Fifty-five year old man with significant financial resources looking for others to purchase acreage for sustainable community. I am interested in others who would like to live in community and in harmony with the earth as we move from the cheap energy(oil)age into the sustainable energy age. I feel that purchasing land is also a good hedge for an uncertain future. Interested in purchasing arable land in central/western Maryland, Pennsyvania and western New York.

Forming IC near Spokane, WA centered around a healing garden-farm concept. Modern life takes us further and further from nature, creating a variety of negative consequences. As a result, there are many who fall between the cracks of society: people who are marginalized by circumstances, be it health, loss, or disaster. People need to be able to get away to nature and quiet for rejuvenation. Our garden and mountain trails will help residents and visitors improve their physical, emotional and spiritual health. Level parts of the land will use Universal Design for wheelchair and stroller access, with progressively challenging paths going up through the trees and rock formations yielding wonderful nature experiences of views, life forms, and geologic marvels Our 45 acres [south exposure] of granite, trees, wildlife, has many views of nearby forests, lake, and mountains. There are about 6 level acres easily accessible by highway. A public swimming, picnic, and camping area is ½ mile away. ********** To move forward, we need to sell a neighboring house [3 BR/2 BA] for $115k. It is 1½ miles from the main project [described above] and sits on 2.4 level acres. Cathedral ceiling, loft, potential mother-in-law apt. Good sun, trees, quiet. It is partially fenced and borders a large tract of state forest. There is a 24x32 garage/shop, good well [new pump], new 200 amp panel and breakers. Please contact us with suggestions, advice, ideas, or questions: Amber and Bob

Do you need help either getting your community going or growing it to the next level? I am a well-known entrepreneur with many years of experience starting and building successful online companies. Also, I am a single, 50-year old female, living a 100% celibate lifestyle. Additionally, I am a non-smoker, non-drinker and I love, care for and am compassionate about helping others. I am looking for a community that can become my permanent family. I would like to exchange my business marketing and organizational skills for a 1-2 room private cabin, mobile home or other small area and daily home cooked meals. I will pay for my own utilities, high-speed internet connection and maintenance for my 15-year old, declawed cat Zipper whom I love as my only child. I also have a Toyota Rav 4 that I am willing to share with the community that is totally paid for. All my relatives are deceased and I want to find a community that is peaceful and loving. I especially enjoy interacting with young people (30 and under) and teaching them wisdom that I learned from the school of hard knocks.
