The Forest Ridge Community is located 65 mi SW of Nashville, TN, 7 mi from Hohenwald adjacent to a state forest. The land was bought in 2024. Approx. 6 ac are open and grassy and 14 ac are mixed forest mostly with younger trees. There are no building or logging restrictions here and another 5 ac could be easily cleared in a valley and a slight southern slope. A large Tiny House, a tiny Tiny, well, barn with workshop, storage container, ground shelter and a large Solar System are completed. Individuals can low cost lease to own the parcel they like or whatever we want to agree on. With 5 – 9 – or? people planed we can have more Tiny Houses (custom build by the Amish nearby) or whatever houses we like. More Solar equipment is already on the property. We build raised beds for organic permaculture and a greenhouse, plant more fruit trees. We will have chicken, maybe goats. Forest Ridge is a vegetarian community where no animals get slaughtered on the property other than in an emergency. But individuals can bring meat in for their own consumption. We strive for self sustaining with food and energy as far as reasonable. We have friendly and helpful neighbors about a mile from us, which have springs on their properties. After basic buildings, raised beds, greenhouse are completed I envision building earth dome houses, similar to hobbit houses. Maybe having a zip line to the lower valley, building a tree house and other fun projects. Starting the Cities of the Spheres project ?? We share meals, campfires, singing, story telling, visualization/meditation, circle meetings focusing on positive solutions, invite friends, connect with other communities – all as we like it.
Building a community, tribe of likeminded people, friends in beautiful nature. Adults, children with free will bringing out the best in each other. Experiencing, learning, sharing, building a living community based on sustainability, good communication, benevolent intent, cooperation, balance of political and spiritual awareness, harmony with people, animals and nature.
We connect by phone and/or email and compare our visions.
We plan a personal visit and take it from there…
