Hi Sharry,
I just saw your ad and was wanting to reply. I have 327 acres in the Zuni mountains, just 30 miles south of Gallup, New Mexico, and at an elevation of 7,000 ft. I have been thinking about starting a community and have not figured out the right business model/ structure.
That I do realize it takes people and figured it may be a good thing for us to talk as I believe you have given this more thought than I have.
A little bit about me.. I live with my wife. We have been together for 18 years. I spend my time as a consultant during the day. And rescue wild horses ( Navajo Mustangs) but I'm not working.
The ranch has 2 wells so we have a lot of water. The house we live in, another two-bedroom two-bath house that we rent out, a barn for 4-6 horses, And some sheds.
Please let me know if any of this is interesting.
Paul
