Please send me a message with serious inquiries. I posted this in the ‘Rockies’ forum, but it would be much appreciated if an admin can add this to the ‘Land Shares’ and ‘Ecovillage’ forums as well. Thanks!

Hi there!

I'd love to hear more!
My name is Jay.
I have a few thousand bucks and skills to make it work.

What are the details of the plan?

Cheers!

Jay,
The land will very likely be going on the market this spring and unfortunately we do not know what the asking price will be, but we are estimating it will be in the $900k-$1.2m range. We are hoping to get enough of a cash down payment to propose a reasonable offer, with possible owner-carry terms or mortgage financing as well. We have some committed investors and long-term folks and families already, and meetings and barbecues have been in the works to get to know other people and see if a collective vision is born. Are you in the area? (San Juan/Uncompahgre/Telluride/Montrose/Grand Mesa) If so, you could possibly try and make it to one of these get-togethers on the land. There is one scheduled for the last weekend of March.

Amaya,
Your post sounds like wonderful opportunity for similar minded folks. We have been watching Permies for a land share or purchase opportunity. I will be scouting land in the SW in late April, May, and June. Ive had decades of permaculture experience and love it. Doing social permaculture makes a lot of sense. Please share more. What transpired in March? Do you have a update?
