WANTED

Two individuals, couples or families to be "landmates"  to embrace a transformational lifestyle on a developing homestead here in WNC. A place you can create a life for you and your family that inspires you. Grow your own food, preserve it and cook the abundance of edibles the Earth has to offer on the hearth fire.

I have a beautiful piece of land, bordered on all sides by the Pisgah National Forest, near Old Fort, NC, capable of sustaining up to two families with organic produce, livestock and wild edible plants. If we take care of the land, it will take care of us. If you are brave enough to strip away your addictions to the modern world and live a simple, rewarding and wholesome life and help create a paradise that inspires you, this land awaits your passionate contribution. This primitive/homesteading lifestyle is not for the faint of heart.

I am offering a one year lease for $365.00 total for 365 days of your time here and 20hrs of work per week on the homestead clearing, planting and harvesting. This time period would allow us to see if we are a fit for each other. At the end of that time period, I'm offering an optional legal agreement to deed you a piece of land to call your own.
You must provide your own shelter such as a teepee or a yurt. There is no road going to the land. It is a 45 min hike over a mountain to get there from there nearest road. No internet. Cell service is available at higher elevations on the mountain. If you believe that the covid-19 is a hoax, don't apply. If you believe the Earth is flat, don't apply. There are many conspiracy theories and they are not welcome here.
Please draft a letter to tell me about yourself and why you would want to live on the land and we'll go from there.
Send to;

Howdy! I'm gonna send you a PM message soon, I am very interested in talking further. To answer your question: I have high ideals, but am definitely a realist. I've had many adventures and they've toughened me so that reality takes precedence over whimsical and impractical notions. If I'd been "up in the clouds" during some of the experiences in my life, I would've probably died. So yes sir, I am a realist. Your land is in such a beautiful spot. Mount Mitchell is nearby y'all and that's my favorite mountain. The whole Blue Ridge Mountains are such a dear place to me.
Take care,
Cam

Good afternoon, Thomas

Hmm, I'd say I'm a pragmatic idealist.

I mailed you a letter earlier this week (I love hand written letters, so it was nice to find that you're open to communicating in that way) I'm not sure if it has found you safe and well- was just commenting to let you be able to tie it to my account. Hope you are alive and thriving in that forest.

Take care.
