Hi there,

Putting this out as a floater. I have 80 acres of mountain land in east Kentucky with flat clearings and the bottom and the top, and I am wondering if there are young, cash-poor sepp holzer / silvopasture/ terraced ag enthusiasts who are looking for an opportunity to implement their designs and work the land. There is a ~800 sq foot brick building on the property that I am fixing up to make livable. I would not require much for rent, just enough to pay property taxes, utilities, and maintain the property with use (probably a few thousand a year). I am recently engaged and won't be able to live out there as planned, but I want to get someone with ideas and energy on it that is looking to learn and profit from creative food production. I have access to some capital if you have a profitable plan, would prefer higher margin luxury and specialty items for chefs and big-ticket food enthusiasts, I can get you some money (probably not a lot). We would work out some form of profit share. If you don't have a plan to profit, still let me know, right now there is no competition. Either way would be longer term deals I assume.

Whoever it is, be prepared for a slew of legal stuff that says I'm not responsible if you hurt yourself! Slight preference for groups, but high energy, high integrity, and high intelligence is what I'd select for.

Another heads up, this is in coal country. you'd want to have some plan to filter air for safety if you're there a long time. Most people don't take it seriously, but you should have a plan. I've tested water from the creek and it's clean (basic drinking water test). Again, it's all at your own risk. Need more advanced soil test, but very basic one came back solid (not sufficient for health passionates).

Reply with an email or some other way for me to get in contact and I'll reach out. share as much as you feel like. Understand if you'd rather talk out of forum, but I don't think this has messages so you'll have to share some info in the open. you can delete it after I contact you maybe?

Anyway, hope this interests some of you.
Connor

let me know if there is a way to make this post more inviting / in form for this site. I'm not a forum guy so probably have it written awkwardly in parts.

Maybe post it under volunteers or jobs offered?

I think you need to make the legals prtections clearer and not a smack in the head.
They need to be 2 way.
details of access to services, shop, town.
Is it mountainous, what elevation is it and broad climatic conditions.
Photo of structure, details of  its services, water, power, septic.
Length of lease you have in m9nd, quality of access.

My wife and I are looking to get away and live a more simple life. We've had a very bad time since we lost the home we were buying on land contract due to a sleezy landlord. We've been off and on homeless since then. Currently living in our car, I would love to offer my strong back and sharp mind, in exchange for building a self sufficient small log home in the area you mentioned.  Please contact me.
