Hi David,
I was posting my own "request" and saw your post.
My boyfriend and I are looking for a possible partner(s) in land sharing. We are looking for a rural land with a combination of pasture and forest with water, preferably a spring. We would like to build a sustainable permaculture-based animal-friendly homestead with natural buildings. We are currently looking in the Kooskia to Riggins corridor in Idaho County which has very minimal building codes and banana belt weather conditions with USDA hardiness zone 6a but not as dry as Colorado with plenty of creeks and rivers. We found numerous possibilities in 20-50 acre range but they are outside of our budget, over $100K. We'd like to keep it simple so we're looking for a couple or one or two separate partners. We have about $50K available for the land so we are looking to increase the capital 2-3 times and have enough room for a comfortable secure living for our small group that would hopefully benefit the environment and other communities around us by improving the land and providing natural education, food, and medicine. I just quit my professional live as a forensic scientist in Denver and we are finishing an online PDC course with Geoff Lawton and we are hoping to use the homestead as an educational site for permaculture courses. My boyfriend is very handy with farm and construction work (including heavy machinery operation) and is looking into getting certified in masonry heater building. We are peace living anarchists and would like to partner up with like minded people.
If this sounds like something you might be interested please contact us at
