Where high desert meets pine forest, Southern Oregon at 4000 ft.

We have the opportunity for a shared-ownership on some very in-expensive 11 to 20 acre properties in Southern Oregon about 10 minutes from Bly oregon, 1 hour from klamath falls oregon, and about 10 hours from Seattle.

The 11 acre property is southward sloping towards a creek. A state bike trail divides the acreage. There's about 7 acres flat bare to the north and about 4 acres with pine trees sloped and stoney southward towards the creek. A creek runs about 100 ft south of the property border. Fremont national forest is a couple hundred feet from the property line. Water is about 65 feet down.

The 20 acre is flatter with pine trees. Water is also about 65 feet down.

Cost for ownership is approximately $1000 per acre. I only want about 2-5 acres for myself. We would find shared owners for the remaining balance of acreage. Drilling wells for water (water is about 65 feet down).
Purpose of the shared land:
residing, living simply off the land and closer to nature
investment for future
avoid paying rent or mortgages
working collectively to make decisions, possibly share meals
working together to build simple homes/cabins
fostering community among members

Possible ideas:
solar well pump for central bath/water supply
building with local materials of stone for floors and foundations
sunken vegetable beds
shared meditation/yoga room
shared audio-video media center with highspeed internet

What's expected of you:
Initial investment for your portion of land ownership $1000-5000 for rights to 1 to 5 acres. Then be involved in the effort of drilling (purchasing carbide/diamond drillbit , welding up drilling rig, water tank). Help with surveying, building some stone foundations and small walls, possibly a central bathing/shower and water center (maybe even small pool if very eager). Help with costs of cement and possibly transportation with truck. Digging of sunken vegetable garden beds, soil enrichment, nursery. Possible recruiting of other like-minded homesteaders who can help in the effort at hand. Paying your portion of the taxes at about $5-$25 per year (almost nothing).

If you are interested in becoming a shared owner for approximately $1000/acre and living simply in the high pines then please email with questions and let's meet to discuss this. 1 to 5 acres investment preferred so that we are all equal owners. There is the potential for dividing the lot into 5 acre pieces at a later time or if you wish to sell.

We are looking for one or two easygoing, enthusiastic singles or couples to share our farm. Our biodynamic & organic farm rests in a small valley at the base of the Cascade Mountains in a tiny village (pop. 2,000) in SW Washington 30 minutes NE of Portland, Oregon. We have private areas in farmhouse with shared land and outbuildings. We have dairy cows, chickens, bees, cats, orchards, flowers and vegetable gardens. Exceptionally good well water, wood and electric heat, woodshop, historic barn, small greenhouse, year round gardens and lots of wildlife.

We hope to find folks familiar with Rudolf Steiner's biodynamic farming, community building, permaculture, and who love nature, gardening and healthy food. Price range is $100,000 to $195,000. We may be able to finance part of that. More info and photos on our website. This gorgeous century old farm is blessed with peace and kindness.

Hoping to find kindred community with room to rent in OR, WA, N.CA, ID, etc., where I can live cooperatively and grow food full-time for us all. I am a serious micro-farmer currently managing a CSA through 2010 and will come with all the tools, equipment and resources to develop or expand a production vegetable growing operation. I live with a medium hounddawg who rescued me and comes with the package. I am 63 and receive Social Security monthly check. I would like to rent a room or bring my tiny travel trailer and share some common space in a larger living area....hoping to connect with diverse, loving, mutually caring adults who are not afraid to need one another.
