm seas ⛵️
What a beautiful spot!! I know you'll love having this as home base. Looking forward to all your future adventures. Renata is so beautiful 💗
Congratulations on your new baby and your new property!! My husband and I love watching your videos!
Congratulations! Great base from which to sail the Great Lakes in the summer!
Congratulations 🎊 on episode #100! You have inspired us all.
Congratulations! There is truly nothing like a place to call home! Nice spot and all... :-)
Woo hoo! ♥️✌🏼⛵️
Congrats! So much more fun to be had.
This seems to be the perfect spot for all of you. I hope that you are very happy in your new home.
Awesome episode. Congratulations on your purchase, looks like a great place to raise a family. Have fun guys
Feeling a bit nostalgic. I spent so many years in Harbor Springs area. Sailing, playing on the beaches, skiing in the winter. Thanks for the time to reminisce.
It is so great to watch your life journey. I have always thought you have worked so hard to achieve your goals. That is what makes your story so interesting to me. Congrats on finding your future home.
Thanks so much, so glad you’re enjoying the journey along with us!
So happy for your little family, go guys!!
Awesome....welcome to Michigan!
Congratulations. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
Congratulations on your new home. It is great to see you found the perfect location. I purchased 5 acres in S.E. Texas
with a small farm house and out building for the same reason. I down sized my sailboat from 60 feet to a 25 foot trailer sailor that is still blue water capable. I'm one hour inland from the coast of Beaumont, Texas. Love having a farm & the boat life together. Good luck with your new adventure. S/V Cork ~
Very cool
I'm sure you know this by now, but ya'll make really cute babies! Congrats on the property. Looks like a perfect spot for totally adaptable future plans. Could not be happier for the entire family. Renata seems content with you, wherever that may be. Life doesn't get better than that. Congrats again and well done!!
How nice! I live in central MI, so this will make things even more interesting!
You have made my day by posting a new video, you’re the perfect 3'some. Congratulations on the land purchase
What an awesome piece of property. Just love it!! ❤ and to see you all together. I can feel such love between you all. It's wonderful to watch. I am so happy for you. Congratulations. And I look forward to more adventures. Take care and be safe. And remember home is where the heart is. ❤
Thanks so much Elise 🥰
I am so happy for you all. 💗
Congratulations, that is an awesome spot!
welcome to Michigan. I live across from Michigan Adventure Park.
Well now, a BIG thumbs up for this one! Congrats.
I’m happy for you! I have Michigan roots and am moving to Traverse City soon from Portland OR after 11 years. Good luck. Love your show.
Congrats!!
Beautiful episode!
Congratulations on Episode 100! Outstanding channel
as my father used to always say, "...they ain't making anymore land..." Nicely done
Well done guys, a lovely property with such brilliant potential. Your baby daughter is such a sweetie. Good luck with all your future plans
.... missed the notification for this video and went looking, glad I did .... what an awesome piece of property, love your flat, rolly, hilly description and want. What a amazing view ....that sure was clear water in the marina, is the whole lake like that .... you two, three sure picked a great area to be looking for property, those towns, cities are so quaint and inviting and with sailing communities .... you mention permaculture food forest of which at this point I know nothing about. Greenhouses and hydroponics, aquaponics intrigue me though. .... back in the 80's when interest rates where just below 20%, was in a business heavily into real-estate. We were able to get Swiss financing of 4%. The one requirement that stuck in my mind to this day was that mortgagee had to have 60% equity. If the market does tumble, it has to go a long way before you would loose your chunk of dirt with improvements. ..... Lauren, had to laugh, tobogganing hill for Renata, and you wouldn't be out there taking just one more run .. smilin .. like the requirement and the emphasis put on it that you can get to any place in the world easily from there ... so plenty more adventures in your lives .... thx for sharing the peek into your lives .... and yes, as always .. never stop dreaming, just dream bigger .. have fun be safe, save our oceans .....
What a find! And perfect plan!!! So very happy for you!!!! :)
So happy for the three of you . Let the new adventure start .Mazel Tov ......!
Congratulations, very well done! You know what they say about land, - they're not making it any more....👏👏🤗🤗
Yea you !
Congrats to the three of you.
Welcome to Northern Michigan where I lived and worked for many years! Still retain life-long friendships there and return a few times per year even though I live out West. I even know a few sailors in the Cheboygan area. I wish you a great 2022!! When I Subscribed, I had no idea you had ties to Michigan; but must have felt those "nice people" vibes :)
Congrats...... looking forward to the next chapter of your journey.... little one has all the crazy faces...🤙
Man, that land and situation looks awesome! Congratulations!!
Congrats you two!
Congratulations! I love northern Michigan. I used to vacation on Torch Lake from the late 60's through the 70's We would day trip to Charlivoix and Petosky some years. There was a restaurant called Wings, I think by the draw bridge into Lake Charlevoix We always had dinner there and watched all the boats coming and going. The land you bought looks just like I remember that neck of the woods. I wound up in southern Vermont, so I didn't do to bad either.
That's a lovely place to call home,congratulations 🙂
awesome guys congrats!!!!!
Great stuff, guys, and you have a really beautiful little girl! Well done all round.
You both are good story tellers. I'm sure there will be more about your land and, hopefully, about your sailing.
Congrats to you both on purchase of a NEW parcel of land.
You are blessed and making fabulous decisions for you future. A bit envious.
You could buy a high cube 40 foot storage container to put on your property to store your personal items in so you could AirBnB your house while you're on the boat.
Love the video - good Luck!
So cool to see you may have ended up less than an hour from us. I have followed you since your trip to Charlevoix a few years ago. Its great to see how you think things out and follow through. We are from the villiage of Williamsburg, like you mentioned there are so many great places in Michigan to explore and enjoy.
"Babies are weird..." Truer words have not been spoken. Love from the Maine coast to Renata!
Congratulations! Looks beautiful.
Now that is a nice slice of life, congratulations!
I find it interesting that you say you'd like to be on an adventure and have somewhere to call home. Somewhere to come back to. I say interesting because, although I have somewhere to live, I just finished year two of this adventure we (my family) are on and have no idea when it will end, where we will go next, or even where we will call home one day. Because we are enjoying the adventure. Some day I will have to find "home" but I have no idea where that will be, or when we will find it. Congrats on the new land!
God's blessings for your new arrival!
So loved watching your sailing life videos..... thank you for sharing
Now the best chapter starts enjoy every second because before you know it its off to University they go ❤️❤️
Awesome!
So happy for you guys! We did it opposite of you. Bought land to develop in northern MI and now scoping the market for a 40-45ft sailboat to do a circumnavigation! Keep on with the dreams! :)
Congrats on the new property. A perfect sledding hill :) Top of my list as well!
Great video, following dreams
That land looks great! :)
Congratulations 👏
Congratulations on your purchase and hope it provides everything you want and more. If you are looking for a settled in senior (62 yrs old from Bay City) to deer hunt your land yearly and I'll gladly split any harvest with you 50/50. I just enjoy the outdoors but hate being crowded.
We have TONS of deer. But at 9 acres it's still pretty small to be able to safely hunt on. Thanks for the offer!
@@SailingSoulianis Understood, good call. 🙂
May thru October is great to be outside….above freezing and long days. Have spent lots of time about 30-40 miles south of there. Wonderful surroundings and people. Enjoy
Welcome home! I love living in Michigan. Those woods look like prime territory for Morels in the spring! I bought some spores online last year and seeded a friends woods down the road. Had a bumper crop this spring- 18 POUNDS of morels!
Wow!!
No affiliation with them, just a happy customer.
Oh man! I grew up in Boyle City. I still love going home now and then, even though it became touristy.
Is is always good to have a home to come after a long sailing adventure.
Could see your eyes light up on the first visit. Wishing you all the best.
Wonderful piece of property...made me homesick for Charlevoix! We built a place on a beautiful cove on the Bras D'or lake on Cape Breton Island nova scotia, but I still miss CVX. Well done.. Congrats!
Wow 😍 good luck stunning place.
