Hi Sharry,

It sounds like you might be a good fit just about anywhere. I know it's a long way from Tennessee, but if Southern Oregon is at all on your radar, maybe we can talk more. I have some Off-grid forestland outside the town af Ashland.

Good luck in your search,

Hi Christopher,

I saw you post here, and on IC. I am outside of Ashland and if you're currently down here in Southern Oregon, I'd Love to connect and learn more.

Spring is here. The snow has all but melted. Time to start the new year.

I have some forestland in Southern Oregon, outside the town of Ashland. Feels very remote and wild, yet it's a mere 25 mins to town and along the major west coast route, I-5. Midway between SF and Portland, this off-grid property is in need of people. Good people. The infrastructure is slowly coming together but needs ongoing attention and new projects are piling up. If you are looking for an opportunity to Live and learn and grow in a beautiful part of the country, this may be an opportunity for you. Tel me about yourself; what interests you have, what skills you bring to share, and which you hope to learn.

Some info about the place. It's off-grid, so not electricity currently other than generators when needed for projects. There is fresh spring water plumbed to various spots on the property, a few cabins available. Each in various states, but each livable. There are components for putting in a centralized solar system to provide on-site power without running generators. There is an endless number of projects to be taken on. Specific projects I am hoping to undertake this year include installation of a couple ram water pumps to help gather and store water from additional locations on the property, and installation of a solar system. Those are just a couple but there are many more that are priorities for me and maybe others you'd like to bring to the table. There's clay on the property, for cob-work, and many other natural materials to incorporate into projects. Maybe get a willow-feeder toilet going. Again, endless opportunities. If you're looking to earn your SKIPS and PEP badges, this is the place.

Reach out if you're interested and we can talk more. Goos luck in your search.

Hi Camille,
I have some off-grid forestland, outside of ashland Oregon. If the region is of interest, we can discuss opportunities further. You can look at some of my other posts to learn more about the property and what I've got going on. Good luck in your search.

Hi Rad Bey,

If you’re not stuck on California, which is a big a diverse place, maybe you’ll consider southern Oregon. You can learn more about my property and what I gave going on here through some of my other posts, but to summarize, I’m outside the town of Ashland. Property is off-grid mountain forestland. Have cabin available and clean drinking water from a spring. And if you need California, it’s only 3 miles away, as the crow flies.

Good luck,
Leaf

Hi Reese and Nadav,

I have some off-grid forestland in southern Oregon that may be a good fit. You can look at some of my other posts to learn more about what I’ve got going on. Let me know if you’re interested in chatting more.

Good luck finding a spot,

I’m pruning back an old apple tree that has some pretty big suckers. As I cut them off, some have roots on them and I’m wondering if anyone has experience (or thoughts) with propagating these into root stock that I could later use to graft desired cultivars to? And help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Not sure if you've found your place. You sure do set the standards pretty high (no pun intended) with Humboldt, or the Hawaiian islands. Well, my spot is neither of those, but beautiful in its' own right. I'm in Southern Oregon, outside of Ashland. My property is remote, but 20-30 mins from town. It's off-grid with minimal infrastructure. Growing more each year. You can look at my other posts if interested.

Good luck with your search,

Hi Wendy,

I'm in southern Oregon, with some off-grid forestland. You can read some of my other posts to learn more about it and myself. Most of it is still applicable. While the property is looking for community, I wouldn't be able to promise any permanent land trade without having spent some time together. In reality, That would likely be measured in years, not weeks or days. Being a place I've found and made the investment in. I would be able to commit to long-term neighbors that were a complete match. That being said, I am not opposed to the concept and, having been on your end, completely understand the desire to gain equity from your contributions. I have not explored the legal options, restrictions, or liabilities around such an agreement.

Good luck in your search,

Hi Lauren,

I'm not sure exactly what you're looking for in terms of location, housing needs, or compensation, but all those things may be helpful for you to include here. I have off-grid forestland in southern Oregon, with some infrastructure in place and more being implemented each year. If the area is of interest, you can look through some of my other posts and learn more about me and my place. Most of the stuff is still applicable, though some is out of date.

Good luck in your search,
