Hello,

I am a 39 year old mother with pc, landscaping/gardening, lay carpentry skills. I and my 12 year old son and looking for inexpensive lodging with progressively minded people. Have a small monthly allowance and willing to trade labor as well. Thanks!

We are in the midst of forming a community in Skagit County and are seeking individuals, couples and families to bring their skills and joys to share. The Woolley Mammoth sits on a hill overlooking the Skagit River and Valley, five miles east of Sedro-Woolley towards the North Cascades. The house proper is GIGANTIC measuring in at about 8600 square feet, and has many varieties of spaces available for individual and community needs. We encourage cottage businesses and there is already a screenprinting shop in the basement as well as a small solar hot water business. Our sauna is up and running, and we have a solar heated outdoor bathing area (as well as indoor bathrooms). We have a flock of chickens, a few turkeys, and gardens are underway and developing. Perhaps there will be goats in the future. Much depends on the interests and capacities of those who find their way here. One possibility is for the place to evolve into an educational retreat center, focusing on the healing arts for body and earth. For those interested in living here, there are opportunities to rent space or purchase a stake in ownership. Rooms rent from $300-$500. Presently there is one couple with a baby girl and two single men living here.

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.
