Plot Synopsis

Following the same format as HOUSE HUNTERS, HOUSE HUNTERS OFF THE GRID is a half-hour reality series that profiles potential home buyers who take house hunting to an extreme, as they tour three properties that are way off the beaten path. Each 30-minute episode features a different homebuyer, including: Andrea, Bob and their two small children, who move to Bhutan when Andrea finds a teaching program that will give her a job and help find her family a home; Aaron, Tine and their two children who are moving from Tine's native Copenhagen to Coober Pedy, a remote mining town in the middle of the Australian Outback; Ollie, who moves from Australia to pursue a dogsledding job and a relationship with Ingrid in Svalbard, Norway, which is 700 miles from the North Pole; Matt and Kelly, who are going out on a limb to live deep in the jungles of Costa Rica, where Matt plans to run his online business from a rental in a sustainable tree house community; and Jason and Stefani, who are moving from Berlin to Haida Gwaii, Canada, an archipelago of islands with a total population of around 4,000, and the nearest town with less than three hundred people. On Saturday, June 7, 2014 from 3-5:30p ET/PT, HGTV consecutively aired the first five episodes of the series with a new title: OFF THE GRID LIVING.
