New Home Build

Join us on our journey as we took extraordinary steps and risks to get to the point that we could build our dream country home on acreage in Southern Illinois. We have been working towards this day for about 10 years and have bought and sold many properties trying to find the ‘right one.’ We learned many lessons along the way about owning land and building homes. Between us we have built 3 homes and owned about a dozen properties (each that we thought were the ‘right one.’ Mostly it was bad neighbors that caused us to sell and keep looking).  Click on the images below to watch the videos.

To see videos of the entire process as it unfolded check out our YouTube channel at Kapper Outdoors.
