In Episode #28 of The Coop, Anna sits down with Larry Littrell … urban homesteader, specialized real estate agent, and author of Fresh Starts Old Roots. They have an important conversation about one of the biggest decisions many homesteaders face: whether to stay, move, buy, or sell.
Larry brings a rare dual perspective. He lives the lifestyle on a third of an acre while helping families find (or sell) properties that actually work for producing food, raising animals, and building a life of greater self-reliance.
He walks through the practical realities that set homestead real estate apart from ordinary home sales … water access, soil, sun exposure, existing infrastructure, zoning, and the often-overlooked covenants that can quietly restrict livestock or gardens.
He also speaks honestly about the emotional side.
Leaving a place you’ve poured years into can feel like abandoning a legacy. Larry offers a different lens: sometimes the next chapter of your legacy is simply passing the work on to someone who will love it. At the same time, he encourages people not to wait for the “perfect” property before beginning. Bloom where you’re planted (build the beds, plant the trees, learn the skills) because those lessons travel with you.
Whether you’re dreaming of your first piece of land, considering a downsize, or wondering if your current quarter-acre is enough, this episode of The Coop delivers clear-eyed advice and quiet permission to make the decision that fits your season of life.
