A choice piece of undeveloped land in the hold has just become available. You will receive a letter from a steward, such as: Letter from the Steward of Falkreath Dragonborn, As a mark of the high esteem in which you are held by Jarl Dengeir of Stuhn, he has instructed me to offer you an opportunity to become a landowner in Falkreath. However, if you have not already gained the Jarl's favor, you will only receive the courier letter once you are level 9 or above. NOTE: You do NOT need Dawnguard installed to start Hearthfire, nor is there a minimum level requirement.
You can only buy a plot of land in Falkreath, The Pale, or Hjaalmarch. NOTE: If you do not get the letter from the courier, just go speak with the Jarl's steward directly. He tells you he has been looking for you and has something he is supposed to deliver - your hands only. Sometimes it takes a few minutes, but eventually a courier shows up. After you have bought and installed Hearthfire, walk around in one of the towns (such as Whiterun).
