This is purely hypothetical at this point, but is it realistic to think that anyone would want to offer a land share with a woman in her 60’s to 70’s with a guaranteed income and her own accommodation.  This woman would have wisdom from experience in homesteading, off-grid living, livestock, hunting, food preservation, sewing, nursing, lots of stuff like that.  She would have a plan in place for when and if the time comes that she needs care.  She would be willing to work, actually wanting to work since she has trouble sitting still. 🤣🤣🤣

Your question may be hypothetical though I feel this situation has happen at so point in the past.

I don't have any real examples to show you so I hope there are folks out there that will share with you their experience.

there are some remarkable women out there that have accomplished their dreams at a later age.  I am sure you have heard of some who went back to college and got their degrees.

I recently heard of a woman who was buying a house and starting a catering business.

Hello Judy!  I wanted to know if you’re still looking for a place to settle? I’m on 10ac in southwestern NM and looking to add 4-5 more women ONLY (want to avoid misogyny, sexual harassment, and provide a safe space for women). There is a well and solar. Currently have a greenhouse, ordered 49 trees to be planted in the fall, being self sufficient and building a couple of small cob houses. If this interests you please message me! Have a great day!
