A good friend (David Salmon) and fellow founding member of the Wild Rivers
Permaculture Guild is putting his beautiful property up for sale. His realtor is also a friend. Of course, being friends, I think they are both very good people. This is a very cool property built with
permaculture ethics at the forefront. It’s location is one of the most verdant areas on Earth. It is less than 15min to dozens of amazing spots on the Pacific Coast, Smith River, and old growth redwoods. We have a growing community of thriving permies here as well. For more info, check out the listing link below. I am not receiving any compensation for this, just trying to help a friend, and this community by finding a
permie buyer.
