Hello, my name is Michael; my wife and I recently purchased 5 acres of land in rural Keystone Heights Florida. The property came with a septic tank, a well without a pump, and a power pole with out service. The front acre is mostly cleared while the other four are slightly wooded and slope down to a creek bed. Depending on which route you take it is a rough and bumpy 15 minutes drive to the closest paved road, it is hard to get a signal on my phone, and I love it.
A cabin shell is going to be placed on the land in January to make into a nice little home for us and our 5 kids. We plan on doing some market gardening and growing medicinal herbs using permaculture techniques.
I am looking for some like minded people that want to get into the offgrid, eco-village, communal lifestyle and build something great. So if you have yurt, tiny house, camper, rv, or just a tent and are looking to do something different with your life drop me a line.
Part of my plan is also to document this experience for a Youtube / webcast show. Two of my cousins and my brother in law make documentary films so I will have lots of help.
The property is about 50 minutes from Jacksonville, Gainesville, and St. Augustine and is located between Goldhead State Park and Belmore State Forest.
