Would you be willing to give up city life in order to move out on the countryside and work towards self-suffiency?
We're back for another and probably the last thread we will ever make on this board regarding our project of creating a self-sufficient community.
We've been holding together now for almost a year planning and looking into the possibilities of starting one of these settlements for people that are tired of the changes to worse and the social climate in our countries and I must say that we've come a long way. We've had an active group of around 10 people finalizing the the details on the move and also discussing pretty much nothing and everything.
So to get more into it, we've managed to find a nice property on around 40 acres for a really affordable price with seller financing that we can afford and it's enough land for a smaller community, the land is covered with mainly trees but is on the outskirts of a farming region so the soil and climate is good for crops. We will be granted all rights that comes with this property so cutting down and selling a portion of our trees will be done in order to gain some money and some space for infrastructure.
We're near a small town of 8000 inhabitants which is 95% white and the surrounding towns are alike so crime and selfishness won't be high at all (please keep in mind that this project is not an attempt at creating a secret nazi sect on the countryside but more of a retreat for people who wants to live more naturally).
The positive things about this region and property are endless while the negative ones are very few so don't think it's anything like Namibia for instance.
At the moment we're waiting for the paperwork in order to setup a corporation where we can send our money in order to pay off the property (since we're mostly from northern Europe and northern America) and it will be useful in the future since we plan on starting various businesses since there are a lot of skills in the group from farmers to construction workers to IT.
If you got any more questions about the project feel free to request my Skype and we can chat on there (yes we use Skype because as i said we're not a bunch of nazis planning illegal shit or another holohoax in the US).
We're at the moment looking from someone that lives in Maine because it would help us out a lot, we don't want your shekels but are more interested in having someone closer to the property since most people from north America in the group are from other parts of canada and american south so its kinda far away. We're not looking for people to go live there within a month or so because some people in the groups still got things to do and we're planning on settling 100% in the coming year or 2 (since its a huge project).
If anyone else would be interested in joining but doesn't live in Maine feel free to talk some with me and we could possibly work it out since the more we are the better it is (but we won't go over the 20 people mark)
Questions/ideas/requests are all welcome and I'll be monitoring the thread for the days to come (if there is any interest hehe)
