Hello James,

Thank you very much for such a valuable information and the time you took to provide it.

I am familiar with some of these tools.

On-line portals like LandWatch.com, in my opinion, are flooded with real estate agencies that use the tool, in many occasions, as bait to increase marketability.
It is common to find properties that are, simply, "to-good-to-be-true". Then, upon inquiry, you will find that "that" listing is "sale pending" and, of course, you are then redirected to many other listings of that agency. This happen very very often, and such incorporates an obvious frustration to the search endeavor leaving a bitter taste about this on-line tool. This is just my personal experience.
Precisely, due to these on-line portals it the reason why I am posting this, with the sole intention of finding "someone" who is actually an owner who wants to sale.

I am very grateful to you for providing this National Map link. Very useful!!!

The issue with water availability is, as you boldly mentioned, of crucial importance when making a buying decision.

Again, James, thank you very much for your reply. It is highly appreciated!!!

Best!

Hello folks,

My name is Ruben Pares. And have some questions to ask here to all of you, experienced homesteaders.

We are a couple of professionals; my wife a Horticulturist, I am an Architect.
We owned and operate a beautiful piece of land in the outskirts of Havana, Cuba, that we called "our homestead" . The land is roughly a 12 acres plot, 200m above sea level, and is pretty developed with numerous permaculture endeavors.

At this point, and due to a variety of circumstances, most related to the global pandemic and its movement restrictions, we have comeback to USA for a while.
Since these restrictions continue to be in place with no clear timeframe of ending, we want to acquire a piece of land in USA where we can homestead.

We respect realtors and the real estate business, but like to stay out of it if possible. Rather, we would like to buy a piece of land from "someone" that own it, and pay for it with real money. Like in old times, ....sorry to be such and old-timer...

Our Wants....:
1- A plot of land from owner
2- Ideally, previous farm, but not necessarily
3- Fully wooded, it could be undeveloped.
4- We are open to all continental USA
5- Lot size: open, but preferably 5+ acres
6- Price range: 20K max. Cash deal in exchange for clear deed.
7- IMPORTANT: No HOA, No building restrictions, No assessments. RV, camping, accessory structures, farming, animals, friendly with no restrictions (does these exist in USA or I have to look in Europe...) ?
8- Ideal for permaculture; preferably

Feel free to contact me at any time:

Hello Victor and others;

I have read with enthusiam through this forum about black pomegranate.

EcoRUKELA is a sustainable farm currently being developed in Cuba.
We have limited resources, as you can expect, and are constantly looking for collaboration and support to increase our fruit trees varieties.

I don't think we have this variety of pomegranate in Cuba...
Do you think is it possible to obtain some cuttings from your plant? It will be magic, if we can have this here!!

Let us know if this is possible, so we can arrange with someone in Miami, Florida for shipping.
We will be more than happy to pay por any shipment costs to Miami.

Thank you very much for all these winderful comments!!.... they are very valuable!
