Blessings, Christopher! We're creating a wellness sanctuary community on 40 acres in the Ouachita National Forest between Danville and Waldron AR and use those same words "not an escape" but place to deepen connection to self, each other, and nature. We are scientists, turned yogis and learning permaculture as we go. There's currently an open concept house with 3 bedrooms/2 baths built in 2015, greenhouse, garden, orchard, 2 car detached garage/workshop. We are blessed with lots of natural building materials and a saw mill and would love to build retreat housing and for ourselves to open the main house to community and guests. We're 30 minutes to a town but there's lots of natural beauty to explore and rarely any traffic until you get to Little Rock 2 hours away. If this might be of interest to you, please reach out.
