Building a life on bare land in the Colorado mountains isn't just about the view; for Chris and Jenna, it’s about self-reliance. They’re teaching their son, Greystone, to build forts, fix tractors and make his
own goat-milk soap.

By utilizing solar power and wood-heated water, they’ve turned a homesteading dream into a sustainable reality. They’re equipping the next generation with the practical rural skills and independence that can help him stay Closer to What Matters®.

Forget the usual hiking gear — bring the llamas instead!

Chris and Jenna traded urban life for the Colorado mountains, which includes training llamas as backpacking companions. When they aren't trekking with their pack animals, Chris, Jenna and their
son, Greystone, enjoy fly fishing, skiing and exploring their wide-open property. It’s a rugged, adventurous rural lifestyle that keeps the entire family Closer to What Matters®.

Thinking of building a home? We're kicking off a series today to help prepare you for what to expect and how to plan for it.

We're starting with one of our most asked questions on this topic: How much cash do I need?

There are a lot of moving parts to a construction loan. Having some idea of the potential cash required to finance your build will help you know if you’re ready to get started

What’s one small part of rural living that always makes your day better? 🌿

Sometimes it’s the quiet morning coffee, the view of something growing outside, or just stepping out the door onto that porch that brings you so much peace.

It’s often the little things that end up meaning the most out here. 💚

The best investment isn't just in land or a home. It's in the life you build there. 💕

The everyday moments. The traditions. The memories that begin with simply being together.

That's what inspires us every day at Rural 1st®.

Living in the country may mean planning ahead a little more or spending a few extra minutes on the road.
But for so many families, what you gain is worth every mile.

• More stars than streetlights
• More room to roam
• More privacy
• More backyard memories
• More living

Everyone’s version of “worth it” looks different. For us, it’s helping people find the place that feels right.
