Hi TJ,  It's beautiful land and an interesting proposal.  I'm interested in learning more about what you have in mind.  I'm an older white male, 64, but in great shape and work hard.  Dave

About me:  63yo, single/divorced, 6'-2" tall, and 220lbs.  Simple (experiential minimalist), strong, fit, active, healthy, happy, optimistic, caring, loving, hard-working man.  I'm not a Vegan, but I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and I eat a lot of fowl, fish and seafood.  I try to limit my red meat and pork consumption, but I do get a craving for pork sausage, bacon and a nice steak once in a while.  ha ha  I like to hike, cycle, camp, fish, hunt, travel, cook and anything else outdoors.  I've worked in construction for the past 40 years, so I'm used to hard work.  I can operate equipment and build just about anything with any type of materials.  I've worked abroad for the past 13 years and recently returned to the US.  I'm not limited by geography and I definitely have not decided on a specific place to put my off-grid plan into action.  If you already have land and you're looking for a partner to develop it and get off the grid, that would be great, too.

My plan:  as of July 1, 2023, I've retired from completely from the work-a-day world and the rat race.  I'm currently looking for land.  After purchasing, I'll build an sustainable small house and barn, start a garden, and raise animals/vegetables/fruit/herbs for food and for barter/sale.  There's a lot of hard work ahead, but relaxing and enjoying life is also important to me.  The satisfaction and the lifestyle result will be worth the effort.  I'd really like to find a partner that's interested in this life and this adventure with me in a monogamous relationship.

If you're a simple, happy, loving, hard-working, committed adventurer and you find my post interesting, I'd like to chat with you and see if we're compatible.  Please DM me.

Hi Danielle,  I'm 63yo single man.  I've just retired from a 40 year successful career in the rat-race.  I'm young in heart and mind, healthy, fit and determined.  I've been researching sustainable lifestyle for several years in preparation for this transition.  I'm looking for a friend and helpmate to get in on the ground floor of this adventure.  It's time to look for land, plan the homestead and construct a tiny sustainable home, a barn for animals and pastures for grazing.  If you're interested, please reply.
Hi Chris, I'm interested in communicating.  my email is daveboyce99@gmail.com.  Dave

About me:  62yo, like the title says.  6'-2" tall and 225lbs.  Strong, fit, active, and healthy.  I'm not a Vegan, but I eat a lot of fruits and veggies, and I eat a lot of fowl, fish and seafood.  And I try to limit my red meat and pork consumption.  I do get a craving for pork sausage, bacon and a nice steak once in a while.  ha ha  I like to hike, cycle, camp, fish, hunt, travel, cook and anything else outdoors.  I've worked in construction for the past almost 40 years, so I'm used to hard work and I can operate equipment and build just about anything with any type of materials.  I've worked abroad for the past 13 years and recently returned to the US.  I'm not limited by geography and I definitely have not decided on a specific place to put my plan into action beyond the next couple of years.

My plan:  I would like to spend the next couple of years flipping houses in Southeast Houston, where I'm currently living and working.  I'd like to buy, fix and resell 4 houses in the next 2 years to generate some extra income and work together with my partner (the adventurous partner that I'm looking for).  After 2 years and 4 houses flipped, I'd like to buy some acreage, build an off-grid house, raise a garden, raise animals, relax but work hard, and enjoy life with my wife and partner.  I'm divorced and have 3 grown children, but if you have children, that's ok.  Will be a great place for them to live and grow up.

If you're an adventurer and find my post interesting, I'd like to chat and see where it goes.  Please DM me.

Hi Richard,
I am very interested in your project.  I am preparing to retire at 61 yo.  I don't care about owning the land, but I would like to have a small plot /building site to build a small sustainable home and keep some animals and a garden.  If you're still looking to form a community, I'd be interested.  Please send me an email at daveboyce99@yahoo.com.

Thanks,

Dave

Hi,
I'm wondering if you're still looking for carpentry help and work/trade.  I'm an experienced carpenter, remodeled an old farm house top to bottom, owned a little horse farm with my ex wife for 25 years, so I have all of the experience you're looking for.   I'm 61 yo, physically fit and healthy.  I am a smoker, although I don't smoke in the house, I'm a light/social considerate smoker and will respect your right to be a non-smoker.  You can contact me at daveboyce99@yahoo.com, if you're still looking for help/trade and my email is of interest to you.

Have a great day!

Thanks for the response to my post.  I'm planning to visit some intentional communities, so I will definitely be in touch.  Do you accept singles, in case I don't find a mate?  I was born and raised in South-Central Ohio, so it would be like coming home.  

Take care,

Dave B.
