I Bought an Abandoned House on a Remote Island – 6 Months In
Skote Outdoors
View ChannelAbout
We're Matty and Kelly Clarke, living off-grid on a remote island off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada — restoring an abandoned house and building a working homestead from the ground up. It’s just the two of us and our dogs, Ronnie and Bluebell. These videos follow the real, day-to-day work of island life: hauling livestock by boat, building fences and shelters, clearing land by hand, making sea glass jewelry, cooking from scratch, and creating a life in a place that was once a thriving outport community — now quiet for over 50 years. Before the island, Matty spent years living in wild places across Canada — from building log cabins in the Yukon, to primitive survival in the desert, to off-grid living deep in the woods with just a dog and a pack. That chapter laid the groundwork for what we're building now. 📬 Mailing Address: P.O. Box 2026 Marystown, NL A0E 2M0 Canada Instagram: @kellynclarke @mattyclarke

Video Description
Six months ago, I bought an abandoned house on a remote island, far from civilization. No roads, no power, just me, the ocean, and the challenge of turning this forgotten place into a livable home. Over the past half-year, I’ve faced everything from extreme weather to unexpected repairs, all while learning what it takes to survive in isolation. In this video, I’ll share the highs and lows of my journey, the reality of off-grid island life, and what I’ve done to bring this abandoned house back to life. This is just the beginning of an incredible adventure—subscribe to follow along as I continue restoring this hidden gem on the edge of the world! Subscribe for more island living adventures!
