Building Our Dream House: From Vision to Reality

Building Our Dream House: From Vision to Reality

Posted by Nicole Sherwin on

It all started with a dream—a vivid picture of how we wanted to live. Off-grid, completely sustainable, and nestled within nature, our vision included fruit and nut trees, veggie and herb gardens, a grey water system, and solar energy. We imagined being surrounded by incredible trees and wildlife, living a life of simplicity, serenity, and self-sufficiency.

For eight years, we searched tirelessly for the perfect spot that felt right. We weren’t just looking for land; we were searching for a place that offered a calmer, slower lifestyle—one filled with health, beauty, and joy. Every detail of this dream was essential to us, and we believed that focusing on it daily would bring it to life.

Manifesting the Dream: The Power of Focus and the Channel 1 Frequency

They say, "Be careful what you wish for." I rather to say, "Focus on what you wish for, every day." Make it your #obsession. This mantra guided us through our journey, urging us to be specific about every detail and to maintain an energy frequency that would attract exactly what we wanted.

From the layout of the garden to the placement of the solar panels, every aspect of our dream home was visualized down to the smallest detail. We imagined waking up to the sound of birds, harvesting our own food, and living in harmony with the environment. This wasn’t just about building a house; it was about creating a lifestyle that resonated with our values.

The Channel 1 Frequency

To manifest the life of your dreams, tune in to Channel 1—the frequency where magic happens. I like to describe like this: Our minds operate on two primary channels: Channel 2, which is rooted in negativity, lack, and victimhood, and Channel 1, where self-confidence, belief, and responsibility reign supreme. While Channel 2 keeps you stuck in a cycle of unhappiness and envy, Channel 1 empowers you to be the creator of your own reality. By aligning with Channel 1, you honour your path, take charge of your thoughts, words, and actions, and open yourself up to endless possibilities. Manifestation becomes effortless, and your dreams start to take shape in the most magical ways. We choose Channel 1 everyday and are in awe to be watching our lives transform and our dreams become reality.

The Journey: Eight Years of Searching

Eight years may seem like a long time, but for us, it was a journey of learning, patience, and persistence. We visited countless locations, each with its own unique charm, but none felt quite right. The land we sought needed to align with our vision—a place that naturally fostered a slower pace of life and provided the foundation for our off-grid, sustainable dream.

Through this process, we learned to trust our instincts and remain steadfast in our vision. The challenges we faced along the way only strengthened our resolve, teaching us the importance of patience and the power of focused intention.

The Dream Becomes Reality

When we finally found the right spot, it was as if everything clicked into place. The land we chose was everything we had envisioned and more—an oasis of calm, surrounded by nature, and perfectly suited to the sustainable lifestyle we aspired to create.

Maintaining the Channel 1 frequency requires consistent effort and energy, making self-care an essential daily priority. To stay on Channel 1, I focus on holistic practices that nourish my body and mind. This includes being mindful of rest when I'm tired, fueling my body with energy-boosting wholefoods, reducing sugar intake, and incorporating yoga, stretching, and strength training into my routine. I also embrace an evening 'relax and reboot' ritual, indulging in a warm, mineral-rich bath, applying a hydrating face mask, and using rejuvenating skincare products. These daily mindful mini rituals are the key to staying on Channel 1 and manifesting my intentions.




We’re now in the process of bringing our dream home to life, step by step. Removing the old to make way for the new. Kicking down and building up and we are loving the process every step of the way. We’re so excited to be planting our own fruit and nut trees, setting up our veggie and herb gardens, and installing our grey water system and solar panels. Every day, we move closer to living the life we dreamed of—one that’s off-grid, sustainable, and deeply connected to the natural world.


We feel very grateful to be witnessing and being fully present in this wonderful journey.

Dream, Focus, Achieve

Building our dream house wasn’t just about finding the perfect location or constructing a sustainable home. It was about believing in our vision, focusing on it daily, and being specific about what we wanted. This experience has taught us that when you make your dream your obsession, and maintain the energy frequency to attract it, it can—and will—become your reality.

If you’re dreaming of something similar, whether it’s building a sustainable home or pursuing a different passion, remember this: Focus on what you wish for every day. Be specific. Keep the energy that attracts it to you, and watch your dream come to life.
