I just spent some time in Arkansas last week looking at land. It is really quite beautiful and hilly in the north. I was pleasantly surprised! I am in a similar boat-looking for some land to build a sustainable community/farm/school or at the very least a refuge away from the craziness of our current times. (I was teaching in NYC the last few years. I am worn out by it all, longing to be settled and back to the basics of nature and homesteading.)
I am temporarily living in Wyoming, but the winter is too cold for my liking…and biking. (In my thirty four years, I have yet to own a car and hope I never need to. I have been spoiled by living in areas that are bicycle friendly and have public transportation.
I am a bit hesitant to dive in to a new area alone without a support system or knowing much about an area. I thought I would reach out since the coincidence in Arkansas interest and that I would also probably be labeled a “conservative hippie”. Feel free to share your contact information, I would love to talk more.
