Oh to be young and healthy enough again to have plans like that. Don't let go of them. You have come a long way my friend.
Best advice I got when building my homestead was to put a slight dog leg in my driveway. I can see 90% of it and have plenty of notice, but no one can look down my driveway and see my house from the road.
I was going to say the exact same thing. A slightly more circuitous route is also much more interesting for your guests as they get to experience different views of the property as they make their way to your house. Doesn’t need to be a big detour. But even a few gentle curves makes a huge difference.
We have decided to do the same. Driveway was started today. New update soon.
@@JayBates Have fun with it. I am 13 years in and still "finishing up" :)
I would put a curve in the driveway near the road. That way the house and shop can't be seen from the road.
One of my Uncles had 300+ acres of wooded land, and they way he harvested his trees for sale was to harvest 20% every five years. This allowed him to have a steady source of income. In his cycle, the second and fourth 20% harvest, he would keep to mill himself, and sell. He had a small area on the side of the road where he would put all the off-cuts and sawdust from milling, along with a sign that read free firewood and sawdust/mulch, and it would disappear very quickly. Wishing you and your family a lifelong of happiness and prosperity on your new homestead. I am curious about the little notch on the northern border of the property. Before you build your new shop and/or home, remember to bring in several truckloads of hard-pack soil to raise the buildings as high as permits will allow, to protect your investments from any potential flooding. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
Drones are fun on big pieces of property. You can scout/patrol very quickly and easily over a large area.
I was thinking tiny stream, but that clip at the end is a raging torrent of a river!! wow. I can understand your excitement!
I'm sure your considering this; build your shop or a detached garage before any other building. It doesn't need to be finished, just a rough building with a lockable garage door. I and few friends have done it this way, you and contractors will love it.
Thank you for sharing your plans and also your process. Love the laminated map, the journal, and the future layout. Also appreciate seeing how to think about maintaining and securing the property (perimeter paths, line of sight, etc.). Fantastic vid!
As a fellow acreage owner be prepared to put up LOTS of fences and locking gates to keep people off of your property. No trespassing signs are totally ignored. Its incredible the amount of people who think that " private property " is just a vague concept !
Can't wait to see what you do with the place! Congrats
Congratulations. Can't wait to follow along on your new journey.
Thanks for sharing your journey.
Exciting. Congrats, Jay!
I can see how excited you are in this video! I’m very happy for you and wish you the best!
When you do what you love for a living you'll never work a day in your life. It put's that smile on your face! I was a music man all my life and my second love was wood. I got to do both all my life. I count my life as one of the lucky one's. Played in little bands to begin with, eventually went solo and built my own recording/video studio. Finally "retired" to the mts of NC with a smaller version of my studio by my house where I still create music vids for my youtube channel. I also now have time to play with my model trains lol! Had an ebay store, PaPaTrains for a while and it is now a free standing internet site. I built my own studios, largely by myself and enjoyed every drop of sweat lol! I said all that to say this, I'm so happy for you because I know the joy. At my age now (79), most of my mountains have been climbed so I live vicariously thru youtubers like you. I'm going to enjoy this climb with you!! Your property looks great. ❤❤
Glad to have you here. Congrats to the life you've created. Just subscribed to your channel. Keep em coming!
@@JayBates ❤❤
So very happy for you and your family. I like how you have a plan in place. Absolutely awesome Jay!
Thank you for bringing us along for this, Jay. Tons of work ahead, and more work on top of that, but I hear the smile in your voice and that's a great sign for you and yours. Get a drone and save custom flight paths to help you document your property for posterity. Also great to see how your acreage will change through the seasons.
Good luck! Stay healthy and safe. And git er done!
Sounds awesome, looking forward to join you on your journey. It is so invigorating to have a goal in front of your mental eye, it keeps drawing you towards it and it is allmost like you can touch it. Good luck and be safe.
Great planning. Thanks for sharing and taking us along on your journey. I am very much looking forward to watching the trip.
Congratulations on the land and plans!
I am so envious! God bless you and your family as you continue in this greatest of all earthly endeavors!
Dude I'm so excited for you guys! This is awesome!!!
Gorgeous area. Looking forward to living vicariously through you as you progress on this journey!
That is sooo exciting!!! Congrats! On a selfish note i am excited for all the awesome RUclips content that is going to come out of this. Congrats
Great plan, look Forward to seeing your progress
So excited for you and your family, Jay! I am now on the other side of these years that are before you and wishing you joy and blessings for your future
What a beautiful journey! Thank you for sharing this and all your skills. God bless you and your family. Stay strong.
You look so happy! I'm happy for you. Your certainly have a big job ahead of you..... have fun on the journey.
Your enthusiasm and that smile are really infectious. Go for it, change what needs changing on the way. Great video.
Very cool can’t wait to see it come to life. So Happy for you and your family 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Best of luck to you Jay, keep focused and move forward....Len
I will look forward to each of the vids in this series with enthusiasm. I really like that you are planning the camping area to include family so they too can enjoy the area. There is nothing better than the time spent with family
I love seeing your excitement about this property. Love following along.
Sorry happy for your new property!!!!! Looking forward to see what you will accomplish there
Wonderful update Jay. Thanks for bringing us along.
Regards,
R
Jay, BRING IT! Your excitement is totally contagious! Really looking forward to watching your families journey and inspirations! Adventures of the family Bates! Awesome!
Can't wait to see what you do with this!!!
Looking forward to watching the progression
So exciting... I look forward to seeing how everything gets developed and how you go about it.
Really excited to see how this goes. Been following you for years since you were in a garage showing us your Red Wings logo drawer pulls :) I have loved watching your journey. Congrats, brother. Cheers to the bright future.
Freaking awesome man!!
Wow! You Are having so much fun! What a legacy!
Hi Jay, I excited for you and can't wait to join you on your journey. Very cool!! Totally agree to writing it down and committing to it. Lists are great too for seeing/feeling the accomplishments of checking the box. Good Luck!!
So exciting, Jay I'm along for the ride!
Congratulations Jay, I've been following you for years from the small 1 car garage workshop, great to see all the changes over the years. Can't wait to see all the progress with this new property. Delighted for you and the family. Following from New Zealand 🇳🇿
You can see the excitement on your face! Can’t wait to see more
Just from the map the property looks amazing, I cant wait to see your progress! Congratulations ❤
May the Lord bless you with good health for this exciting journey. So happy for you Jay
Congrats on the land -purchase and the beginning of your estate. The best is yet to come.
Great Plans. I hope they all work out. ☺
You're right, this is going to be so much fun...can't wait to see more :)
It is great how excited you are. I remember that feeling, and I only bought 5 acres. Don't forget to come back to this video when stuff hits the fan (and it will at some point). It will remind you of the excitement.
Of all the years I’ve followed you and all the things we’ve watched you build, this will be the greatest by far. I would go farther in saying this will probably be the greatest series on RUclips just knowing you and your style. To say that I’m jealous would be an understatement, but equally as excited to watch this journey!
Thanks for sharing.
Love it. It is going to be amazing!
Jay I am so happy for you to purchase your property. I am looking forward to seeing how you develop your property. Love your lifestyle and your business. Keep up the good life.
Thank you for sharing your dreams.
Hi Jay, you are living the dream mate. I'll be following on with you on your awesome adventour. Good luck from kmdc in Oz.
Looks like a great time. Enjoy every minute. And hopefully, as one see's issues where we live, those who have ridden the property before respect your new ownership. Really good protected gates - and probably as important - well hidden recording trailcams at those exit/entrance points.
Nice plans.
the creek surrounded by trees is by far my favourite part, looks amazing.
Congratulations! Can't wait to see how this develops. You talked about the flora ... what about fauna? Will you be sharing that land with any wild animals regularly? Best of luck to you and your family. Keep us updated.
We will monitor the established deer and turkey population and plan on (long term) having some cattle. Maybe goats or pigs when we get going to help with cleanup.
Garden location will be important, as well as an orchard, and vineyard. Maybe some honey bees and a small honey house for extraction and bottling. I did the same thing, changed a few things too, but it’s been an awesome 20 year journey.
¡¡wooow!! There´s alot work to do. 💪😀 congratulations man.
"No plan survives first contact with the enemy" don't remember who said it but sounds like it will hold true for this project as well. 8-)
Just a thought (and may not be practical) but string a rope across the creek low enough for someone to grab if they fall in. 'Course that may just be me being an overprotective dad....
Nice chunk of land. Oh the things to do that makes it fun just in itself. I just bought 4 acres and am looking at private property signage and thoughts on this.
So cool
Couldn’t Agree More About Having A Small Note Book With You All The Time 👍
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻we just got a Cook mp32 mill, love it and great people
Jay, pumped for your new venture. You've probably come across his channel already, but, in case not, John at Farmcraft101 is going to be a great resource for you.
Better make sure you have a good boundary between your property and the timber holding.
Mikey likes it. Always good to have a path along the border of your property to survey it as needed. And in high fire areas a firebreak road is also very nice to have. FYI if you end up building building next to that pond... If it's big enough you can use it for cooling and heating VIA a ground source heat pump. Very affordable to run and just drop coils in the water if it's big enough.
We also have lumber ready to be cut on our property in MS but with lumber prices where they are it's not great timing but for me it is good timing as if I wait the next cutting won't likely be in my lifetime. It's in the middle of nowhere 2hrs or so north of Jackson. I wish it was south of Jackson but it's been in the family for a very long time.
Yeah, I'm told the timber market is down quite a bit right now. We're not selling anything up front. I'll likely get a mill and offer some for sale here and there.
@@JayBates I don't see lumber going up dramatically any time soon but OSB and ply have gone up quite a bit in the last few weeks. OSB has gone up over $10/sheet.
Our property had allot of pulp wood in the past. Not a clue what is there now. I haven't been there in decades... I am trying to get out there with my mother before it gets hot as she knows more about it than I do. We are further south than you but if we make a trip out I'll see if I can shoot you a message and let you know.
I'll start out the comments because I just started your video. Absolutely awesome advice. Thank you! You're right of course (unless you're planning to rob a bank......then don't write it down.....)
hahaha. Yeah, don't write that down. haha
Your joy is palpable. Your smile is contagious. I’m going to be writing down some of my intentions today. At 70 yrs, I’ve got lots of projects ahead of me. I’m looking so forward to your journey.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. As a wetland scientist, I cringe at 6:00. You may want to look into whether these are protected in your state before you drain them.
This sounds like a lot of fun. Work, yes, but you essentially have a giant blank slate to play with. I don't know how the elevation is in Mississippi but I'd be cutting some wooded single-track for mounting biking!
As a farmer, my preference is perimeter fencing on the property line and temporary moveable fencing on the interior, so that if plans change the fence doesn't have to.
Looks great Jay. Only suggestion I would have is if the eastern land adjacent to yours is not a conservation/no development property or if it's not owned by another family member, I would highly recommend moving your house/ shop/barn further west on your property and away from your eastern boundry. All neighbors unfortunately are not desirable/or great people and with the layout you have now it could leave a possibility of a rude/entitled nieghbor causing major headaches. Not being negative here just speaking from past experiences.
We have since decided to go west with the shop and house pad.
101 acre woods, are you turning into Winnie the pooh or Christopher Robin lol
yay !
Awesome to hear about these plans. Are you also planning protection for when flooding happens? So flooding will have less effect on the business side of things. I have to say that after hearing what happened with Demolition Ranch, Matt, I hope your viewers will be more respectful of your personal privacy and not show up, without being invited.
Flooding won't happen on this property. From speaking with locals, if the creek is at its highest, it will get close to the main land elevation. Anything higher will eclipse local bridges, which hasn't happened. This creek flows into a larger lake about 40 miles away.
You should consider having Cremona come down and doing a Sawmill build!
More to it than simply considering someone else to travel cross country and work for me ;)
So excited for you and your family! What mind mapper app is that?
XMind. Free version.
@@JayBates Thank you!
The best fertilizer is the Farmers Foot! We have 73 acres, our house was at the very front of the property and very seldom saw any more of the farm. We decided in 2006 to move our house to the center so everyday we see most of the property now. Also put in a RV sewer dump and at least one 50amp RV plug for relatives/friends to be able to bring their RV to park and visit. Enjoy the ride, we have been on our farm for 29 years and the plan is to die here.
Curious about that weird little rectangle. What is it? Exciting and happy for you, Jay.
Someone else's property
AND. I hope Tyler can swim... It's something most Ozzie kids learn while they can crawl. That Creek, looks very enticing for such a young Go Getter. 🐟

Love it.
Lucky you
Can i come visit when you have your a-frame tent thingys up and done? Greetings from Norway.
Keep the pond. Build a bat house near it to keep the mosquitos in check.
Plus stocking some fish that will munch on mosquitoes!
@@TheRPhelps24 Gotta keep the oxygen levels up though.
@@chaseweeks2708 I was thinking that when I posted it. Algae blooms will suck it up. I've seen some neighborhoods use fountains specifically for this reason of stirring up oxygen in the water.
looks like you are gonna need more tractor than my 1025R that works for my 5 acres.. and I forsee a bit of a permanent shift in the videos to land maintenance just so you can keep a decent upload schedule cuz land will eat your time.. but I look forward to seeing your solutions to things
My wife and I want to move to the country one day. Jealous. Good luck!
Will you be adding cattle grid where the trails come into your property?
We will be fencing it off. No gate.
Well met fellow mind-map traveller
I love your plans. I wish you the best. And like a Muslim our prophet have said : God is like the thought of the human. Like you say and think to going to be this will happen to you. I see in your eyes so much exited and wish i hope what is the best for you to happen ❤
Any chance of taking that area by the creek and making it dual use? Set it up as a small 4-5 site rental sites for short term RV sites on the N end, and using the mid/south end for family only? Make a bit of income off of it? Not sure if the juice is worth the squeeze there, but it's a thought.
It's in the cards. A lot of questions need to be answered first. In time.
Lots of plans.
So is it a dry creek? I fortunately own land much smaller but similar on a “river” though it’s name center creek. It never goes dry or dams up anywhere. Floatable all but couple months without getting out. But it is much wider than yours when it’s not flooded. Just curious. Maybe I will wait for your walk through. So happy for you and your family. So much fun to live out in the nature.
The creek has flooded all the way to the main land elevation and has been dry enough to walk without getting wet. It flows 40 miles into a large lake. I haven't confirmed, but I was told the water flow is regulated far down stream to prevent flooding. So the water level depends on how much rain we get as well as how much water they let through far downstream.
@@JayBates I wasn’t thinking of where you live. Yeah, much more of the land down there is more on the flat side. I come from the hills of Mo. Not that we don’t have low lands up here. Just not mine. Beautiful walk through btw.
Gonna hide a Double Dare Obstacle Course somewhere in the 101 Acre Wood?
GREAT idea :)
Might there be a lumber mill in the near future?
Yes!
