In House Hunters season 21 episode 8, titled "From Starter Home to Homestead," the show follows a couple as they search for their dream home in the countryside. The couple, who have outgrown their current starter home, want to find a property with enough land for them to raise animals and grow their own food.
The episode begins with the couple meeting their real estate agent, who takes them to view three different properties. The first property is a modest farmhouse on 10 acres of land. While the couple loves the idea of having plenty of space, they worry that the house itself is too small and outdated for their needs. They also note that the property is quite far from town, which could be a problem for them.
The second property is a modern, spacious home on 5 acres of land. This property checks all the boxes for the couple's wishlist, with enough room for them to expand their animal husbandry and gardening projects. However, they are concerned about the home's proximity to a busy road, which could be a safety hazard for their children and pets.
The third property is a sprawling estate on 20 acres of land, complete with a large barn and plenty of pasture space for animals. While the couple is in love with the property and can envision themselves living there for years to come, they worry that the price point may be out of their range.
Throughout the episode, the couple debates the pros and cons of each property, weighing factors such as location, price, and amenities. They also discuss their personal priorities, such as having enough space for their growing family and being able to maintain a sustainable lifestyle on the property.
Ultimately, the couple makes a decision on which property to purchase, but not without some surprises and last-minute challenges along the way. Through it all, House Hunters captures not only the excitement and joy of finding a dream home, but also the difficulties and compromises that come with the process.
