I Built My Cabin Before I Found the Land.
Hi, I'm Lisa Marais.
In 2023 I felt an urgency to go and live off-grid, and started to look for land in my budget. After viewing some parcels, I instead decided to build my off-grid cabin in my driveway, before I even had land to put it on!
Six months later, I found land to lease and moved my little cabin there. My first night was spent sleeping in my van because the roof wasn't finished :)
By morning, my furniture was still stacked under a tree.
It wasn't the picture-perfect beginning I'd imagined.
But it taught me something important:
You don't necessarily have to own land to begin creating a different life.
That experience inspired Rural Land Access, a place where Land Seekers and Landowners can explore possibilities, prepare responsibly and learn from real experiences.

Behind every land-access arrangement is a human story.
Discover the experiences of land seekers and landowners who have explored different ways to make rural living possible.
