This is a 1600 sq ft cabin/ house situated on 23 acres of beautiful wooded land bordering The Santa Fe National Forest. The house has a large shared garden, an attached greenhouse and a root cellar. This property teams with wildlife and birds. There is an intermittent creek that runs through the land and there are hiking trails. Nestled in the Rocky Mountains bordering Santa Fe National Forest, these shared 23 acres are an idyllic home for those desiring exquisite beauty, lots of privacy and an easy 25 min. commute to Santa Fe. A 4-acre meadow of diverse grasses and wildflowers; an abundance of conifers, evergreens and deciduous trees; the seasonal La Cueva creek meandering 1/4 of a mile through the entire length creates a peaceful, riparian habitat for wildlife and is a nature lovers/artist paradise. Beautiful rock outcroppings and bluffs punctuate the land with documented archaeological sites of Anasazi origin. Located in an Aspen grove, the central permaculturally-minded compound has a private well with test results showing excellent drinking water; 3 rain catchments, small circulating pond; vegetable, flower, and herb gardens, intermingled with native landscaping. For the right person or people (will consider a couple) this can be a wonderful place to live. We love it here. You would be sharing with one other person. The rent will be $690/mo plus utilities, satellite internet, references and security deposit. Will be available July 1st.

We are a well established group of 7 families living on 300 acres in rural Tennessee. This is gently rolling farmland with 2 miles of pristine river frontage, many springs and good timber land that are used by all. All of our homes have gravity flow spring water. All of our homes are solar powered and have been "Off-Grid" for 30 years. There are no power lines crossing our property. We have always grown our food naturaly,without chemicals, and we use no additives in our livestock feeds. Some of us still use only horse power for farming and some use mechanical power. We also have a sawmill. We believe that children are a blessing,that family is the foundation of the individual and cooperation is the foundation of community. We home school our children. We do not believe that individual self-sufficiency is possible but we think that community sufficiency should be everyone's goal. Independence with community support is our goal. We have one more 10 acre homestead for sale. The price is $10,000 per acre. More acreage is available should the buyer desire it. Our experience has taught us that 10 acres is the mimamum acreage required for a family to sustain itself. For an interview with more information please call 615 545-7241 from 4pm-8pm Monday-Saturday.
