Looking for family to share our land

Hello, we are a family living on 10 acres in southern Arizona - 16 miles north of the Mexico border, and about an hours drive south of Tucson.  We have 10 acres which back up to state land which goes all the way to Mt. Wrightson - 9,000 foot mountain.  We are 1/2 mile from the small town of Patagonia, AZ.  There are a few okay restaurants, a great coffee shop, a market that sells essential home/personal items, a small hotel, library, park.....and, most importantly, an organic food store! Our homestead is at 4100 feet, which means cool evenings year round!  We have horses, goats, ducks, chickens, cats and dogs, and will be building a greenhouse next month.  We have a building site ready with septic, water and electricity - solar electric and water - for the right family.  We have a 10 year old who is mostly unschooled.  We are wanting another family with a child or children to live on the land and help us dream it into its potential.  We are very laid back - can be clarified later - enjoy music, gardening, exploring, fires, dancing..... One of us has a day job to pay the mortgage . He is a smart guy.  A scientist.  We like to share meals with friends, and we also value privacy, alone time. We have two grown children who have graduated high school and are trying out various paths for their lives.  They occasionally show up for lengthy visits and help with big projects - like the green house.  That's a little about us.  If interested in sharing land and life with us, let us know who you are!  Thank you.

Beautiful spot!  Hope you find the right family to join you.

Thanks Artie!  It is a very beautiful place - never knew much about Arizona until we moved here a couple of years ago.  

Hello Freya ,

I am your neighbor.. uh almost .. 50 plus miles to your east in Southern Tombstone area.
I have a view across the San Pedro river valley at 4550ft elevation. You are in a nice
location for precipitation. All my Mesquites are stunted at about 4 feet due to soil and
water limitations. I am an Arizona native and wanted to let you know Mt. Wrightson is
the tallest mountain in Southern Az , Mt Lemmon in the Santa Catalinas  is 300ft less
in elevation but has a ski lodge in Tucson. You also have 2 Caves just to your north, one
of them has an underground lake that stays at 75 degrees all year round.

How do you like Santa Cruz County?

I encourage any family that is looking for a property to share consider this area . Close access
to 3 lakes Parker Canyon, Patagonia, and Pena Blanca. Wineries and local markets are a nice
touch. Great hiking in the area also. If you follow the road up around the High School and into
the mountains you just might find a few old apple orchards and old cabins in Mt Wrightsons shadow.

I'm just starting on my new property and its been a handful, clearing and prepping in a Off Grid
area of Cochise county.  If you ever need a extra hand let me know I will try to help out .

Good Luck in your search.

Caves! Well that is worth exploring.  We have a couple of horses that we take into the hills.  They are quarter horses, so we don't go too far.  But perhaps they could travel far enough to find these lakes.  Finding a cool lake sounds heavenly.....though the heat this year has not been as intense.  Are you talking about Onyx Cave?  As for Santa Cruz County, I cannot speak to the county but our town is a good place to be.  Great community. Thanks for your reply, and if you have any tips for finding these caves we would be much obliged! Freya

Hi Freya - Onyx Cave is reached by the Gardner Canyon Road off Highway 83. The turnoff is to the right a little ways past the Apache Springs ranch and the AZ Trail pullout. You might want to ask some locals, but it's pretty easy to find. Cave of the Bells is in the same area but I don't remember how to get there. They're both locked against vandalism now.

Hello Freya, myself, my wife and our 3 kids would be extremely interested in coming there with our truck & fifth wheel trailer to build a life with you guys!!  We've left the complacency of city life in April and gone on the road in search of our soul tribe and a sustainable community.  We are nature lovers, builders, healers and have unschooled our kids for the past 3 years.  We bought a fifth wheel, Ford f-350, generator, dried food storage and gear for life in the mountains.  We spent 2 months in northeastern Washington living like pioneers, and have traveled from there, all the way to Norfolk Virginia, and back Southwest to where we're currently at in St Bernard parish south of New Orleans.  Corresponding with comminutes in the pandemic has been so back and forth because of the fear propaganda that no one has been willing to take us up on our offer of skills, drive, seeds and hard work ethic.  We are literally looking for a nature minded, easy going family or group with kids to put roots down and grow together.  We've got carpentry skills, concrete skills, gardening skills, hunting, fishing and tracking skills, as well as spiritual level energy healing abilities and apocathery knowledge.   Real freedom is when you can earn money for things not including survival and that's the ultimate goal for us.  To be able to go get our food from the garden and fish pond or whatever hunting prospects the area provides.  We've lived without a water heater since April and can cook, wash and bathe by fire.  Laundry by hand, cooking in cast iron, bathing in steel tubs, the whole nine yards.  I hope this message carries a vibration that resonates with you because we're honestly headed to Arizona because we've all but given up on trying to join anywhere.  We're going to get jobs with the contracted work out there, stack cash and buy land and create our own community if we can't join somewhere already going.   We're not religious, more spiritual and have been to nearly every state aside from the north east coast this year and are looking for people who can through the program of fear being used for control.  I'm hoping that this is you because your message speaks to our souls.  
Please contact us directly when you get this by phone or text, as we're leaving louisiana tomorrow and heading that way to Bisbee.
