  Have small farm in central Michigan. Would love to sell it outright, but would also share it with the right person/couple. Great view, established garden, perennials, fruit trees, infrastructure for animal husbandry and/or cottage industry. 3.6 semi-secluded acres. High and dry. At the southern edge of the climate safe zone, as stated by climate scientists (do your own research.)
  Small farmhouse in the finishing stages of renovation, large shop/garage, two 40'x60' pole barns, one of which has a dry loft apartment with deck, assorted outbuildings.
  Older caretaker envisions several different possibilities:
  a partner/partners to invest financially -half the value of the property - and share ownership. A younger person would inherit
entire property on current owner's passing (see SKIP and Otis in these forums, also the French custom of viager) and until then, your tax/utility expenses are approximately $3000 per year. We can share the rewards and responsibilities as we continue to make improvements. Into subverting the dominant paradigm. Since owning such a homestead is out of reach for most, this is a great alternative for someone who is independent but who works well with others. Each of us would possess half the property - one half contains the main house and shop/garage, one half has the pole barns and loft; ample garden space on both halves.
  Also open to helper arrangements with energetic, hard-working, self-driven individuals who would take on regular tasks and participate in bigger projects. Labor and monetary contributions and compensations negotiable. These arrangements could be short- term or long-term.
  This property, asking price $170,000, would be ideal for a homesteading family.
The only limit is your imagination. Great set-up for living intergenerationally, or go in on it with friends.
  Open to other creative ideas; if you have a different way to work this that would satisfy all concerned parties, I'd love to hear that too.

(Photos to come; unable to upload at this time.)

Hello, I am interested in your property. My wife and I plus children are interested in finding a property for growing food. Do you have photos and an address?

Thanks,

Sean
