Janice, How long of an arrangement are you looking for? We have a small 60 acre property on the upper South Umpqua in Oregon called Andraieff Meadows. It was usda region 6s highest priority to purchase under the land and wildlife conservation fund fy2008. It is an extremely biologically diverse property. It is better managed under private ownership though because it is a "sensitive" area. Consequently we are particular about what takes place there. For the last 1&1/2 years we had another couple with 4 children living on the property under a "farming lease type agreement" growing veggies ,herbs and fruit trees on an acre or two . Unfortunately they were not able to fulfill their part of our agreement. So I am currently talking to two other parties about possible arrangements. The property is off grid. I presently have some solar. And a septic. A green house . Three tiny house or rv type residence's. A large fenced garden. Great potential for hydro power also. A sawmill and some some timber. The goal is to be as self sustaining as possible.There is about a mile of river frontage, an island ,two creeks,a large pond,and a great spring.I have been considering different long term arrangements like a trust or foundation to protect the land longer term but not really set on anything yet.my wife and I are 65-70 with a large family that visits on occasion.If this interests you feel free to contact me. Thanks
