East Texas homestead community

My name is Cameron and I currently live in Dallas and want out. I am looking to build a community near Tyler, Texas of likeminded homesteaders. I am very early in my journey, but would like to own land by the end of the year. I feel like we can buy more land for cheaper if we go in together and then split it up once it is purchased. This does 2 things 1) puts like minded people close by and 2) gets us more acreage per dollar.

With that being said this post is searching for two kinds of folks.
- People interested in taking on the homesteading lifestyle and building a community around soil health
- Folks looking to sell land to people that deeply care about the land

I personally would like to obtain 30ish acres.

Splitting land off after a purchase is expensive.  Why not start a international community?  A good real estate lawyer might be able to help you with this.

If you don't have the funds to do this why not find one that is already working.  Some suggestions:
