Looking for Property

I am a looking for land to buy. I have several ideas on what I want

Option 1: 10-50 acres with a water source. A well or a stream, maybe a river. No house or abandoned house preferred. Mostly flat, rolling is good too.

Option 2: a farm or homestead that is already built up and the owners want to retire and are looking for someone to take over. A iron clad contract will be drawn up with a lawyer stating that the previous owners have free lodging on a small house on the property as long as they live.  

Option 3: A small abandoned or dead town in a rural area.

Option 4: A school building that is no longer in use in a rural area. Preferably a brick building.

All options:
- Eastern to Northern half of the United States.
- $1-5,000 an Acre.
- Not to close to a major city.
- Not to close to a major Interstate.

Disclaimer: I am not a developer and I have no intention of subdividing or splitting up the land in any way.

Hi G Bowes, we are currently seeking new leadership & land transition at a 501c3 nonprofit farm, which includes the sale of 11.35 acres of land in NY State, including a 1-acre multi-story “food forest” that is one-of-a-kind in our region. The food forest currently features over 160 varieties of perennial, cold-hardy crops, including over 350 fruit and nut trees; over 480 berry-producing shrubs; ⅓ of an acre of culinary and medicinal herbs; and over 4,600 square feet of bed space for annual vegetables. We have been operating a 501c3 nonprofit on the land for 10 years, and we are looking for a new group to buy the land and take over management of the nonprofit.

We are open to creative models that ensure continuation of the non-profit’s operations, whether the land transfers to new private ownership, the non-profit itself purchases the land, another non-profit entity purchases the land, a land trust purchases the land, an agrarian commons is created, etc. You can see more info at the thread above, and also here is our land listing: https://nyfarmlandfinder.org/find-a-farm/property/unadilla-community-farm

You still looking? Our small land trust on a ridge in V has two empty leaserhold. Flat or rolling it ain't, but there is an acre or so of cultivable land on the ridge, wells, a livable house, 16 solar panels; you cannot own the land but after 6 months trial period if accepted and you want to stay,get a lifetime lease. For the improvements on the two, pay previous lessee $10,00 for one (a steal) or $9000 for the other (hat it's worth)

Mary Cook, this is in Vermont? I'd be interested in learning more.

No, West Virginia. I see I quite failed to proofread that post.

Aloha! Still looking? Here is an incredible property in Maui Hawaii that I used to farm back in the 1980's that I no longer live on and has been passed down to my children. Neither one of them likes to farm or work the land, so they are selling it. Pristine, undeveloped land, fallow, no structure on it anymore, surrounded by waterfalls, on Maui's windward side- the east end, a few miles from heavenly Hana. An open canvas for your permaculture dreams. Here is the link to the property: https://maui.paragonrels.com/CCR/collablink/b0cdab60-4643-451a-a373-8c7c0bade015/listings/results?&forMlsId=MAUI&sid=GGW26NZNsGT
