170 acres in West Va for $85000
Property is close to Huntington...off of I-64. I was offered it to harvest the timber but talked owners into selling for a homestead land. They got it last month due to a death in family...If it was closer to me I would buy it. Power on Property....Make someone something nice or I might buy it thru my hunting club.
Later
Keith
Drop me a line if you want details...

I have a house in Frankfort and own a farm in Owen Co and some land out in Pike Co...But it's logging that puts me all over the mountains year round.

I wish you were doing this closer to us. My husband and I would love to take part in something like this (although I'd have to dig into the details as far as the shared pasture and whatnot). We would like at least 10 acres, but are willing to live on as little as 3 since that is the minimum for livestock in our area.
So how does that work with the sharing? I'm really interested.

So do they take turns working the garden/pasture, or are they each alotted a certain area in which to raise their food? Is there a community processing center for meats?

I am always trying to find info on this kind of stuff, but I never know what to look for. Most of the material I find is on communities that were started in the 60's-70's, but I didn't think that would give me an accurate picture of how these things are done today.
Are there books on this?

I just took the contract today but I plan to allot 1/2 acre of garden land to each person and have the pastor open free run. I will be allowing the community member the option to vote on better ideas also cause that is only fair. I will be building a 35 by 50 community building with a kitchen as per the Amish standard where I grew up. This to offer a larger place for members to bulk canning, meat cutting, and other activities. Once again each deed holder will get one vote of course as a majority own I will have the final say but I will limit myself to medation role as I don't want to impeed the balance.
Later,
Keith

There are a lot of communes but they are very limited to size and locations. I fear setting this up that I am going to be stuck with a property that will goto waste. But I well I will just hold it for 10 years and drop it on the market later should my idea fail as many have. I will say this I would like to see the use of Ethanol and BioDiesel at the place as I am a huge fan and supporter of both items.
Thanks,
Keith

If I owned 170 acres and had people giving me money and allowing me to have final say in all "votes" I would just come out and declare myself emperor and stake the land as Boblandia, independent nation extraordinaire!

Thanks, but no thanks. I want to be my own Queen Bee, make my own decisions, and keep my horses. Love my Kaboda, too. You probably wouldn't allow my OMG - wolf-dog either.
Been in a group situation (homeowners assoc) & even was president. Made me never, never  want to be there again. No rules but my own on my own land.
Best to you though...

Yeah, well, this is another type of "homeowner's association" but you won't own your home! that's $15,000 an acre...you can own your own truly somewhere else in this state for a lot less.
And just what do you intend to do, import a lot of nuns?

I sure can't blame you for buying the property! But I'd probably be interested in just keeping it for myself! LOL.
