I’ve been to this property! I’ve hiked it’s acres and the land behind it. It’s beautiful! I’m from Arkansas, USA and have visited NZ twice. I know the previous owners of the house and I’m so thrilled to watch as you renovate and make it your own dream home and property! God bless!
Awesome result. I adore the Wairarapa. I lived there for 4 years when I was ten in an amazing homestead and 30 acres of land. As a city girl moving to the country they were some of the happiest years of my life. Now my partner and I live in a beautiful lifestyle property in Mangaroa Valley recreating that beautiful experience. You've chosen the best country in the world to live. After visiting 70 countries I still love my homeland. Yay you do too!
Oh how wonderful, welcome to Aotearoa whanau 🥰 its very important to look after our lands and preserve out beautiful nature. Congratulations 🎉❤ i pray for happiness for many years and many generations to come..im sure more footage will come in future and we look forward to seeing all ur guys progress 🥰
Really exciting news, congratulations guys! We spent just over four very happy yrs, living in Wgtn, before returning to the UK. The land of the long white cloud is a remarkable and precious place and, as I'm sure you already know, is full of warm, welcoming and incredibly friendly people. (The natural food produce is simply outstanding too!)
Congratulations Alex and Carrie! Isn’t wonderful how the Universe works… all we have to do is step aside. So excited for you two and looking forward to watching the journey with you two. Have an awesome weekend!
Buying a house is an emotional roller coaster. We had 2 failed offers before we found our home last summer but we are SO glad now that those offers didnt work out because we love where we ended up. Happy for you & this exciting part of your journey together!
Hindsights a funny thing isnt it, we also failed our 1st house offer we put in (the bank wouldnt finance us because there was so much wrong with the house - me being a Builder I thought nah no worries the more fkd up it is the cheaper the house will be I'll fix it all up) anyway... we ended up in a far better location, better house better everything ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻
My partner and our daughter lived in the house from July-February when we transitioned to NZ from the States in 2016. It has a beautiful soul about the place and is coming to you from our good-hearted friends. It was such a magical place to get to know NZ and for our then one-year-old daughter to settle in. There were lots of long walks to the fairy forest in the back of the valley and to the airport at the top of the hill across the road to enjoy the most glorious sunsets. The native tree by the kids maze in the back yard was planted from a seedling for our daughter during our time there. It holds a special place in our hearts as well, and I wish you the best of luck on your new adventure!
You are living your dream. Finding a place where you can set down roots and enjoy the produce of your garden. Flowers, fruits, vegetables, and chickens.
You and Carrie made the right decision. New Zealand is an excellent country if you prefer fresh, peaceful, and practically without pollution (perhaps only in highly urbanized cities like Wellington and Auckland areas?). You will acquire the land and homestead of your dream. God bless you both.
Congratulations! We found our dream house last year in Germany and did a lot of renovations. We really appreciate that opportunity to create a unique home for our family!! ✨🏡🔨🌱 Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Danke! You know all about the feelings then. Where in Germany?! I loved my travels through Bavaria and southern Germany. My grandfathers family came from Tauberbischoffshein - hope I spelled that right. I think it’s near the Black Forest. I’d love to go one day.
Honestly can't believe I've been following your journey for 8 months now since you decided to move to our beautiful country. Congratulations on finding your new home! Cannot wait to see what excitement more comes your way
Permaculture enthusiast here! There are a few Permaculture week/weekend courses you can take, one of them here in New Plymouth and some others in the South Island too!
I had a sneaky suspicion that you would end up in the wider Wellington area! Its very much your vibe! Congratulations I cant wait to see what amazing things you do with your home and land
Congratulations guys. Check out Charles Dowding No Dig Gardening. This guy is Mr green thumb personified. He's based in the UK which is similar to NZ so just add 6 months to the dates he says. If your after a pizza in the summer then Mt Holdsworth Pizza is the place to go. It's inland from Masterton which isn't too far if the Ruamanga river or Martinborough is the region I suspect your in. You'll love i in the Wairarapa. It's very hot and sunny in the summer which isn't far away now. The daffodils are out and the Tui's have started checking out the Kowhai trees at my place and that for me is the 1st indication that spring is almost here. Arohanui guys
Congratulations you guys. It's so nice to see you can now settle and pursue your dream. I'm sure you have access to lots of information here in New Zealand on how to start your Homesteading life, but I thought I'd mention some of the people on CZcams that I follow in the UK. Charles Dowding is in England and is an expert in no-dig gardening and may give you some ideas of how to get planting veges on your plot from day one. Bealtaine Cottage with Collette O'Neill is in Ireland and a huge supporter of Permaculture and has done amazing things with her piece of land. And finally Liz Zorab - Byther Farm (and her husband) is in Wales and has just taken on a new property after developing their previous one as a "Homestead". Good luck and happy growing.
Congratulations. Really happy to see that you finally find your lovely new home ❤. Looking forward to seeing your garden bloom and grown. I love your Travel videos and I'm excited to hear that you planning to do Guides but I have to admit that I really enjoy your content lately as well so keep going 😊. Stay healthy and much love to you three from Germany
Danke Birgit! We appreciate your support. Lots of new content on the way, I’ll strive for a good balance with the videos but lots of the new vibe coming. 🙏🏼
So excited for you both. Sweet Carrie has the most happy smile and bright eyes. Love watching the excitement in her face. I just love you both. CANT WAIT to see move videos of your new house woohoo.
Congratulations that's amazing. Great to see its all working out. My wife and I live up in the sunny hawkes bay. New zealand is an amazing country and it's soo cool seeing our country on you tube and other platforms. Amazing
You bought this place from our son Dale. You have chosen an amazing place. There are some great neighbors there and beautiful things within walking distance.
Welcome to the Wairarapa! I have worked in the Wairarapa for the last 13 years and it is a gorgeous region with many wonderful people - which now include you both! All the best with the move and the renovations :)
Ah Alex, you said Welcome on back, just like Carrie does, made me smile! I'm so thrilled for you guys, the place looks amazing and I'm looking forward to following along on your big adventure. It's lovely to see you both looking so happy after what I'm sure has been a rollercoaster year so far! Home at last! 🏡
So, so happy for you guys. Congratulations on getting your new Home. Loving it so far and excited for the future projects. This is going to be a fun journey and so glad you guys are sharing it with us. Love you guys. Be safe!😘🤗☀️🇻🇪
I just stumbled upon your videos, as then I saw the Waiohine Valley Bridge and thought that looks familiar!! I also live in the Wairarapa on a 1 hectare block near vineyards and the river. Its the best place to live!!!
I have been following your journey since you left the US for NZ. This video has absolutely made my week!! After all the ups and downs you guys have been through, not letting the negatives get you down, having faith and trusting the process… it has all finally paid off. Congratulations team!!
Congrats on the big move y'all 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 Welcome to our Wellington region 😊🙏🏽 I'd also like to thank you for your amazing videos and how you have shown the beauty of Aotearoa. Can't wait to see your journey unfold. 😁💜
Hi Guy's came across this video we live in the wairarapa and run a small organic vege business on the side on our lifestyle property in Greytown and are about to move to a larger property in Carterton. Looking forward to seeing how you go and if you want to catchup let us know once covid settles of course. Thanks for sharing Rick
Congratulations guys!l! The journey wasn’t easy but I’m happy you’ve found your new place. We’re also doing renovations to our house outside of Wellington and starting our veggie garden next summer. Can’t wait to follow along your journey with you.
Just imagine in the near future - you make your coffee from your kitchen and carry two outside, one for you and one you made for Carrie. You sit in your porch alongside her and you both look into the field and see happy Lanka running around alongside trees fully blooming with fruit and the crops growing 💚 Congrats guys! Cant wait to see the process :)
I am so happy for you guys! We have started saving up for our down payment so we can buy our own homestead! We decided to start looking so we could get motivated! We will be going from a condo with no yard, to hopefully 5-10 acres! We plan on getting horses, goats, alpacas, chickens, and who knows what else! We'll start small, obviously, but we're ready!
Thank you! It’s been you can it here. The playlist is arranged in order. Moving To New Zealand! czcams.com/play/PLmhbBmUiJiZkOy-HRlhiqTMyjGXOxU7xT.html
Excellent choice 👌 ! The love you are showing towards New Zealand is so heart felt , the warmth the passion makes New Zealand special . Thank you ! and welcome to your new home in New Zealand .
Thank you Sovita. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for NZ with my dad’s family coming from here and having roots here since the 1860s but it’s great that Carrie has shown such zeal for the kiwi life too!
@@AlexanderAyling So sorry Carrie ! I love your enthusiasm . Welcome ! To New Zealand . I am looking so fwd to see your garden growing , your renovations . I absolutely love animals . I have chickens , rabbit and 12 cats 3 females and 9 males all neutered and chipped up here in Auckland central . You both have a beautiful spirit . Have fun , see you both online . 👍
Congrats guys!!! 💕💕💕 I’m so happy for you!! I’ve been feeling very down that there’s still no way for me to go see my partner of one year in NZ because of the border situation there. I’ve been feeling very down about it lately cause we haven’t met. But your videos give me hope and make me happier! So thank you! 💕
One of the top permaculture tutors in Aotearoa is Kay Baxter of the Koanga institute. I have followed her for over 30years. An incredible amount of knowledge. Another is Jodi Roebuck. He has had tuition from John Jeavons at the bio intensive gardens in California. He was doing classes I am not sure if he still is. A very knowledgeable man.
Congratulations !!!! Riparian planting could be a fun project that you could try once all of your renovations are complete. It involves planting natives around waterways to improve water quality and encourage wildlife like birds and fish/crustaceans.
@@AlexanderAyling wonderful seeing your journey I,m embarking on the same journey. Riparian planting refers to specific plants that act as filtration . There will be particular wholesalers you can sourse roots trainer size plant for $1.00. Your local regional council can also assist you with that. Communities support in volunteer planting days as well.
So thrilled to see the clips of Waiohine Gorge! Such an awesome place! Welcome neighbors! Bound to see you sometime in our little corner of the world! So happy for you two, fantastic 🤗
Oh coolies! Congrats! on the new move guys! You will be neighbours with James Cameron and hopefully you will get to see some of the amazing Avatar stuff being filmed and made. Have fun and stay safe.
Kia ora alex so happy for yous, finally you guys can start settling down and enjoy your new homestead, so when do you think you'll start travelling the world again I'm missing thoughs kind of videos?
Thank you John!! Well the borders here are closed and we’ve done managed isolation once before. Hopefully the situation gets better and the borders open up. Then we will get out and travel again. In the meantime I’ve got a lot of travel guides in the works!
Yay congrats on buying your home in the Wairarapa!! It is VERY beautiful there in the spring and summer. I recommend planting a whole heap of daffodil bulbs as soon as you move in. Also if you’re coming to visit here in Wellington, try taking the train sometime - it is an incredibly relaxing scenic trip that takes you right into the city, much nicer than driving!
Oh ❤️❤️❤️couldn't be happier for both of yooou!!! I'm from Costa Rica and I've been watching you and Carrie (and your brother too) for a loooong time. This is supeeeeer exciting. I'm so so happy for you guys. Enjoy your time. The little beautiful moments that God, Buda, universe is giving to you!!!!!! ❤️
It's lovely listening to your pronunciation of Te Reo and I am really glad you and your lovely wife have found your one place in the Wairarapa..it is definitely a beautiful region
Cool my home! Welcome to Wairarapa, New Zealand!! I was born in Masterton 😉 Mastertonians are the best and the weather is great...its also a great place to have a family or chicken's 😁
Congrats Beautiful Darling Couple. We're blessed to have you. Like anywhere in the World . . . NZ has its moments good and not so good, but you're here and we're all better for it. Your input in NZ society is Welcomed and your future is exciting. God Bless, Lets Go.
Yay!! So beautiful!!! I am soooo excited for you lovebirds!! As I like to think, the universe really does send us exactly what we need- when we need it. I went through my own house hunting roller coaster, and I’m so glad that the other homes I looked at didn’t work out. I love my home that I live in now, and it is the perfect place for me to be at this moment in my life. And, when I look back, so many other opportunities as well that I wanted to work out so badly, but by not getting them, it opened the door for better things ahead! Cheers to new adventures!! I’m looking forward to learning more about perma culture, home renovations, more travels to come, and all the other neat things you fun folks get yourself into! Way to go! You guys dreamed of your future, and now are living the dream!
Gorgeous and quaint home with room to grow, beautiful acreage with fruit trees, a pond and a stream?! 💯% perfect!!! Can't wait to see more. So happy for the three of you 👩❤️👨🐕
Congratulations Alex & Carrie!! 🎉😍🏡💖 so happy for both of you guys to finally found a place where you could call 'Home'. We will follow both of your journey 🇳🇿🌳
@@AlexanderAylingfunny you should say, he said in an interview recently that we have a crew shortage for the number of current projects here in NZ. He said our unique position due to covid gives us a genuine edge for even more productions. Here's hoping aye!
Also Foley Wines (incidentally listed on the NZ sharemarket) in Martinborough is owned by American Bill Foley who is an owner of the Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey team. Plus yes James Cameron and his wife run an organic farm in the Wairarapa.
Living in Melbourne 11 years, Wellington is my home, fond memories of surf trips to Castlepoint, looking forward to moving back when the time comes and the Wairarapa is definitely on the cards.
I’ve been to this property! I’ve hiked it’s acres and the land behind it. It’s beautiful! I’m from Arkansas, USA and have visited NZ twice. I know the previous owners of the house and I’m so thrilled to watch as you renovate and make it your own dream home and property! God bless!
It's incredible to see that our house went to such a lovely couple with a heart for the homestead lifestyle ❤ All the best!
Couldn't be happier for you both!! This is so so perfect for you ❤️
Thank you Raya!!! We’re so stoked. Hope everything is going well with you and Louis!!! Congrats again on your engagement. 🎊🙌🏼

We love both of the regions and really boiled down to either one of them. Can't wait to get moved in!

Qué país NZ! Viví en ambos países, y me encantan, pero sin duda que NZ tiene algo especial. La naturaleza y su gente! Congrats!
Muchas gracias Juan!! Si hay algo especial aquí sin duda

It’s a lovely spot and we love that Wellington is close
Honestly can't believe I've been following your journey for 8 months now since you decided to move to our beautiful country. Congratulations on finding your new home! Cannot wait to see what excitement more comes your way
Thank you Colette! We’re so happy to be here and we appreciate the support!
Good choice! Love the Wairarapa - owned my first home there too
We’re loving it
Oh my goodness, you have picked the most wonderful area to live! And....you get Poppies! The best wine and winery. Congratulations!!!
congrats can't wait to see all the lovely things that come along with the homestead.
Thank you so much! We’re here now and diving into all the projects. New video next weekend. In the meantime check out the video I published yesterday
I grew up in Wainuiomata and moved to the Wairarapa forty two year's ago.
It must be a nice place to live :)
Permaculture enthusiast here! There are a few Permaculture week/weekend courses you can take, one of them here in New Plymouth and some others in the South Island too!
Thank you Rache! We will definitely be looking into some courses for sure!
I had a sneaky suspicion that you would end up in the wider Wellington area! Its very much your vibe! Congratulations I cant wait to see what amazing things you do with your home and land
Thank you Emma!!! We love it down there :)
Im so happy for you both! You're living the life i hope to have one day. ❤
We hope that you both fall in love with New Zealand.
Most people would love to envy you, in your position enjoy from us all.
I am so thrilled for you! What a great property and fun plans! Thanks for sharing it.
Thank you Janelle 🙏🏼
Congratulations guys. Check out Charles Dowding No Dig Gardening. This guy is Mr green thumb personified. He's based in the UK which is similar to NZ so just add 6 months to the dates he says. If your after a pizza in the summer then Mt Holdsworth Pizza is the place to go. It's inland from Masterton which isn't too far if the Ruamanga river or Martinborough is the region I suspect your in. You'll love i in the Wairarapa. It's very hot and sunny in the summer which isn't far away now. The daffodils are out and the Tui's have started checking out the Kowhai trees at my place and that for me is the 1st indication that spring is almost here. Arohanui guys
Thank you for the tips. We will have to grab a pizza there for sure! Spring is coming! Arohanui 🙏🏼

Cheers Rik! We love the Hawke’s Bay! That’s where my old man is from. :)
Great news! It's a great region, so your intuition was right....I guess we all should pay attention to the 'signs'
You bought this place from our son Dale. You have chosen an amazing place. There are some great neighbors there and beautiful things within walking distance.
Welcome to the Wairarapa! I have worked in the Wairarapa for the last 13 years and it is a gorgeous region with many wonderful people - which now include you both! All the best with the move and the renovations :)

Awesome I'm in the South Wairarapa. I love permaculture and Regen Ag

Amazing and congrats on your home too!! Thanks for following along! Happy planting :)
So exciting! Wishing you much love and success at your new home!
I searched videos about homesteading, just for fun. This is the first one I found. I live in Carterton - pretty close to you!
Just imagine in the near future - you make your coffee from your kitchen and carry two outside, one for you and one you made for Carrie. You sit in your porch alongside her and you both look into the field and see happy Lanka running around alongside trees fully blooming with fruit and the crops growing 💚
Congrats guys! Cant wait to see the process :)
We can’t wait!! Also we’re so happy to be able to share it with you all 🙏🏼
My dream country is New Zealand .New Zealand is like a paradise .People are also so gentle and polite. From BD.
I am so happy for you guys! We have started saving up for our down payment so we can buy our own homestead! We decided to start looking so we could get motivated! We will be going from a condo with no yard, to hopefully 5-10 acres! We plan on getting horses, goats, alpacas, chickens, and who knows what else! We'll start small, obviously, but we're ready!
That’s the move! Start looking, keep saving, perhaps invest a small portion and keep working towards the dream 🙌🏼
Congratulations both of you Lots of love from Queenstown
Thank you Dheeraj
Good luck! We'd love to move to NZ too. Can't wait to watch your adventure!
Thank you! It’s been you can it here. The playlist is arranged in order.

I just saw an ad with Carrie for Amazon… and was like I KNOW HER FROM SOMEWHERE
My mum was raised there. It's a very special place ❤
Isn’t it lovely? :)
Ka pai, to own a home is a beautiful thing. Enjoy living on the whenua x
Thank you Shaney. We are so grateful and will protect and regenerate the whenua
So thrilled to see the clips of Waiohine Gorge! Such an awesome place! Welcome neighbors! Bound to see you sometime in our little corner of the world! So happy for you two, fantastic 🤗

Welcome to the valley. Great growing but watch the frosts.
Oh coolies! Congrats! on the new move guys! You will be neighbours with James Cameron and hopefully you will get to see some of the amazing Avatar stuff being filmed and made. Have fun and stay safe.
Thanks Fia!
Kia ora alex so happy for yous, finally you guys can start settling down and enjoy your new homestead, so when do you think you'll start travelling the world again I'm missing thoughs kind of videos?
Thank you John!! Well the borders here are closed and we’ve done managed isolation once before. Hopefully the situation gets better and the borders open up. Then we will get out and travel again. In the meantime I’ve got a lot of travel guides in the works!
Congratulations! Great place to call home :)
Thank you! We’re so happy and excited 🙏🏼
Yay congrats on buying your home in the Wairarapa!! It is VERY beautiful there in the spring and summer. I recommend planting a whole heap of daffodil bulbs as soon as you move in. Also if you’re coming to visit here in Wellington, try taking the train sometime - it is an incredibly relaxing scenic trip that takes you right into the city, much nicer than driving!
Nice choice that's where many of us Wellingtonians live and go over the hill for work. Awesome! Welcome
We love how close it is to Wellington!
Welcome to the wonderful Wairarapa
Thank you John!
Congratulations guys.
Thank you Ana 🙏🏼
Part of me is sad watching these videos. New Zealand was such an unknown treasure now you are showing the entire world. It is such an exquisite place.
Nice. congrats. we moved into the Wairarapa last year. We live about 15 mins towards Masterton. Welcome.
Congratulations!! I am so happy for you and looking forward to future vlogs!
Thank you Cindy! We’re so excited to share this journey!
So happy for you guys! Can't wait to follow along your journey with you and all the adventures you have ahead!

Cool my home! Welcome to Wairarapa, New Zealand!!
I was born in Masterton 😉
Mastertonians are the best and the weather is great...its also a great place to have a family or chicken's 😁
Thanks Bronzy! We’re stoked to be in the Wairarapa
Congrats Beautiful Darling Couple. We're blessed to have you. Like anywhere in the World . . . NZ has its moments good and not so good, but you're here and we're all better for it. Your input in NZ society is Welcomed and your future is exciting. God Bless, Lets Go.
Thank you so much Afu. We are very grateful to be here 🙏🏼✌🏼
Yay!! So beautiful!!! I am soooo excited for you lovebirds!! As I like to think, the universe really does send us exactly what we need- when we need it. I went through my own house hunting roller coaster, and I’m so glad that the other homes I looked at didn’t work out. I love my home that I live in now, and it is the perfect place for me to be at this moment in my life. And, when I look back, so many other opportunities as well that I wanted to work out so badly, but by not getting them, it opened the door for better things ahead! Cheers to new adventures!! I’m looking forward to learning more about perma culture, home renovations, more travels to come, and all the other neat things you fun folks get yourself into! Way to go! You guys dreamed of your future, and now are living the dream!
Thank you so much! You’re so right about being sent what we need. Sending good vibes your way 🙏🏼
Gorgeous and quaint home with room to grow, beautiful acreage with fruit trees, a pond and a stream?! 💯% perfect!!! Can't wait to see more. So happy for the three of you 👩❤️👨🐕
Thank you! We can’t wait to get moved in!
@@AlexanderAyling No doubt about that! And finally open all your goodies in storage, almost like reliving Christmas.
Congratulations Alex & Carrie!! 🎉😍🏡💖
so happy for both of you guys to finally found a place where you could call 'Home'.
We will follow both of your journey 🇳🇿🌳
Thank you Nikki!! Really appreciate your support!
James Cameron is in your neighborhood. Dude grows organic also. Nice one guys. Welcome.
Thank you Mike! Wonder if he’s hiring lol?
@@AlexanderAylingfunny you should say, he said in an interview recently that we have a crew shortage for the number of current projects here in NZ. He said our unique position due to covid gives us a genuine edge for even more productions. Here's hoping aye!
Also Foley Wines (incidentally listed on the NZ sharemarket) in Martinborough is owned by American Bill Foley who is an owner of the Las Vegas Golden Knights hockey team. Plus yes James Cameron and his wife run an organic farm in the Wairarapa.
That’s awesome news. Congrats to you both!!
Thank you Jose!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Living in Melbourne 11 years, Wellington is my home, fond memories of surf trips to Castlepoint, looking forward to moving back when the time comes and the Wairarapa is definitely on the cards.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
