For land you own, or are about to

What do I build, in what order, and what will it cost?

The Homestead Plan answers that for your land and your goals. Tell it who's living there and what you want to raise, and it sizes every system to match: the solar array that carries you through December, the water your household actually needs, the garden that feeds you, septic, heat, buildings. Then it puts them in build order with real cost ranges.

Eight systems, sized. One build order.

Power

Array kW and battery kWh sized for your property's leanest solar month, not the yearly average

Water

Daily demand, roof catchment, tank size, and whether rain or the well carries this land

Garden & orchard

Growing area for your household and ambition, scaled by the real season and mapped soil

Livestock & pasture

Carrying capacity from rainfall, winter hay, housing, honestly banded

Waste & septic

Design flow and drainfield screening from EPA loading-rate tables on your mapped soil

Heat & firewood

Heating load from your climate's degree days, cords per winter, the woodlot to sustain them

Buildings & access

Dwelling and outbuilding budgets, frost depth, slope, and wildfire siting flags

The build order

What comes first and why, phase by phase, with cost bands that sum to the total

How it works

We read the property (free, about a minute): government data at your exact coordinates.
We read the land itself from public maps: the aerial, tree cover, the ground's rise and fall, streams and ponds, and the county parcel line where a free layer exists.
You answer about a dozen questions, and on the aerial you place the house and check the line. Skip any of it and we show you exactly what we'll assume.
You see the shape of your plan, then unlock the Homestead Plan.

$49 if you already bought the Property Report (our $79 screening report) for this parcel. Nothing is charged until you have answered the intake and seen the shape of your plan. 14-day unconditional refund. Reply to any of our emails and it's done.

The plan is planning guidance with named sources, not engineering or permitting; licensed professionals design and permit the actual systems. Just want the solar answer? The free solar sizer runs on the same data.
