Our Homesteading Adventure:

Building a Self-Sufficient Lifestyle… Together

Welcome to Kowalski Mountain! We’re Philip and Barbra-Sue Kowalski. We own 68 acres in Western Kentucky where we are building an off-grid homestead. After seven years of waiting, we have finally made our full-time homesteading dream a reality! In the fall of 2023, Philip and I retired from our jobs, moving over 700 miles from our home in Florida to the homestead at Kowalski Mountain.

During those years of waiting, we built the infrastructure of the homestead. We cultivated our homesteading skills on our urban homestead. Gathering the supplies and tools needed to make this lifestyle as comfortable and productive as possible.

Join us as we continue to build our off-grid homestead and begin the process of building our log home from the timber harvested on the property.

WELCOME to our YouTube channel at Kowalski Mountain!

Philip dreamed of a place where he could build a self-sufficient life.  A little piece of land where he could hunt, work the land, and build a home that he could be proud of. His dream began to become a reality when he purchased the first 40 acres of Kowalski Mountain in 2016.
I met Philip online in 2018. I grew up on a small, hobby farm.  While I loved the outdoor lifestyle, I was stuck in my urban life far from my roots and the lifestyle I loved.
Its hard to deny that Philip and I were meant for each other. We make a great team! We seem to be able to accomplish more than the average couple in record time. Since our Kentucky dream is built in short workcations, our ability to get things done is a huge asset.
This is our journey, the victories, and the challenges.
