Try posting in the community forums, perhaps, and summarize what you said in this introduction; maybe someone in the Carolinas is searching for a scenario similar to your offering. Wishing you well!

How do you do, Mike and other locals? The post has passed its anniversary date, was going to put a puff of fresh air into it and see if there is a Summer get-to-gether in the cards for STL city/county that we can conjure, perhaps? Will keep eyes and ears out…

Sounds like you are hiking your own hike, Danielle, and that is a noble cause.  Wishing that you find your way and connect with like-minded types that can help you to stay free and safe out there while you continue searching.  Take a look in this community sub-forum https://permies.com/f/42/singles if you have yet to.

I was reminded recently that black, by definition, is not a 'color' and white is actually comprised of all colors.  Thus, technically, if you like white you like all colors.  The list of colors should be updated to 'reflect' the above (pun intended).

Lisa, for the time being, Saint Louis City/County.  Looking into what is next.  Society is becoming a bit disappointing.  Perhaps I can take a closer look at what you have going and talk further...

Hey! I just left Charlotte (485 and Brookshire) but only moved out to Oakboro!

Recognize that this is an age-ing thread, but to echo Dee's sentiments above, I left CLT officially at the outset of the Corona-mania, at which point I already had all my 'stuff' in warehouse/storeage.  I was formerly of several areas, of the suburban/urban types, and had my last place just South of downtown off West Blvd.

I was into the eco-conscious thing then and working with biodegradable foodservice disposables and composting and vegetarian/vegan lifestyle and biodiesel.  Side note is towards the end of my N-C days I was going to Oakboro Oil for biodiesel that they brought in from some mid-Western state by train-car.  Went Westward, myself, and have been gone for several years now.  No plans to return although I do have an N-C family that I should visit from time-to-time.

Using this thread as my official 'introduction' to the Permies site; hopefully, Monica, the OP is okay with this!  Even though I was in CLT since the mid-90s, I cannot say that I knew those in the permaculture crowd, though I frequented similar social circles with the work and activism I was doing relating to environmental issues and the like.

I have to put a picture at the end of this message in case someone on the forums wants to see (multiple) pictures featuring myself and various music gear. Totally understand that if you happen to be reading this it may not be your thing or of any interest to you.

Though, if you want to hear any sounds I was involved with - in my past musical lives - feel free to 'sing me' a purple-ish moo and/or bring some of your own sonic tales to this guy's attention.  Sing-ing off...

Interested to check this out. Trying to get out of the city. For sake of safety and sanity. Thank you for the thought to GO-zark!

Amy, thank you for the reply. Will reach-out to you later this week. Would a weekend visit work for you all?

P.S. Happy independence day!

Howdy, Amy. Interested to learn a bit more about the room(s) and timelines. What would be the rental terms to start and for how much would one rent? Would this be a standard rental or would there be a co-op work component as part of staying at the property?
And, looking down the road somewhat - for the entire place - roughly what are the monthly obligatory costs including average operational expenditures and property tax dues?
Sorry to hear that this is going a different direction outside of your original intentions. I am in the STL area so, this may be a feasible option to - what looks like the foreseeable future - remain in this region for some time to come while leaving the urban front. Also, I need to get my permie feet wet, sooner than later. Rather not have to move far in order to start on a new path; and finding a good place is half of the battle.
Feel free to send a ‘private message’ with some details if you so prefer.
Regards, Addison
