Thinking about moving to Alaska to start a homestead? In this episode of the Alaskan Journey Podcast, host Jamin sits down with Richard and Texana from the Rowdy Homestead Ranch YouTube channel.After homesteading for years in Texas—raising livestock, growing their own food source, and dealing with extreme summer heat and water supply issues—they made the big move to Alaska. They dive deep into the real-world considerations of homesteading in Alaska versus the Lower 48, including choosing the right region (Mat-Su Valley, Willow, Big Lake, Palmer, vs. Glenn Allen), checking groundwater for toxic levels of arsenic and manganese, finding land without state income tax, raising livestock like Highland cattle in sub-zero winters, navigating off-road land traps, and avoiding costly real estate mistakes.Rowdy Homestead Ranch: https://www.youtube.com/@UC3Ar3aWwp4CZGkiOt9gLv9w Jamin Goecker Website (For Relocation Guide): https://jgoecker.kw.comPodcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2AgBLvg...LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamingoecker/Instagram: / jamin_goecker App: https://jgoecker.kw.comFacebook: / gojaminrealestate Keller Williams Realty Alaska Group
