Your Ideal Life

[AAAA]

just point of discussion...making a community on somewhere around 10-40 acres takes an eternity to "finish" but could be dried in with comfortable living quarters and the beginning of an office and town within 5 years and probably less. that would even allow for garden, pond/stock tank of course internet access.

20 to 100 people could start something for about half a million bucks. these days that is not impossible for an extended family.

$250,000 for 10 acres, another $50,000 for water tanks, tractor, septic tanks and propane and another $50,000 for a few trailors for starters would still leave a budget for some outbuildings and taxes.

i believe there are even places that will set up a wireless internet access for something this size for almost nothing.

set up a non profit school and have people come and build adobe, or strawbale, domes or earthsheltered dwellings. add a few fun activities like dude rodeos, spa, chiropractor and masseuses and you have the start of a real retreat.

of course it doesn't take much to have an ongoing poker game...and it would even be legal if it were a home game in most states out west at least.

people bring their skills and willingness to work and enough passive income to pay for food and living expenses until income could be generated by the members.
