The Molina Center is up for sale: While it's not entirely an 'EcoVillage' it does have the foundation to become retreat/event Center that can expand within the approved masterplan that allows for a large Convention/living center and some more units.  Right now it is probably best suitable for a Land Coop of  8 or so dedicated stewards with a shared vision.  The owner is entirely amicable to doing so. But this is a project that is on a time basis as the owner wants to move from it as soon as possible: It's not cheap but with the right people, it's pretty amazing.

It's 1.7 millions but open to serious investors that would create either a Community Land Trust or possibly some sort of Land Coop or Fractional Ownership model:  Here are some pictures.  The ultimate property for a treatment and rehabilitation center, getaway or retirement estate,  and business or income opportunity. This estate located on the Grand Mesa (Molina, CO), has breathtaking views & solitude from its 40+ acre tract, & includes 3 total buildings, various site improvements, extensive infrastructure, all personal property & FF&E INCLUDED!! The main building (Admin/Cabin) contains 3,275 SF w/ 5 rooms, 3 baths, full commercial kitchen, self-composting restrooms, large sunroom, walk-out patio & more! Great to use as a residence, administrative office, retreat area, commercial use, etc. The second building (Lodge) is made up of 5 separate residential units for a total of 3,045 SF, 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, common living area, full kitchen, full solar installed, & more! This would be great for lodging of friends/family, retreat guests, employees, or short term (Airbnb)/long term rentals for supplemental income. The third building (Shop w/ Apartment/”Beehive”) is composed of a total of 3,315 SF & has a large 2 bay shop to be used for a workshop or vehicle/equipment storage, as well as a full 1 bed/1 bath apartment on the 2nd floor with an open living room, kitchen & bathroom w/ a shower. Great for additional living quarters or rental income, with the large shop able to be utilized or remodeled & repurposed. In addition to all the building improvements, there has also been substantial site improvements done including extensive landscaping with front waterfall, gazebo, sprinklers, concrete pads for potential events/use, graveled & graded lot for excess parking, 7 RV spots that have been built for guests to stay or to rent out, & more.  Self-sustainable infrastructure has also been installed throughout the property, including a full septic system, self-composting waste system (cabin), private well w/ filtration system, garden, installed solar, 48 shares of irrigation water, & even a hideaway bunker! The list of improvements & opportunities for this property are endless, allowing for various uses and income for business or personal life.  TheMolinaCenter .

I'm not sure how many of you are on Facebook, but here's the listing I created for this project.  The owner is open to fractional ownership, and such.  WWW.themolinacenter.org.

Location: Alto Paraiso area in the State of Goias, Brazil. The land is an inholding within a 18acre conservation area called Campo Alegre. Campo Alegre is a land of crystals and waterfalls with a fairly temperate climate for the tropical region.  We're looking for investors and people that want to live in a Brazilian paradise.  Let me know if you're interested.
Thanks!

Hi Everyone,

This is a callout regarding a 7,500 Hectare area of land in Brazil. Green Earth Vision’s mission is to support humanitarian projects like this one which are dedicated to building new economies and societies to help those who envision a bright future.  We have worked with Campo Alegre for 10 years supporting this great vision. The time has come to open up to selling this beautiful land. We were willing, and still are, to take a loan against the land.. The full 7,500 hectares or 18,500 acres is appraised at USD$55Million. All paperwork is available.

Nivedano (30 year steward of the land) felt called to use his personal funds to acquire and steward this rare land for the good of humanity and the planet. He sees clearly the potential for the emergence of a new kind of human society that could be birthed there. He wanted to create a safe haven for those seeking to profoundly enrich and deepen their inner lives.

The original plans for this land involved the building of a consciously planned futuristic sustainable city. We would like to sell this pristine virgin rainforest to a conscious investor who cares for the earth and sees the highest potential of this land.  The land is in reserve status for protection and has some development approval for a small ecovillage/learning center .

The location of Alto Paraiso is an ideal location for this type of project and similar visions due to it’s unique setting and great outdoor living climate. This specific land is the 2nd largest biodiverse natural reserve [RPPN] in Brazil and one of the few opportunities like this left in the world.



On the land and nearby you will find a plethora of natural landmarks to explore. This land is located 8 km from Chapada dos Veadeiros National Park; A five star National Park and one of the top ranking in the world. This natural habitat is the home to many endangered species, 164 springs, 6 rivers, and 3 sacred mountains including one full of ancient crystals. Nivedano calls this “An immense cosmic antenna”.  This valuable property also contains one of the headwaters of the Amazon river and is one of the most plentiful bountiful areas on Earth.  Some of the rare fauna found here include: 25 species of orchids, the pampas deer, marsh deer, maned wolves, jaguar, and others like the rhea, seriema, tapeti, giant armadillo, anteater, capybara, tapir, green-beaked toucan, black vulture, and the king vulture. The sustainability potential for this stunning land is immense. This is why we hope it stays in stewardship with the right people.

I love this thread.  I'm interested in this project and would love to learn more.  I'm currently based in Ashland, Oregon but am looking at relocation with the right opportunity.  At this point, I want to be in a place that has both potential and movement toward a vision of permaculture, resilient design, and ideally the resident can have vested interest.  I like the thought of Community Land Trusts, Limited Equity Coops, and Cohousing along those lines.  My email is Hugmachine45@gmail.com.

I'd like to throw my hat in.  I have family in Seattle, and have lived in WA,OR, and CA.  I'm a jack of most trades. I currently live in Ashland, Ore and am looking to relocate.  I have the following skills: Regenerative Gardening, basic electrical, landscaping and lawn maintenance, general handyman, tree planting, irrigation systems, and generalized auto repair including trouble shooting and minor small engine repairs.   I would love to discuss my qualifications and have great references.  My educational background is in Natural resources/Sociology.  I am a director for www.GreenEarthCity.org  and am currently working on Community Land Trust modeling with land acquisition purchasing through Limited Equity Coops.  I write, snowboard, play music, bike, and generally spend a lot of time working on my projects.  Looking forward to seeing what new opportunities are possible.
