I have also had this idea stewing in the back of my mind for a few years.
Finally found a place and got my offer accepted on 80 acres in the Ozarks. Would love to connect with others on what is working for them as I have been working out some ambitious plans for novel architectural endeavors. I come from a family of construction, architects, and interior designers. My grandparents had 100 acre gardens cultivated for city weddings and events. This is such a joy for me to build upon collective experiences growing up but with an entirely different perspective on ideas like 'natural' and 'sustainable'. For me, the great test of simple living is cultivating dwellings that not only are earth friendly, but that are enduring with minimal input and upkeep. This means designs slated which will never need roof replacements or updates to electric systems as technology changes.
As for my vision, I want to create a sanctuary for creatives and crafters with long-term rentals. I would love to partner with others who like to get their hands dirty to build this out as we all will get to explore new building materials templated for the site.
