The episode starts with the family meeting with the show's host, Jay Gruen, to discuss their aspirations of living off-grid and their vision for their future home. The family talks about their desire to be close to nature and to live a more sustainable and self-sufficient lifestyle.

The first property that Jay shows the family is a large plot of land surrounded by beautiful mountains and rolling hills. The family is impressed by the natural beauty of the area and the privacy that comes with it. Jay points out that the land is completely off-grid and that they will have to figure out a way to generate their own power and water. The family seems undeterred by this and is excited at the prospect of living a more self-sufficient lifestyle.

The second property that Jay shows the family is a more traditional off-grid home that is already built and ready to live in. The family is impressed by the home's features, including its solar power system, water catchment system, and composting toilet. However, they are unsure if the home is big enough for their family and if it has enough land for them to grow their own food and raise animals.

The third property that Jay shows the family is a small cabin in the middle of the woods. The family is excited by the prospect of living in such a secluded and peaceful area. Jay explains that the cabin is completely off-grid and that they will have to hike to get to it. The family seems up for the challenge and enjoys exploring the area around the cabin.

Throughout the episode, the family discusses their options and weighs the pros and cons of each property. They consider factors such as the cost of building their own home versus buying an existing off-grid home, the amount of land they need to grow their own food and raise animals, and how isolated they want to be from society.

In the end, the family makes a decision that will change their lives forever. They decide to build their own off-grid home on the first property that Jay showed them. They are excited at the prospect of designing and building their own home and living a more self-sufficient lifestyle.
