Hearthfire - Where and How to Buy Property
![]() |
|
Well, it's September 4th and Heathfire is out on the 360! Since the game launched, the site has been hammered with search queries of people searching for information on how they can buy and acquire their own land and property.
You are able to buy property in the holds of Hjaalmarch, Falkreath, and The Pale. As you can imagine, this means there are three plots of land that you are able to purchase in Hearthfire.
If you are a thane in any of the previously mentioned holds, you just need to visit the Jarl and/or Steward to purchase the land. Otherwise, a courier will deliver a letter from the Holds' Jarl asking you to visit. You do not need to be a Thane to purchase land, although you may have to do a radiant quest.
Now that you know how you can purchase land, lets take a look at what each plot includes and specific purchasing details.
Selling NPCs: Jarl Skald
NPC Location: Dawnstar's White Hall.
Notes: Your new home will by named Heljarchen Hall (located south of Fort Dunstad). You will also receive a housecarl named Gregor.
Price: 5,000 Gold
Selling NPCs: Nenya or Tekla
NPC Location: Jarl’s Longhouse in Falkreath
Notes: The Falkreath residence is named Lakeview Manor and is located East of the city. Don't worry, lake front property doesn't cost you anything extra; it still goes for...
Price: 5,000 Gold
Selling NPCs: Aslfur or Sorli the Builder
NPC Location: Morthal
Notes: Talk to the steward about purchasing a home. He'll say none are available, and instead offer to sell you land. Your estate will be named Windstad Manor, and be located near the Abandoned Shack.
Price: 5,000 Gold
Well, that's about it! Leave your thoughts and Hearthfire experiences in the comments below!

Here's the Dawnstar land location where you can build a house after you purchase the land from the Jarl - www.virtualsecrets.com/misc_imgs/skyim-hearthfire-dawnstar-land-house-location.jpg
Here's the pic of it -
Hey there. I've found it really easy to get the piece of land from the Jarl of Falkreath, but I'm battling to get the others, and can't even seem to get the Vanilla houses in Skyrim. Is it level specific or somehow attached to the quests you do in the different regions of Skyrim?
Level 45 Nord.
Skyrim PC version: 1.9.2 patch, Hearthfires, Dawngaurd, Dragonborne loaded. And a few mods through NMM (Although nothing which adds homes and nonsense like that)
PharCyde, you have to assist the Jarl of the hold you want to purchase land from (by doing one of their quests), speak to the jarl, and buy the house. If you want to purchase one of the building sites, you just have to ask to buy a house, and then they'll say they have property, but no house, and there you go.
